lids loose or tight when PCing- urgent
    #21410967 - 03/15/15 11:11 AM (9 years, 2 months ago)

I'm about to pc some quart grain jars and lc.

The grain jar lids have a GE 5/16" hole covered by a filter disc rtv'd to the top

the LC lid just as a 13mm syringe filter for GE


Do I need to leave the lids loose while pressure cooking or can I tighten them?

Doesn't matter, just don't put them on so tight that you can't get them off later.

In my experience it doesn't matter.  But +1 on greencrush, if you make them too tight, they will be a bitch to get off.  So, in short, snug.

Don't crank them down but tighten them enough they aren't rattling around.

I always tightened it down with no issues using synthetic filter discs...I did read that LOAF leaves his loose until after because of staining from grain cooking or something like that...

i stopped using plastic lids.
they never did me wrong that i know of, but i just am suspicious of them :shrug:
if u see pics where i have plastic lids, its old ones.
its not really the plastic itself, its the RTV/silicone.
i trust plastic lid with hole and whole SFD underneath it more than i trust plastic lids with cut up SFD silicone/RTV on top.
regardless, i just use metal now.
to each their own though.
