6. Place the complete 3-piece pressure regulator on the vent pipe. Using a
high setting, heat the canner until the pressure regulator begins to rock.
Adjust the heat as necessary to maintain a slow, steady rocking motion. To
watch a video of this motion, visit www.GoPresto.com/ppc/rocking.
If the pressure regulator is allowed to rock vigorously, excess steam will
escape. Therefore, too much liquid will evaporate and food may scorch.
Never leave your pressure canner unattended at high heat settings.
It
could boil dry and overheat excessively, causing possible warping.
7. The cooking time begins when the pressure regulator begins to rock
gently. Cook for the length of time specified in the recipe or cooking chart.
When the cooking time is complete, turn off the burner and remove the
canner from the heat source.
NOTICE:
Lift the pressure canner to remove it from the burner. Sliding
any cookware can leave scratches.
8. Reduce the pressure according to the recipe. If the recipe states “let
pressure drop of its own accord,” set the canner aside to cool until the
pressure is completely reduced.
If the recipe states “cool canner at once,” cool the pressure canner under a
running water faucet or pour cold water over it.
NOTICE:
Do not set a hot canner directly on the bottom of a molded sink;
this could damage the sink. Instead, place it on a cooling rack in the sink.
The pressure is completely reduced when the air vent/cover lock has
dropped. If the air vent/cover lock remains in its raised position, there is
still pressure inside the canner. Continue to cool the canner until the air
vent/cover lock has dropped.
After the pressure has been completely reduced, remove the regulator.
Always remove the regulator before opening the cover.
9. To open the cover, turn it counterclockwise until the
V
mark on the body
handle aligns with the inverted
V
mark on the cover. Then, lift the cover
toward you to keep any steam away from you.
CAUTION!
If the cover seems to stick or is hard to turn, there may still be
some pressure in the canner. Do not force the cover off. Continue cooling
until the air vent/cover lock has dropped and the cover turns easily.
10. Remove food and serve. Let the canner cool completely before cleaning.
