Read the manual its 3 quarts

Water doesn't get in jars unless you did something wrong.

Yes. That's what I'm saying. Sometimes you have to raise or lover the trivet. Honestly with agar I use like 1.5-2 quarts since its only in there 20m or so

water may go half way up the sides of any jar or vessel, but at least half of any jar or vessel needs to be in contact with the steam.

I put 12 cups in I get 10+ back out after a 120m run you shouldn't loose much anyway.

it's for thermal mass, if you only have a little bit of water it cools down too quick, especially if you're sterilizing agar.

You do get to pressure quicker using less water sure but then you also should increase your ventilation time before adding the weight so its moot

With 3 quarts of water in a presto 23q. The water is half way up the first layer of quart jars.

It shouldn't take more than 15-20m to hit pressure on a modest stove

If you're cutting corners or trying to shave time off the PC aspect of cultivation you're probably a retard

Even if water splashes up if you made your lids right and cover with foil you're not getting water in your jars.
