another pressure cooker question

today afoaf sterilized 10 1/2 pint jars.....
he has a 8 Qt Rochedo by Maitre pressure cooker that has no adjustment for PSI. It says it cooks at 12psi only, no option to increase this to 15. Does this mean he should have PCed for a more than an hour?
Also, it took 35 minutes for the PC to begin emitting steam even though he had it set at medium high - seemed a bit long. After this, he noted that steam was plentiful but the rocker weight never rattled. Still, he decided to turn the heat on low and then PC for 60 minutes instead of PCing too long on too much heat.
Is there any cause for concern, or is my friend just a paranoid newb?!

Isn't the rocker supposed to be rattling steadily as indication of 12 psi? If it wasn't rocking you were prob under the what you thought, but you _should_ be ok, as long as steam was coming out the exhaust thingy...
have you read the PC FAQ, maybe there is something there that would help you...

If there was steam for an hour, the water bath was at least at 212F, which will do the job in about 60 minutes with BRF. You should be fine.
