Got the presto 23qt. The canning rack just falls flat on the bottom. Is that right?

Yup. Add to that 3 quarts of water (there is a line inside the PC to indicate water level) and you're ready to rock.

It floats with all the jars on top? Never used one. Not trying to die.

It's just a spacer to keep the jars from making direct contact with the bottom of the PC. Once the jars are placed on top, there should be no floating of the rack.

Read that. Good info.

So the bottoms of the jars will be sitting in the water on top of the rack that is damn near against the bottom of the pc?
Curious. Pf tek style we kept it out the water in the steam pot.

Thanks for the responses so quick. Pcs are pretty new to me. I've done a bunch of pf tek in the past and working with 22 jars at the moment. About to start these two tubs but was shocked when I opened the pc and the lid was flat on the bottom. Expected it to be like the steamer. Tons of great info on here. Time to make some lids

A few things of note. 1) If you're going to double stack, you'll want another rack to place between the layer of jars. 2) Trust the rocker and not the gauge, as the gauge is much more likely do be off by a few pounds.
3) If the rocker is doing this
lower the heat a little.

Yeah, my bad. You can't double stack quarts in the 23. Foil will work like a champ.

Mine don't fit in a triangle for some reason. I have tolay one going one way and the other 2 perpendicular to it, like the sign for Pi.
