Six quart Presto pressure cooker. I can use the aluminum tray that came with it, or stack chopsticks or bamboo skewers to lift the canning jar(s) or these glass containers up off of the floor of the pressure cooker. If I were able to find clear glass lids for these that may work. I like the larger capacity and I tried to order a glass liner if you will, something that matches the inside dimensions of this Presto only a little smaller for the rivets and thermal expansion. It was not the right size and I broke a previous one that fit nearly perfectly only it was a little on the thick side especially on the bottom and no room for a lid of any kind unless depressed. This is for making oil in water with cannabis flowers. If I could use the pressure cooker as a six or maybe five and a half quart glass lined autoclave it might save time or make larger better batches of canna oil.20220903_183809.jpg20220903_183757.jpg

There are lots of instant pot recipes for infusing oil, but I could not find any for a pressure cooker.

Let us know how it works.
