So- Ive seen lots of CIA, modified CIA, methods. Cooking the K,C,and S together; precip with cold alcohol; but right now you cant get isopropyl for love or money. Ive been wondering.. what do you think about putting the K,C,and S with miinimal water in SS pressure cooker till it gets to 15psi and most of the air is gone, then hitting the pressure cooker with a stream of very cold water. It cools very quickly, even creates a little vacuum. My question is - would the mix deflagrate in the pressure cooker? Scared I might be making a bomb. Or leave the top off, get it boiling, take off heat, seal the top , and immediately hit it with cold water? What do you think? That would keep the cold water off of the mix as it is rapidly cooled.
