Cracking jars.
    #7887146 - 01/16/08 03:04 AM (16 years, 16 days ago)

Has anyone had the problem with their jars cracking after pressurizing them? I'm not sure if it's something that happened immediately after taking them out of the pressure cooker or if some of them slowly cracked during the week afterwards? I didn't notice any cracks until now.

My 10 day old Mazatapec is starting to colonize btw. I'm excited! =D

My pressure cooker is electric and has this internal "tray" that goes inside. I set the jars on top of that.

they crack when you put cold jars into hot water.. you should be starting from cold water since your jars are probably cold to begin with.

They will also crack if you release pressure at the end of the cycle. You must simply shut off the power to the PC and allow it to cool slowly over a few hours. Never pop the weight or toggle valve to release steam.

I also read a tek somewhere that said to put the jars in the PC and then pour already boiling water over them into the PC. That tek is also a recipe for broken jars.

That makes sense.

Thanks very much.
