8 best brands of autoclaves

Many Russians have become supporters of healthy nutrition. In order not to eat dubious products, you can cook various canned products yourself according to traditional recipes. A reliable assistant in this matter is considered an autoclave. The device is a hermetically sealed container in which excessive pressure is formed when heated. This technology provides fast cooking with the preservation of most nutrients and vitamins.

In stores you can find a variety of designs, devices differ in price and capacity. Therefore, when choosing the optimal model, you need to pay attention to several nuances.

1. For starters, experts recommend to decide on tank capacity. For domestic purposes, an autoclave from 15 to 30 liters will most often suffice. Most often, manufacturers indicate the number of half-liter or liter cans that can fit inside the machine. On an industrial scale, the volume of the tank exceeds 300 liters.
2. Tanks are made of carbon steel or stainless steel. To protect against corrosion, ordinary steel is coated with polymer paint. But the price of such an autoclave will be lower than in the case of stainless steel.
3. Many containers are made with double bottom. A thicker wall retains heat better, allowing you to save on energy.
4. Concerning heat source, that is, models that are heated from external devices. They are called gas, although many of them can be put on electric stoves or induction panels. Electric models have a built-in heater, with it heat treatment is carried out.
5. High pressure in a closed vessel poses a certain danger. Therefore, not only measuring devices (thermometer, pressure gauge) should be installed in the lid, but also bleed valves.
