All american questions?
    #7828704 - 01/03/08 06:33 PM (16 years, 29 days ago)

I am headed to the All American football training camp and was wondering.....

Just kidding.

Someone please tell me why lining up the arrows on teh lid and body of an all american pc is important?

also, do any of you use vaseline on the rim, the pc that is,? Does it help?

I believe it's because the lid is cut from the pot at that specific spot. So even though the lid and pot look perfectl round, it will seal the best at if they're attached at the arrows. For example, if the pot and top were both slightly oval (unnoticeable to the naked eye) but exactly the same ovals, it wouldn't matter as long as they we're clamped together as the same exact shape. If they were clamped together 90 degrees off it may not seal properly and you'll get steam leaking out and will likely warp both the pot and the top.

As for the vaseline, yes, you should have a thin layer on the sealing surface every time you bring the pressure cooker up to pressure. It's cheap and quick so just keep a tub near your pc so you don't forget. If you put a good layer on, it's usually sufficient to last two or three uses. Also, give a quick feel around the sealing surface before each use to make sure there's no dirt or sand that can get imbedded in the sealing surface.

In short, most AA pc's are over $100 so treat it like a $100 piece of equipment and give it proper maintenance. It doesn't take long and will definitley help alleviate headaches down the line.
