hello everyone. i just got a pressure cooker. ive never used one before and this is a small cheap-o one i got online. it has no gauge for the pressure(psi'')! what do i do? the manual says nothing about pressure either. how long do you guys think i should keep them in the pressure cooker. is 15-30min good even though i could possibly be less then 15psi? alas what a poor desighn. what do you guys think?
oh yeah here is a link for the pc i got.

Take a look at this and see if you can find a Manual from the Manufacturer online. Good luck.

Leave the weight off for the first ten minutes after it starts to shoot steam out. Then, put the weight on and when it begins to rattle, turn the heat down so a bit of steam escapes, but the weight very rarely rattles. Since you don't know the pressure, better let it go for a full hour once it's up to pressure for 1/2 pint jars. RR

Any update on this as I was thinking about getting this one?
If the PSI is lower does it mean you just have to keep it in longer?

It has to be at 15 PSI for the full 60 minutes. Otherwise it won't get hot enough and won't sterilize.
