Does your presto show 15psi straight out of the box?
Mine is a 16qt but that shouldn't matter. Either the gauge is off or the weight is off or both Here is a pic with a quarter and a dime taped to the weight and its rocking at this psi.

Mine is a Presto 23Q...but NO...my gauge read "0"...and does read "0" until heat is applied and pressure builds...I think you have a bad gauge.

Why the hell aren't picks working right?
The pic above is a touch below 15 psi and rocking.

It's fine 
I usually keep it on high until it's a little over 15 psi and then let it drop when I put it on medium/high.

I have a presto too but mine never goes above 15 psi while i'm cooking. it actually stays at about 14.

Mine gets to like 14.5 on high heat lol, and the rocker is shaking like crazy at this point. I give it a minute or two, then turn it back to medium heat(usually hovers around 13psi), Then I start my timer and turn it off 90 minutes later and move the PC to a different rack on the stove and let it cool down completely.

with one quarter taped to the weight on a presto like that it should go to 16 and rock, and if you can dial it down to hold 15 it will be very quiet but still leaking a little bit of steam. without a quarter it will rock at 15 and if you dial it back so it holds 14 it will be pretty quiet.

I have a presto 16q that doesn't build up any pressure, I believe the aluminum is warped, anyways the psi gauge works fine. I'm trying to scrap it for parts, I'd love to make a trade

My bad...OP I thought you meant it read 15psi before you even applied heat, sorry for the misunderstanding... Mine hovers right under the 15psi mark, I just add a little time to my sterilization just to be safe.
