Old Gray Mare
TB Fanatic
Veterinarian tells and shows how she sterilizes surgical instruments using a pressure cooker. The brief talk starts at 7:28 into the video. In the video the vet states that: ".... at 15 PSI for 20 minuets we can reach surgical sterility.". This sounds like something out of MASH. If any of our Medical folk can add or clarify please do so.
Unfortunately it looks like earlier in the video she uses the open kettle method to can some pickles. I don't use this method as the USDA has deemed it dangerous and my experience when I was young using it is that not every jar seals and some jars have weak seals that will will fail. Cleaning up glass from a spaghetti sauce jar that has exploded is not my idea of fun, cleaning up glass from multiple jars is even less.
