AA921 question
#17332686 - 12/04/12 01:09 PM (12 years, 1 month ago) |

One of my AA921 PCs seems to have two settings when in use- hissing for 30 seconds at a time every minute or so, and giving a dull hiss from the weight without actually jiggling for minutes at a time. Anyone else have this happen with their AA921? Is it a problem or is it normal? My other one behaves like I would expect. I make sure to lube the seal and nuts, etc. This has been going on for a couple years, since I got the damn thing

As long as there is steam escaping the entire time, it doesn't matter what it sounds like. It's all good.

I don't have that model, but I do have a weighted PC and I can't for the life of me get it to 'gently rock'. I have spent half an hour fine tuning my burner flame and sometimes, I can get it to 'jiggle gently' for 10 seconds or so (before pressure builds up too high and it just vents) every minute.. But that's about it. Mine's a 22qt Mirro.
This has me kinda worried because according to the shipping websites, all my shit should be here today, which means, I'll be starting today.
Lulz.. Right as I typed that, knock on my door, with my spores and gypsum. Time to start..

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way.
I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.

Your mirro will be different than my AA. You will probably never get that to "gently rock." I went through many cheap PCs and they are loud as hell, and need to jiggle constantly if memory serves.

I got my hygrometers, innoc loop, and bags today. Yaaaaay!
The weight makes the pressure build up until there is enough to lift the weight. If the pressure is too low, the weight will keep it sealed and no steam will escape. If there is steam escaping, whether it's a hiss or the weight is rocking, it means that the PC has reached 15PSI and the excess pressure is escaping. So, as long as there is steam escaping, it's all good. Once it locks up and the weight starts rocking, I turn the flame down until it's just barely hissing. It's not a big deal with my big PC, bit with my little PC, if I didn't turn it down, all of the water would evaporate before the 90 minutes was up.

Good to know..
And yeah I wasn't going for a top quality one, but I've seen videos on youtube of the Mirro one I have rocking.... I dunno how they got it to do it though <_< I sure as hell can't.. Well I can but I can't sustain it. Maybe I just need more practice, but will act like it's SUPPOSED to for like 10 seconds, then it vents. This is different than 'normal' in that most other times it will go straight from still to venting, there is no 'rocking' in between.
Since I'm basically going to have to just 'overcook' these things (to keep a steady PSI) should I add more water? Maybe double what it calls for?

I just add enough water to come up over the trivet, and I've never had it dry out, even when I cook for two hours.

Seems fine. You can also run it at 14psi and almost never hear it rock or hiss.

^^This. It also helps you not run out of water during longer PC cycles.
But, yea FH, that's normal & fine. The toggle weight on my AA barely rocks during a 120 minute PC cycle. It just sits there & hisses away at my dog.
