I loaded up my brand new pc, the first time with 10 jars and 2 cracked, next with 7 jars and 2 cracked again. There is plenty of water left over. Are they rattling around? Help!!!

Do you have them raised off the bottom of the pot?
Did the PC come with a trivot or tray of some kind?

That's definetly strange, how are you loading them in there? All side by side, or are you stacking some? Also, what brand jars did you buy? I've seen some thin cheap looking jars before that I can see cracking easily.

Do you put the jars in the water before or after you turn on the heat?

chances are you got a defective case of jars, and all off them will probably break before too long.

Maybe some of the jars are bad because some jars just stuck to the bottom and completely broke off and others just cracked. Why are they doing this???

What brand of jars are you using and where is the water level at with your jars in?

i use the same size but i use quart....are you letting the pressure out yourself or do you let it drain on its own? because that could be your problem.

Load jars into PC on the canning rack. Add cold water. Put the lid on and leave the rocking weight off. Turn heat on high until steam comes out of the hole. Put the rocking weight back on. Reduce heat when it starts to jiggle or gauge reads 15PSI (if it has one). Start timer for 90 minutes. Control the heat to find the sweet spot to keep the rocker jiggling, so you don't run out of water. Let it cool on it's own overnight.
