Basic PCing 101 After steam starts venting allow it to vent for several minutes, 5 min. is more than enough. Reason for this is there are dry pockets that need to be vented out reason for that is wet sterilization is much more effective than dry sterilization. After venting place weight on and let pressure build as usual or with other models close vent allow pressure to reach 15psi and adjust heat to keep it at 15psi(all models).

For that model, put in on the stove (high heat) with the weight on. Steam will come out from the sides of the circular metal valve. It should "pop" up by itself, but if not just help it out a bit. Once its up, pressure will start to build. When it gets to 15 psi, lower the stove to low and make sure it stabilizes. Then check it every once in a while

Same one i got... got 2 of em.
Walmart Superstore... Could have saved on shipping.
I am sooo glad you got that instead of having that jerry rigged thing you had before. You'll get to notice the many benefits of having actually pc'd something!!
take some vegeatable oil and rub it on the black seal, and you'll bee good ta go for a while,
also i poped out the little black rubber piece and oiled that up also, after time i noticed a little bit of pressure comming out of it, fine now. ENJOY!

yea, i don't vent.... think i should?
i just use the noise from hitting 15psi to alert me to turn the temp down.... while it's gaining pressure i do other things.
i'll haffta try it the other way...
** a bit off topic, but i just got done pc'n some jars, and while shaking one pressure built up inside the jar and broke
the hot grain, and steam burnt my hand through the ove glove. I Should have let it cool down a bit longer.... GAAH!

Basic PCing 101: Pretend you know what your doing even if you don't. Venting eliminates dry air pockets and makes your time PCing considerably more effective. Remember timing starts AFTER you reach 15psi as HippieChick has reiterated. oatman let cool until you can comfortably hold the jars, thats the way we do it. GL
