Presto Lid Stuck!!
    #23365172 - 06/20/16 09:45 PM (7 years, 7 months ago)

FF sake! I steri`d 10 1L jars in my brand new Presto 23 quart. 7 jars up, 3 laying on their side- on a rack. The Goddamn lid is stuck! I can`t twist it far enough to remove it!The sterilization finished at 6pm and it is now 11:35pm and the PC seems cool. I will leave it overnight to see if that helps, but I have a bad feeling that a jar is in the way of the Air Vent/Cover Lock. Sigh.

It's fully depressurized? Try gentle shake?

I'm pretty sure I've seen a few people on here say that you can only lay 2 qts across on the top in a presto 23qt. A 3rd one will block  the lid release or something. That could have been an issue with a mirro 22qt tho.

The lids sometimes get stuck if you have hard water. Get a freind a twist it hard as you both can.

Must be the mirro then. Or just user error that I've read about. :shrug:

*edit*
Seems like its the mirro that can only do 2 laying across the top:

I put vasaline along the top of the rubber ring.  Works great

Definitely lube that shit up.  Hard water = lots of dissolved minerals.  Those accumulate fast, although a slosh of vinegar in the water helps keep em dissolved

I use 10 qts in my Presto 23 all the time, no problem.

If you can turn the lid but it gets hung on the drop valve, try lifting the drop valve before it gets hung up. In the futire, line up your jars so it can't get hung up.

If you can't even turn the lid, heat it back up and turn it while still warm but not pressurized.

beautiful advice. i have 2 presto 23qt PC's and i have that problem here and there when i run 10 jars(drop valve getting stuck). i usually just shake lightly till i get it loose lol. but lifting the valve manually makes way more sense -__-

as for the whole lid getting stuck.. havent run into that one. hope youve gotten it off by now though! if not, id say the above advice about heating slightly is a good bet. at least it cant hurt, and hopefully theres still water in there so youre not dry running it at all...
