Default Drilling that hole in the pressure cooker

Well, in that case, there should be no problem to attach to
the protrusion the pressure weight normally rests on (with
a short segment of silicone tubing, for instance).

When I was a kid, most any kid knew, or knew some one
who knew, how to go to the hardware store, select a
threaded brass fitting, a tap drill, and a tap (to cut a thread
in the tap drill hole to allow the fitting to be screwed in).

In China and India, probably in Cuba and Mexico and maybe
in Afghanistan, that may still be true.

Well, if that little problem is too technologically complicated
for our advanced culture, just relax, because the amount of
steam you could get in the oven that way does not make enough
difference to notice.

Kenneth solved his problem finally by shelling out some big
bucks to by a commercial bread oven with a steam generator
built in. The question shall remain why, if his pressure-cooker
trick was so efficacious, he did that.
