Does this PC actually go to 15 psi? I'm having trouble finding an electric one that actually does.

This model is re-branded Deni, which had same issues - working for a little while and dying. The problem is that the front panel has a gap on the top and if the water gets, it burns out electric. It happened to the first one I got. When the company replaced it, I simply sealed mine with silicone and it has been working wonderfully. It is a great appliance.

Please research this Big Boss further for other reviews. Mine worked wonderfully for the first couple of months. Yes, it did reach 15 PSI.... but after the first couple of months..(perhaps 10 uses) it simply quit working. I went online to find information on making contact with manufacturing company and discovered several other reviews that the product has serious issues. One review even stated that the unit caught fire. Please rethink the brand if you must have an electric pressure cooker. The other negative reviews were also based on the unit breaking down and no longer working after a short period of time. This was such a disappointment and waste of money. Of course it worked just a couple of weeks past the Amazon guarantee so no recourse but to toss it... like throwing money in the trash. Sorry...

And I recently called the manufacturer for a new gasket and they offered to send a new one free of charge.

Yes it does. And I recently called the manufacturer for a new gasket and they offered to send a new one free of charge.

It says it does and I use that setting, but I would not know how to really measure or verify this.

Haven't had a need to go that low. It is adjustable and I have increased the max from 35 to 50 PSI. Suggest you contact the manufacturer.

15 psi is not the standard, it is 10 psi. But this cooker will not sustain 10 psi for the length of time required to pressure can, so no, NO electric pressure cooker should be used for pressure canning. Electric PCs cycle, that is turn on when reaching max pressure then shutting off until a much lower pressure (usually 8 psi) before turning on again. With this much oscillation you can not safely know the contents are sterilized enough to prevent botulism growth. Not only that but with the cycling you get boiling of the canning jars contents which means it will boil out of the jars contaminating the lids and not seal. 15 psi is not the standard, it is 10 psi.

This pump is rated to two levels... kind of. Straight from the pump and hose you get 2.5psi total. With a special additional regulator of sorts (the red item in the pic of this air pump) the pressure maxes at 1.5psi. I can't see how it would work for 13-15psi at all. This is a fantastic little air pump though that moves a LOT of air and fills our LARGE trampoline for lake use quite readily.

There is no electric pump on the market (and I have checked!) aside from a compressor that will pump the boards higher than 5-7 lbs. Manaufacturer recommends that you not use a compressor but I have had great success by modifying the hose that comes with the hand pump and using a compressor with both a tank pressure gauge set low and an input gauge set to 15 lbs. Its not an elegant solution but it works, with one drawback...it severly limits the portability, that is to say, you have to pump the board at the compressor typically located at your residence (rather than pump beachside) which means that you transport the board inflated...if you find an electric pump that works, let me know.

hi there. there is no 15psi. its 12 psi for the 2 setting and 7psi for the 1 setting. i then add a few minutes to the cooking time for a 15psi need. it really isnt that big a difference and you will get the same results. promise. I love my pressure cooker to death and use it for everything from whole octopus to potatoes. mmm

Mine can run up to 125 psi but I don't generally use it that high. I can run a framing nailer or a roofing nailer at 90 psi and it operates efficiently. I have a friend that runs two guns off it at around 100 psi.

negative. well. perhaps if you turn all the so that they blow air into the case it would be a positive pressure. I run the fans on the front pulling in air and the top fan and back fan so that they force the air out and my power supply sucks air in from the base and out the back independent of the case ventilation.I have two fans I planned on adding to the bottom forcing air into the case.at this point the motherboard temp cpu and memory are staying cool. I have have sabertooth mb that has thermal controls for the fan.

Indeed it does, as soon as the temperature hits 40 the fan is moving near 150rpm. If the load is sustained or increases the RPM jumps accordingly. Its got a 140mm double ball bearing fan so it doesn't need to move very fast at all to push a lot of air. I use eco mode and have all of my fans running on a NZXT SENTRY 2 controller on automatic with temp sensors at all major components, it's dead silent for such a large rig and fans on every surface (including a 300mm blow hole).

No, this Pressure cooker works only with 120VAC. It heats only from underneath.My personal comment is that it is a great electric pressure cooker. I use it almost every day. The only one issue I had is with the little plastic container attached on the right side, it falls very easy and is locate just bellow the right handle, if you try to hold the cooker to bring it to a different place, the hand always touch the plastic container and it falls very easy and if it had collected some water you will have an spill on your table or on the floor.

Mine was all pressurized and ready to go. I may have checked prior to placing into service. Use an air pressure gauge suitable for 0 to 15 PSI. Check it against specs, it you need to increase pressure, use a hand pump, like a bicycle tire pump - caution do not exceed max pressure.

It sounds like you are building something heavy-duty. The largest one I have built used a 750 watt. I found the engineering first class and the performance solid. I would buy it again. Built like a gamer, it's still running well after two years. On a smaller machine, the tickler starting circuit failed and they sent me a new PSU, postage paid. Your UPS needs to produce a full sine wave for it, is all. That's what Thermaltake told me, anyway. Good Luck.

first answered I dont know, but then i tried it and am sorry to say NO mine did not, it is however at least 50 % faster than the Willrose that I was using, it actually slowed the PC down, hope this helped!

I bought a new 700W power supply, but it's not even breathing hard, even when I push the envelope! I'd always be over-engineered than under-engineered. It will last just about forever because its not being taxed or pushed to its limit.

This cooker actually doesn't get all the way up to 15 according to Cook's Illustrated and America's Test Kitchen. The highest psi it gets to is 13 on the 2 setting on the lid. Because of this, you have to cook things that call for 15 for a little longer, I've just learned through trial and error. Hope that helps!

As far as the comment >Deni makes 15psi. I doubt it (& have found nothing that states so.. even if it did .. there is a reason for a max or 12 to 13 psi.). First.. the same mfgr that manes the body of the cooker makes GoWize's as well. & several others. only difference are the controll's & the panel they're mounted on . For that matter. I don't believe there is an Electric P.C. made that does go above 12psi (or there aprox). & that's done foe safety. What you need to be careful of, are the ones that are lower psi. as in 10psi or even 8psi. not good, slow pressure build up & longer cook times. >> hope this helps someone.. it did for me..;-) As far as the comment >Deni makes 15psi.

This pump will work at a low press.of5psi up to 100psi+, your electric switch should be set to a cut in-out pressure somewhere between 20-50 psi this is an EXCELLENT pump for the money, you will have to figure out how to plumb it as there are very little in the way of diagrams that come with it.
