Pressure cooker still

Post by SGB »

Hello, I live on an island and with limited materials. I have a pressure cooker and some copper pipe from an old air conditioner . The copper pipe is just big enough to fit over the spout on the pressure cooker and about 3 meter long. As a test I ran water through it today to see if it would work . It did drip out some of the water but it also looked as though the pot was building up pressure to do so although even though not as much as when cooking food it still was worrisome . Because of my location it is not at all possible to mail order anything beyond using mud and bamboo so using the pressure cooker seemed an easy still build to do. As a total newbie in searching through the forums here I have seen some that say pressure cookers are dangerous, that the boiler should not have or at least very little pressure as well as the rubber lid gasket.
Has anyone successfully used a pressure cooker here?
