Maybe I'm just dumb

So I got my rye berry jars loaded into my PC, which I've never used until now. And it leaks? It was a pretty cheap one, but there is a weight, safety valve and a little black seal. Its the little black seal that is leaking. There's water spurting out of it, and I'm under the impression the weight is supposed to move around rather than this little seal spurt water. It seems like its supposed to be another safety feature. I don't know anything about pc'ing, so if anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Did you thoroughly read the instructions with the pc? It's leaking at the seal under the lid? Is it on properly?

mine leaks like crazy till it builds up pressure then suddenly it stops.
you should prolly do a test run or two with only water in your pc to see how it works
and read all the instructions like azur said. if you still cant figure it out try google or the manufacturer hotline.

True. I had an old one that leaked until it built up pressure. Test run is a good idea

I don't have any instructions for it, i'll have to look them up. And everything seemed to be in place. Its leaking from the smaller black 'dot' that is closest to the camera in the picture I have above. I would have looked up the instructions on the PC already, but its still hot and I don't want to burn myself ya know?
And I will indeed do a test run now that I realize it was dumb not to in the first place!

That black dot is a safety release. It will blow if pressure gets too high. Is the pc new? If it's used, you may need to replace that black dot. If not, maybe it just leaks from there until pressure builds up. Did you get it to 15psi? If not, try to and see if it stops leaking

It is new as in that its never been used, but is hasbeen sitting out for awhile. I havent had any luck finding the manual. My tablet froze and i'm using my phone, which is harder to navigate. I'll start my test run now and post again a little bit later.

My test run last night went fine. I have no idea why it was leaking the first time. The only leaking was under the weight, which was just the steam coming out, so I guess I'll do another test run later today and see how it goes. Hopefully I'll have a log started by tonight or tomorrow!

I have a new Presto and the black safety release will leak slightly until it pressures up. Sometimes if you gently tap it it will stop but it will eventually stop anyways after it heats up and expands a little. Like others posted.

I had the exact same PC until I bent the safety release. Check your rubber lining and screw fixtures, I had leakage when I wouldn't check these things.

Speaking of, sorry to bomb your post op, but, I burned the shit out of my millet last night on the first run with the AA. WTF do I do. I've tried to find the solution to the issue, but as far as I know I'm doing everything right. MAYBE I'M JUST DUMB.

Fuck this pressure cooker. There was steam coming from the underside of the lid by the handle. I'm not messing with this cheap pos. I'm not trying to get blown up. I'm legitimately scared of this thing. So yeah, I am dumb.

Na. Use that shit until you can buy an aa. All the cheap ones leak. It won't blow up on you.

Listen to azur, I have the exact same make and model and it leaks till it reaches 10psi, run it to the ground and keep going, I cannot wait to buy one of my own, every mycologist should.
