Hey guys i finally got it and its way bigger the mmy last one so i love it ..but those damn directions before use shit is way confusing...do i really gotta do all that stuff? or is that just for cooking food? it said to use vegy oil to pube shit up and what not.i understand doing that so it doesnt grind when putting top on....but anyways i washed it and stuff and put all the things on it..btw is the weight supposed to just rest on the pin thing??OH and when i put the gauge on i tightened it a lil is that ok or keep it semi loose?Well what do ya guys think  PINT JAR FOR SIZE COMPARISON

If towels have worked for you in the past, then keep using them. I have never used my rack. I stick with the towels.. But, I'm sure it would work as it should.

I think the rack is so you can pull all your stuff out or put it all in at once.

The rack is so the jars don't come into contact with the extreme heat on the bottom of the PC. It takes the place of the towel, which is just a ghetto rack.
If you try to pull all your stuff out at once, you will probably end up with a broken jar or two, lol.

That keeps your jars from breaking from direct heat supposedly. I have busted jars with the rack, but never with old folded towls on the bottom.

the veg oil is prolly to ceate a seal in the lid. with the all american pressure cookers we use petrolium gelly to create the seal. the pressure regulator weight rests on a pin so it can release the propper amount of steam. as for the rack. i always use the racks. they come free, it's not like you have to buy 'em.

never remove it. it is there for your protection. it blows off if the steam valve is pluged and too much pressure builds. usually only happens if food clogs the vent valve.

no it's best to place the pressure weight on before. helps build steam.

what i do is lube up the seal. place the pot on to boil, place the jars in while the pot is warming up, place the lid on and then secure it, and drop the weight on. wait for the first loud hiss sound and then turn the heat down to low to keep the pressure stable.
