What is the difference between pressure cookers and sterilizers?
Unlike pressure cookers, a sterilizer creates a seal inside the chamber as it cools preventing any unclean outside air from entering the chamber during cooling or while your material awaits use after cooking. Sterilizers offer a very affordable solution to high priced autoclaves for the home lab. For most uses a pressure cooker will provide all the sterilizing power you need for home mycological experimentation.
