PC jar exploding (urgent)
    #14431375 - 05/10/11 07:08 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Just put 8 1/2 pints in my Electric Cuisinart pressure cooker, however I did not loosen the jar lids. Are they going to explode or am I good? I covered each with foil as per the tek, and each one has 4 holes in the lid.

LOL how would they explode with 4 holes in the lid? Even if they had no holes they wouldn't explode, maybe if you were PCing vinegar and baking soda:facepalm3:

Yeah they won't explode, but mine had a vacuum in them when I tightened the lids all the way and PC'ed them. When I poked the first inoculation hole the plunger was getting sucked in.

If you are using an electric one it is much easier because they have all the settings on a knob, no need to find out what temp the stove needs to be set on at certain times of the PCing process.

I start my PC on high till it starts boiling, lock lid on, wait for steam to start erupting from the shaker hole and then place the weight on the shaker hole. I then turn it down to a notch below high and wait for the weight to give it's first shake and then turn it down to med-med/low and listen to the shaker. It should shake non violently every 30 seconds to few minutes, that way it still has the correct pressure and you don't over cook or boil it dry and ruin the bottom of your PC.

Try not to forget what a pressure cooker was made for and that is canning thing under vaccumn even if screwed your lids tight the only way they would explode is running the PC dry or taking the lid off hot causing a huge temp change

those jars dont sound like they will get any gas exchange, are you using self healing injection ports?

substrate jars shouldnt have any vacum due to gas exchange holes with a filter.

Sounds like a sterile water jar, It still needs a GE hole in lid. Unless you are canning tomato juice then you want that vacuum seal.:getstoned:
