Pressure cooker rice is good or bad for health?
Pressure cooker rice is not good for stomach which is having more starch.
technically yes, although we tend to think a machine is something like a robot arm in a factory or for sewing etc. Machine comes from mechanism, which means an assembly of separate parts working together to complete a function, any cooker gas or electric, fits this description, breif example; Gas oven, users turns knob, gas flows through open thermostat, to safety valve (fsd- vapour) small amount passes through to be lit, as flame heats vapour valve, the valve opens more gas flows, more heat, thermostat heats up and slowly closes until only bypass (small) amount is let through as this cools the oven more gas flows etc, this type of oven is thermo-mechanical, therefore mechanics, therefore machine, electric is similair

How do you make a still out of a pressure cooker?
Okay the basic operation of a still is simply to take the steam from a boiling liquid and condense it back to a liquid state again. Although a pot still can be made with any type of cooking pot with a lid I recommend that you use a pressure cooker. A pressure cooker is preferable for a few reasons: the lid already has a hole in it for steam to escape, the lid is designed to lock on allowing steam to only exit through the steam hole, and most importantly it is designed with safety devices witch won't allow it to pressurize and explode. From here on out I am going to assume you decided to use a pressure cooker.
Now that you have your pressure cooker(/pot) we need to make a condenser to attach to it. You will need the following items:
Small submersible fish tank style water pump
- 18" of 3" PVC
- 3" PVC caps-two of them
- ¼" soft copper pipe-about 5'
- 3/8 tubing soft -about 10'
- Pvc glue
- 1" hose clamps
- Small tube of silicon caulk
- Wine bottle cork
All of these items can be purchased from your local Lowes/ Homedepot or local hardware store.
Tools needed:
- Drill
- ¼" drill bit
- Flat screw driver
- Maglight C battery sized
- Copper tubing cutter
- Small hand held tubing bender
Okay now take your soft copper pipe, it usually comes in a small roll so unroll a few feet of it being extra careful not to kink it. Leaving one foot of pipe at the beginning start slowly rolling the pipe around the Maglight's handle. Again be very careful not to kink the copper tubing. Roll the pipe around the lights handle at least ten times making a small coil. If you kink the tube you have to cut off the kink and start again, kinks are dangerous because they can create back pressure in your still. When you have your coil finished cut the rest of the copper pipe off leaving an extra foot of straight pipe at the end, just like at the beginning.
Now take one of the 3" PVC caps and drill a ¼" hole into the side of it, about an inch up from the edge. With the other 3" PVC cap drill the same size hole into the top of it just offset from the middle about an inch or so. Push one of the straight sections of the copper pipe into the hole on the side of the 1st 3" cap. Slide the copper coil into the 18" PVC pipe and fit the other pcv cap onto the free end of the copper tubing bend the tubing to match up with the hole using the hand held bender.. Before you push the caps onto the PVC pip make sure you put a fair amount of PVC glue onto the caps.
So now you have about one foot of copper pipe coming out of the top of the PVC then your coil inside the PVC and again about one foot of copper coming out the bottom of the PVC. Feel free to take a minute to pat yourself on the back cause you are almost done. Take the drill and drill 2 hole into the PVC that's housing your coil. One just under the top cap and another right above the bottom cap being very careful not to drill through your copper pipe inside. Cut two 1" pieces of your leftover copper pipe and use the caulk to hold these pieces into the two holes you just drilled. When the caulk is dry (24 hours) use the same caulk to seal the other holes in your PVC where the coil top and bottom come out, wait to dry(24 hours).
Cut your 3/8 tubing in half connecting it onto the two 1" copper nipples in the side of the PVC pipe using two of the hose clamps to ensure it wont leak. On the other end of the bottom tube connect the submersible water pump, so when in use water can flow into the bottom of the 3" PVC and out the top. Bend the top of the copper pipe with the pipe bender to fit onto the steam exhaust hole on your pressure cooker. Drill the right size hole in each end of the wine bottle cork to fit the ¼" copper pipe on one end and the existing nipple on the pressure cooker on the other end.
Congratulations you have a still.
It may have gotten it too hot and warped the metal rim- or the lid. Check it for true with a straightedge. If the pot or the lid is warped, it's time for a new cooker.

Do you need a rivet in a pressure cooker?
A rivet is not necessary for the basic function of a pressure cooker; it is typically used to secure components together, ensuring durability and safety. Most pressure cookers are designed with sealed lids and locking mechanisms that do not rely on rivets. However, some high-quality models might use rivets as part of their construction to enhance strength and stability. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for your particular model.
Where can you a get Ufesa pressure cooker manual?
You can find the Ufesa pressure cooker manual on the official Ufesa website, typically in the customer support or product manuals section. Alternatively, you may check online retailers or platforms that sell Ufesa products, as they often provide downloadable manuals. If you have the model number, searching for it along with "manual" in a search engine can also yield helpful results.
What are casting marks on bottom of old national pressure cooker?
Casting marks on the bottom of an old National Pressure Cooker typically indicate the model number, manufacturing date, and sometimes the capacity of the cooker. These marks are often found as embossed or stamped numbers and letters, providing essential information for identification and compatibility with replacement parts. They can also reflect the quality and authenticity of the product, as well as its historical significance in cooking technology. Collectors and users often reference these marks for maintenance and restoration purposes.
This sounds like the old Aeternum pressure cooker. The lid is not perfectly round but rather oval. one must lift the handle up, turn it 90 degrees (so the metal bar is offset from the indents in the top by 90 degrees) to insert it and then turn back 90 degrees and push the handle down so the ends of the metal cross bar fit into the indents. . if the gasket is old you can get a new one from Miracle Exclusives in Danbury CT. There are other brands out there now that use the same design like Astral, Sunpentown and Lagostina but the Aeternum factory shut down.
The boiling point of a liquid rises when it is subjected to high pressure. So, the food in a pressure cooker is exposed to water (or steam) at a higher temperature than in an open pan. The food, therefore, cooks quicker and so saves on fuel.
A pressure cooker does not save cooling time. In fact, because the food is cooked at a higher temperature it has more cooling to do and that will take longer.
New gasket but pressure cooker won't build steam?
If your cooker won't build steam the gasket isn't sealing. Try taking the gasket out and oiling with vegetable oil and re-inserting it. Make sure it is totally even in the groove. If there are any gaps it won't build pressure.
Where can you find handles for a Revere Ware Pressure cooker Purchased in 1951?
------ I don't know exactly, I am researching about my Revere Pressure cooker and have found many people looking for parts. Apparently, Revere went bankrupt in 2002, but seems to have been bought out (?) by World Kitchen, which is marketing the Revere line, albeit, it seems offering only the most popular items.
Possibly a visit to worldkitchen.com and an email inquiry might steer you in the right direction, or you'll just have to hunt around at thrift stores, craigslist, Ebay or your local junk auction house and estate sales.
I know this isn't the best answer, but maybe it will steer you in the right direction. As I'm looking for Revere parts for my Revere pressure cooker, I'd like to know if someone else has any resources. ------ You can buy new replacement parts for the vintage era Revere Ware cookware now at http://www.reverewareparts.com, including handles, pressure cooker gaskets, screws and nuts, and lid knobs. I was a frustrated Revere Ware fan that couldn't find parts so I went and had them made. I also just (1/30/09) posted a link to a pdf of a Revere Ware pressure cooker manual: http://www.reverewareparts.com/estore/Vintage-4-Quart-Pressure-Cookers.html
Would a pressure cooker be of any value on Mount Everest?
yes, a pressure cooker would come in VERY handy on top of Mt. Everest. This is because the pressure lessens as you ascend which causes your ears to pop.
