Presto PC running out of water
    #28029743 - 11/02/22 05:01 PM (2 years, 2 months ago)

So I lost pressure in a nsns tech 6 mins from finish.  Turns out I ran out of water.  I think my issue was not turning down the heat soon enough in the process. I saw something on here about putting a quarter on the weight to reduce knocking and let out less steam, is there a trusted tech for this?  I tried to turn the heat down as much as possible but could see the pressure start to drop so didn't want to turn it down too far.  This was probably like 45 mins in or so though.  Any ideas where I went wrong and how to not run out of agua in the future??

Thanks much appreciated !!

Presto recommends 3.5quarts of water. Once desired pressure is achieved turn down stove to lowest temp that will maintain pressure. The cool kids tape 50cents to the top of the rocker, you can start with 25 cents if your yellow. Id do this to run above 15psi and because Im at high elevation

If u need more room to add water, i recommend getting a stainless steel Dim Sum Steamer Rack.

Thanks for the replies.  I did add a touch more than 3 quarts, wouldn't say it was at 3.5 though.

Follow your pressure cooker manual. If your running out of water and you’re putting in the recommended amount, it could mean you have leak or your gasket doesn’t have a tight seal. It’s a guessing game the first time you try and reach 15 PSI, you want to bring pressure on slowly and reduce it by slowly turning down your oven knob. What I do with my presto is I put it on high to let the water boil and pressurize faster, then as soon as I put the rocker I lower the heat gradually until PSI gauge stabilizes. After the first time it should be easy from than on out as you now know what number dial to go on your stove to reach acquired PSI

The original weight is designed to let steam escape at the 15psi. If you take some aluminum foil and wrap 2 quarters to the top of the weight, now it weighs more. Maybe it starts letting air out at 17 psi or 18 psi instead of 15. Once it gets to 15psi normally, and you hear that hiss hiss hiss noise, every time you hear that noise its letting a little water out of the PC. Your goal in the aluminum foil and quarters trick is so you can bring it to 15psi and it only makes a tiny hiss every so often. At that point its letting out almost no water per hiss and the water lasts much longer.
