For cleaning tattoo grips, tubes etc.. can a pressure cooker be used instead of an autoclave. As far as I can tell they are one and the same.

State law and professionalism
There is a big difference and you can absolutely not use a pressure cooker as a substitute for an autoclave. Pressure cookers can’t be completely sealed, so you don’t know that it’s a sterile environment. And the psi doesn’t get as high. And they can’t be spore tested, so you don’t know how well it’s working.
A pressure cooker is not an acceptable substitute for an autoclave. If it were do you really think hospitals, dentists, and piercers/tattoo artists would shell out $8,000 for the most basic models when they could get a pressure cooker for $40? Buy an autoclave or don’t tattoo…..simple as that.
The difference between a pressure cooker and autoclave is that a pressure cooker first heats up and then slowly builds pressure after you cap it. By doing this it takes more time for the internal temperature to reach what it’s supposed to. An autoclave on the other hand instantly goes to the pressure you set it at and begins the heat cycle. This achieves proper internal temperature more quickly, thus being more effective in killing blood borne pathogens and other diseases.
There’s a reason why, in states where tattooing is highly regulated, that the law states all tattoo shops must have a working autoclave in their places of business. Its been scientifically proven that the autoclave is superior to a pressure cooker in killing things like HIV and AIDS.
Just save up and get the autoclave.
