$100 Presto 23 qt canning style pressure cooker, electric heating

Do it in your backyard and have a straw broom handy to detect hydrogen
fires.
Be careful.. 400C is getting close to 660C aluminum melting point. I'm
also not sure the gasket in the pressure cooker can take that
temperature.. you might want to replace it with something else.

Now, if it's the 1000C+ that Magnus mentioned, that's a bit trickier..
Probably need a ceramic container.
