You can simply boil karo and water. No need to use the PC. You'll note that the bottle of karo on your kitchen shelf doesn't ever get contamination, even though you open it in unsterile conditions. RR

It's pasteurized to kill anaerobic microorganisms. Also it's too acidic and it's surface tension is too high. This prevents aerobic microorganisms from growing. RR is probably right about getting away with it. I'd still PC it though, you never know what's in your water.

You aren't PCing properly or your PC is malfunctioning.
What kind of PC do you have?

Those are pre-set aren't they? Is their any type of manipulation you have to do to get it in 'pressure cooker' mode? Does it have a weight you are supposed to put on it? Did you read your manual?

No that should be fine. Their are better ways to make LC jars but that shouldn't have much to do with your probelem.
You say that you do 2 jars at a time and 1 jar is always losing water and the other isn't?
If that is the case, then it has to have something to do with your jars.
Even with the lid off you shouldn't really lose much water when PCing. IF the PC is functioning properly. You didn't run your PC out of water did you?
I don't want to treat you too nooby here, but you did make sure that their was an inch of water on the bottom of the PC before you loaded the jars in right?

don't blame your PC if you lose water in your jars. 
you should be tightly covering the top with a piece of foil so that the water that's in there stays there, no more, no less. if the content changed, the foil wasn't wrapped tightly enough.
also, make sure to turn off the heat to your PC and give it plenty of time to cool and naturally release pressure. if you let the pressure out, the temperature rapidly drops, and the water in your jars will rapidly boil and steam away with it.
i agree fully that boiling LC jars is sufficient too. dozens of steamed LC's later and i'm still waiting to see what a contaminated LC looks like.
