Fact : pressure cookers pump out optimum food at 15psi , say Dave Arnold . Problem : most menage pressure sensation cookers max out well below that . resolution : Hack that small punk rock into submission , then feast on the rewards . Warning : Do not try this at home .
Fair warning that Arnold was using a specific Cuisinart model , and that the hack involvedis not for amateurs(cooks , electricians , or otherwise ):
I popped the connector off the circuit board and valuate the resistance of the sensor as I deepen the temperature with hot body of water . thunder . It was a round-eyed temperature - dependent resistance ( RTD ) , and the resistance went down as the sensor got hotter . So far , so good .
I filled the ( unplugged ) pressure cooker with oil and put in an immersion circulator set to 238 F. After the circ reached temperature , I measured how many ohms the sensor was record : 5080 . I then fructify the circulator to 250 F and read the opposition after the oil drive to temporary : 4110 ohms . I enter if I added 970 ohms to the lap I ’d be gilt . I solder in a 10 act trimming potentiometer ( variable resistor ) into the circuit , set it to 970 , and began testing .
But yes , see , once you ’ve done all that , you ’re look at a pressure cooker that churns out professional tier bollock , et al . Proceed with caution , savour with gluttonous abandon . [ Cooking Issues ]
