    I have to wonder if the pressure built up in the pressure cooker
    might not damage the plasteri Unless you leave the valve open. I have
    a steam dewaxer..they are great! They remove most of the noxious
    fumes that you otherwise get with burnout. The only disadvantages are
    1. it's an extra 2 hours added to burnout time and 2. you cannot use
    it with most carving waxes...most will not melt out at steam temps. 

    You could probably use an old oven with a pan that stretches across
    the whole width/depth of the oven, fill it with water and the flasks
    on the shelf above iti Try Goodwill or some other thrift store! 

    You could do what I did...I checked with Rio for a used/demo model
    and got it that way at a discount. I believe Gesswein also has
    used/closeout/demo equipment.
