Nate has an awesome thread on running bags in a presto:

Take a gander at that.

Ok, so I put the recommended 3 quarts in and vent for 15. I don't use my presto for bags anymore but when I did, I didn't use weights on top of the jiggle weight, I actually taped it down. That part isn't necessary its just my own thing. As you can see I have it covered with a media bottle lid and then taped it down.
Not necessary by any means, its just what I do.

I ran the presto for 3.5 hours, its my 75x that I run for 4. After the 3.5 hours in my presto there was always water left over in the bottom of the pc.
Definitely vent for at least 10, 15 is my own preference. The extra 5 min vent doesn't significantly reduce the volume of water in the pot.

Use to have a pesto but ive ran it dry so super dont wanna do that , the bags take up so much space in the bottom its easy to fill it up high without much water
Its been awhile but i think im using the 30qt all American so I dont think that trick will work too much , but as soon as I can im looking into getting one of the electric sterilizers
I take it you do that for the extra PSI not the noise?
If you run it at like 20 psi for 3.5 I should probably do like 4 at 15 psi

I honestly don't like the presto at all and was super happy to stop using it when the 75x came in. I taped it down for the noise.
I run the 75x at between 17 and 20 psi for 4 hours, its probably not necessary but I like to go overboard when it comes to bacteria, plus an extra half hour is not a big deal for me, I walk away from the thing while its running anyways.

Yeah ill be running mine for four hours as well also then hopefully that plus venting for 10 minutes instead of 3 will make a big difference
