Trying to start this new hobby without braking the bank anything else I can use instead of a pressure cooker?
they are gonna hammer you for dumb questions like this. do like 5 minutes of research yourself on pf tek and you will see you can use a large pot, jar lids, and water to steam sterilize your jars. but try to do some research before you ask questions. everyone here is great but they do expect you to do some research yourself. pf tek and follow it word for word is everyones advice for newbs.
You can get a new pressure cooker for under $30 on amazon. You can pay for it by substituting beans for beef in your diet. It will be the best investment you can make. BTW the pftek has both words and pictures. It is a master class in having success from the beginning. Take it.
Um ya. the pf-tek

never used a pressure cooker myself, since i've never had problems with the boiling method....
Boiling water has never failed me.
