CAUTION!
If the cover seems to stick or is hard to turn, do not force it
open. Sticking may indicate there is still pressure inside the canner.
If in doubt about the pressure being completely reduced, let the canner
stand until cool before removing the cover.
17. Remove the jars from the canner. Set the jars upright on a towel or cooling
rack, away from drafts. Allow the jars to cool naturally for 12 to 24 hours
before testing the seal. See the “After Processing” information on page 12.
Do not re-tighten the bands.
NOTICE:
When processing consecutive batches, be sure to check the
water level in the canner between batches. Add water, if necessary, to keep
the water at the 3-quart fill line (Fig. K, page 14).
18. When pressure canning is complete, allow the canner to cool completely
before cleaning it. For more information on canning, please visit
www.GoPresto.com/content/canning.
Canner Storage:
Store the canner in a dry place at temperatures above freezing
with the cover inverted on the body. Storing the canner with the cover locked
on may cause unpleasant odours and deform the sealing ring. The canner must
be completely dry before storing.
TROUBLESHOOTING
♦ Bubbles often appear in the jar after its removal from the canner because
the food is still boiling in the jar. Ordinarily, bubbles do not appear once the
product has been allowed to thoroughly cool.
♦ The loss of colour from beets during canning is usually due to the variety of
beets used. Two varieties that retain colour well are Ruby Queen and Detroit
Red. To reduce the bleeding of colour, precook the beets with the entire root
and 1 to 2 inches of the stem. Remove the stem and the root after precooking.
♦ Jar breakage during processing is caused by:
(1) packing the jars too solidly or overfilling them;
(2) using weakened, nicked, or chipped jars;
(3) allowing the jars to touch the bottom of canner;
(4) failing to tighten the screw bands according to the manufacturer’s
directions; or
(5) using jars other than Mason jars.
