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.

Porto's and Baby Bellas are the same mushroom. They are a bitch to grow. Find a "Foodie" restaurant and get them some Oysters.

Thanks for the advice guys, I like the look of oysters, I imagine it's a whole different ballpark than exotics. I want a few beds of bioluminescent mushrooms as well. I really want to branch off from exotics altogether, not stop just something new for a while.

I have a similar PC. Even cheaper as a matter of fact.
I think I over PC'd last time I used it and warped it cus now it leaks from the handle area. It still works tho. Just make sure you PC for a good amount of time like 90 minutes. And make sure there's enough water if it's leaking. Like 1 1/2"ish.

@ above. I didn't really mean mandatory like forced. But it would be interesting to see where our society would grow if psychedelics were more widely accepted and respected.
I was watching some videos on youtube from Terrance McKenna the other day and it just got me thinking about how psychedelics like shrooms and DMT are a connection to maybe a future society where love rules everything instead of money and selfishness.
I had a intense DMT trip last night where I connected with future humans/or maybe they were aliens, and I came out of just KNOWING these type of substances are a key to connecting to a higher dimensional evolution. Mushrooms and the like are not illegal because they are dangerous. They are illegal because the government knows this shit will unlock a higher consciousness and make people more aware of how fucked up this money, greed driven society is.
Anyways I'm rambling, cya !

Lumpy I started with bulk and is moving to PF cakes soon . I agree with a sort of mental evolution through psychedelics; thoughts, notions and feeling flow through me like I have never felt before when dosing. It was Mckenna who introduced me to this world of psychedelics and should be more accepted across the globe as a tool to get in touch with yourself and the rest of the universe, past and future, rather than thought of as this evil mind-controlling drug. Honestly I feel much better knowing a six year old can do it, I can't screw up too bad.

I like your sig too.  Low vibrational beings are the source of greed and hate. And I believe mushrooms, DMT and other psychedelics bring people to a higher vibrational consciousness where we tap into something greater than most peoples single minded view of reality. We are all one. And many people have a perception of reality that is very narrow minded and downright selfish. It seems like most people look for a reason to have differences/hatred towards one another, rather than accepting our differences and working together to open our minds and evolve. We are no doubt the product of a higher power (Call it god or whatever you will). But many humans are sucked into this greed-driven society we live in and forget that we are the offspring of a superior creator. And separate themselves by labels like Christian, Muslim, Buddhist etc. Not trying to preach but can't we all just hit a bong and get along?

Thread went off the rails.
I just went ahead and got the electric PC. Pretty good price and if anything goes wrong with it I can actually contact the maker, because they have their own site. The other one I have doesn't have a site I can go to. Pretty shady.

pahiki said: 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.

Before you PC rub some Olive Oil on the gasket. Then slowly build pressure. Once the pressure starts to vent steam out of the hole where the weight is suppose to go. Turn it up to temp and stick the weight on it. Presto's are really bad about their gaskets, need to be replaced every year or so. I have found that Olive oil helps them to bind.

Lol, I would suggest ANYONE(cooks, canning enthusiasts, etc.) who is having problems with their pressure cooker to consult the Shroomery for troubleshooting.

That cheap pressure cooker i posted in the pic wasn't even as good as a presto! It was made by some company by the name of Philippe Richards. They didn't even have their own site, which made it impossible to get the manual/instructions for it. When I did try to look up the manual, all I got was review sites saying how much their cookware from that company sucked 
As I said earlier though, I went out and got me an oster electric pressure cooker. If anything goes wrong with it, I can at least easily get help/replacement parts.

Well, here at the shroomery, everyone knows what you're doing with a PC, and uses them much more often than your average at home cook!
