Anyone Sanitizes their LECA for reuse with a Pressure Cooker

Hey guys! The title basically sums it up! Anyone successfully and confidentially use their pressure cooker to sanitize their LECA for reuse?? Are you pretty confident at reusing even LECA from sick plants with this method? What time and settings/psi do you use (settings if on a new version)??

Also, do you put the leca inside of something to Pressure cook it?? If this is a silly question I apologize! I have just been given my first, brand new pressure cooker and am working through the owners manual but It's my repotting weekend and I would love to get some LECA sanitized and google is just delivering the answers and details I need!
