There are ways to avoid the whole pressure cooker for all you newbies out there. The pressure cooker is the most expensive mechandise... invest slowly, then work up to higher forms of engineering!

You could do the boiling technique.

To me, pressure cookers are for large grows. If your working modestly their is no need for a pressure cooker.

Sterilization is key, but it is sometimes overrated in the process. Wipe the top end caps of inoculation jars to reduce humidity and bacteria and you should be safe in the first process of things

wipe with what? seems like that could be inviting bacteria to your jars.
I've never cooked up a batch without a pressure cooker, but I do know that it is easy and preferred. And they aren't all that expensive until you start getting into the bigger models. Think of it as an investment..one with a pretty quick turn around if your friends like to trip.
and it's easy to say that sterilization is overrated until almost all of your jars are taken over by mold..but I do agree to some extent.

I picked one up for about $30, a small one but I use it for cooking too. It's worth it I've thrown away tons of jars doing it half assed ways.
