first time using PC
    #21813100 - 06/16/15 12:12 AM (8 years, 7 months ago)

I have my jars in the PC at 15 PSI.  It is hissing with a little steam coming out of the top.  There is some rocking.  Is this how it should be?  I've never used one before, and the videos posted don't have instructions for using a PC.

Thank you!

As long as it's rocking steady at 15 PSI you're good.

Sounds good but you need to specify the manufacturer/model of your pc.

Try searching Youtube you'll probably see a video of your specific pc working at proper psi.

if there is more steam, does that mean it needs to be higher?

I'm not sure what "more steam" means but with excessive steam you either have a leak or the pc is venting due to too high psi.

Depending on the make/model of your pc the amount of steam escaping will vary but ime it's always pretty minimal.

Its pretty minimal near that rocker.  I lowered it.  It is a brand new mirro.  This is my first time ever using it.  I have it on a gas stove on simmer low because it was venting much more.  The seals seem pretty tight.  The steam is only coming through the valve release on top.
