Materials and Quality of Production of the Autoclave 'CHE-16'
The gas autoclave 'CHE-16' is made from black steel - a strong and also budget material that allows for inexpensive and durable preservation units. For additional thermal resistance, a protective powder coating is applied to the tank walls. It is equipped with components and locking devices from verified brands: AquaWorld, ITAP, Watts.
UTEHO products are made using the TIG method - an innovative welding technology that ensures high quality of seams and complete tightness. Welding requires special equipment and the use of quality materials, providing reliability and strength to the finished product.
Pressure Testing of the Autoclave 'CHE-16'
The gas device for preservation from UTEHO must undergo two stages of pressure testing:
- The first test is carried out immediately after welding the tank to check for joint tightness. The pressure is raised to 3 atm in the autoclave.

- The second stage of testing is conducted after the assembly of the finished design. After tightly closing the lid and installing all components inside, the pressure is raised to 6 atm. Such conditions are maintained for 24 hours, ensuring that all elements are tightly sealed and functioning properly.
Thanks to double pressure testing of the units, the manufacturer guarantees the absence of defects and high product quality.
What Can Be Prepared in the Autoclave 'CHE-16'?

By autoclaving, preserves from various ingredients can be prepared. Thermal processing occurs at temperatures above 100 ℃ and high pressure, allowing the destruction of harmful microorganisms while preserving nutrients.
By purchasing the gas autoclave 'CHE-16', you can prepare:
- stewed meat;
- fish preserves;
- vegetable mixes with marinades;
- dishes with mushrooms;
- green peas;
- canned corn;
- jams;
- pâtés and much more.
Before autoclaving, prepare the containers and ingredients. Cooking modes and holding times may vary depending on the products and the container size. For example, for jam preparation, jars need to be held for 10-15 minutes at 90 degrees; for goulash, 30-40 minutes at 115 degrees; for pickled tomatoes, 20 minutes at 90 ℃.
Jars and lids do not need to be sterilized separately - the entire process occurs in the autoclave while simultaneously preparing the products. Follow the operation instruction of the device and the recipes' selected modes to destroy bacteria and preserve the maximum beneficial components. The finished preserves can be removed only after cooling the jars.

In the market, self-made devices made from gas cylinders can also be found. Using such constructions is dangerous - they lack quality certificates, and in case of failure, they can lead to accidents.
It is better to buy a factory autoclave from UTEHO, which has passed tests and meets regulatory standards. There is also a large stock of spare parts available, which will extend the device's service life.
Reviews of the Autoclave 'CHE-16'
Olena K.
I have been using it for a few months now, so I decided to share my impressions. The tank itself is very high quality, with no defects or damage; the lid closes tightly and does not let air in. It is very easy to understand how it works, as everything is described in detail in the instructions. It is a bit heavy, so assistance may be needed to lift it. I read that rust could appear on the bottom, but I don’t think that’s critical, especially for this price. I have already made porridge with meat, canned cucumbers, and soon will make jams and compotes. An indispensable item in everyday life.

I ordered the 'CHE-16' autoclave for preservation on gas. The product arrived well-packaged, with no damage; all components and the instruction are in place. The tank fits perfectly on the gas stove; I have already sealed 6 jars of stew following the original recipe included. It turned out delicious and fast. Thank you for such a quality and useful device.

The autoclave arrived with a cracked thermometer; this is probably an issue with the courier. I immediately contacted technical support - they replaced it without questions and didn't even charge for delivery. Thank you for the quality service.
