Pressure Cooker question

Can you use a pressure cooker without a temperature guage? If I can what precautions should I take to make sure I don't overheat my jars?
thanks for any help.

I think that could be very dangerous.
What kind of PC you have.

A temperature gauge? I think maybe you mean a pressure gauge. I have never seen a PC with a temperature guage but that would be really cool. If you use your pressure cooker as recommended I?m sure there is nothing to worry about. I doubt you could get it so hot as to destroy your jars. georgem

yes, one of those, do I need one? I don't mind watching it while its on the stove if it will save me $25, I will probably get a nicer one eventually but I was just wondering if it would work.

I thought I saw something about them on here, but I don't remember what they said regarding using it without the temperature guage.

George,
Agar showed you the picture of a pressure cooker gauge for a reason.
Please note that there are temp settings on the gauge.
5 psi = 228 degrees F.
10 psi = 240 degrees F.
15 psi = 250 degrees F.
