I found a deal ($10) for a used but in good condition 4.2 qt pressure cooker. I am looking to slant some yeast and i am not sure this is big enough. I dont brew a whole lot so i wont have a huge library of yeast just prob a few vials of 5 or so strains. What do you guys think?

I have a 4 quart pressure cooker and wish it were bigger. Mine just barely works for yeast work but is a pain in the ass. For $10 not bad though..... you could make it work for you.

I have a 23qt, and it is nice because I can do all the vials at once. Remember that every time you use it, you have to let it cool for an hour or so before you can use it again. Cooking 40 vials would definitely take more than one day. If you only want 20 or so, its not ideal, but will work, but as with most things in this hobby, bigger is better.

well im waiting to see what brand it is. there is a good chance that it is a mirro which is $30 brand new and only gets up to 10 lbs of pressure. I also found an 18 qt pressure cooker by presto with a gauge that gets up to 15 lbs for $45. Its a bit out of my price range i was hoping for but seems to be a nice one. Ill have to debate with myself on wether or not its worth the extra coin
