Pressure leaking out of gasket
    #22313614 - 09/30/15 11:50 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

More problems with pressure cooking...

1-2" water in pressure cooker, jars of grains in, gasket oiled, pressure cooker on 3/4ths gas heat on the smallest hob, let steam escape for a few minutes and stick on the 15lb pressure weight.

As far as I know, all of this is correct. However, now, instead of building up enough pressure to push the weight up and let the steam out the top - all of the steam is coming out of the gasket after a certain point.

Each time I noticed steam escaping from the gasket, I'd forcefully pull the weight up and let some steam escape, then repeat when the steam would inevitably start pouring out the gasket.

This time, I didn't have any issues with the pressure cooker drying up as I usually do, but I'm not sure if it reached optimum pressure for long enough to sterilize the grain. I knocked the grains up anyway and I'll see how it goes.


Should I just buy a new pressure cooker? I'm thinking this one might be damaged as it's been let to dry up too many times and even the metal at the bottom is quite warped. I've only had one successful batch so far, and I've tried this stuff maybe 6-7 times now?

If it's warped and shit then yeah that's probably part of the problem and I would buy a new one.

Stretch the gasket out so that it fits snug around the inside of the lid. Do this each time, just before putting the lid on the pc. When that is no longer effective, go to your local hardware store and to the canning section, they sell gaskets.
