-Pressure cookers are widely available at thrift shops for very little money.  If you go this way, a unit with a weight[s] to regulate pressure is less complicated than dial-type regulators.  The latter require regular calibration.  Be sure your weight-regulated cooker comes with the weight, as they can cost $10 or more.  Most used pressure cookers are due for [[https://amzn.to/2MSuu4V|a gasket set]], also about $10.  Google the model number stamped into the bottom of the cooker to find the correct gasket. +Pressure cookers are widely available at thrift shops for very little money.  The most common type with a weight((or weights)) ("rocker") to regulate pressure((and therefore temperature)) is less complicated and more sturdy than the rarer types with dials or gauges.  Be sure the thrift store weight-regulated cooker **comes with the weight**, as they can cost $10 or more.  Most used pressure cookers are due for [[https://amzn.to/2MSuu4V|a gasket set]], also about $10.  Google the model number stamped into the bottom of the cooker to find the correct gasket.
