Hi Admiral, Mum had a pressure cooker years ago when I was quite young. They are still in vogue here, at least periodically. The idea is that the food cooks quicker at the higher boiling temperature of water under pressure, and it quite significantly reduces cooking time. They are basically an aluminium saucepan with an elliptical lid that fits in when then seals with an o-ring to seal on the inside of the rim on the pot when the handles are lined up. No idea what pressure they operate it, MJM460
Hi Andrew. do they still make OC71's. and OC72's any more. or is that really old school ??
Two other semiconductors from my early days in electronics, the BC108 small signal transistor and 2N3055 power transistor are still available from professional suppliers. Amazing really, they've be going for more than 60 years.
........where as the 2N3055 was more of a power transistor in a TO-3 case if I remember right.
Hi Gary, so running the engine on the pressure cooker sprays oil all over the stove? That sounds like the voice of experience. Mum would be pleased. Didn’t you get the message about having a separator on the engine exhaust? But running the engine while cooking food would not be advised. Boiling in that situation often foams and carries over due to compounds in the food, and those same compounds would really gunk up the engine.MJM460
