Carbonating in a pressure cooker

Travis__70949

Could a person carbonate fruit or beverages inside a pressure cooker using dry ice and the pressure release valve at its highest setting? Chef Steps used a styrofoam container wrapped in layers of cling film to carbonate fruit, but I was thinking why couldn't the pressure cooker be used for a similar cold use.

This is not how the qotd works. If you have a question place it in the proper section and only post it once.

Hi @Travis__70949, great question! #QOTD is for more general questions, so I've moved yours to the Tools section.

Ok, is there a possibility someone could answer it? I'm kind of hesitant to give it a go at home without some professional input.

technically, I believe as long as there is a seal, it would work. That said, what I'm not certain of is the pressure generation of the dry ice and if that would adversely affect the seal shape. The styrofoam is obviously more flexible material (and quite a bit less expensive).

Yes much less expensive, but it's not a comparative buy one or the other, I already have a pressure cooker and want to use it to the extent that I can.

If you read the comments from this post a few years ago, I did the calculations of dry ice in a pressure cooker.

That is exactly the kind of answer I was looking for, thank you very much.
