Pressure Cooker Extraction

Recommended Posts

I'd imagine a pressure cooker would turn a day-long brewing task into an hour or two. A shaman in the Amazon brewing Ayahuasca(Caapi plus Viridis) probably has plenty of time but if he/she used a pressure cooker, would this impact on the quality of the decoction?

Would high pressure and heat destroy any active constituents?

i havent a clue but its a very interesting question

however , an aluminium one would be totally out of the question due to a chemical reaction I read about once with aluminium pans

so if it can ,,, it would have to be a steel one

I dont know about extractions.

But we (actually my girls, i tend to stay out of their way in the kitchen) cook food inside a ceramic crock pot with a lid that sits neatly inside the PC. They cover the pot with foil to keep the condensation out when cooking.

Hypothetically speaking, 15-20mins per boil @ 15psi. Purely based on old school reading from ER. Do what shortly says and don't let it foam and block the air hole parts etc. a pillow case with a plate over the top is next best
