Jars cracking in PC
    #25365289 - 08/03/18 08:50 PM (5 years, 5 months ago)

First time PC'ing with glass pieces inside of jars (for LC).

I have a trivet, the cycles are ~25min@15PSI, and I get keep getting the same type of cracking (the bottoms of the jars separate).

Any clues?

Are you using the metal plate in the bottom of the pc? I get cracked jars if i don't use that. Also are you putting thejars into the pc with hot water already in the pot?

Yep, using the metal plate.

First time, the water in the PC was room temp. I microwaved the jars with room temp water in them to warm up for dissolving LME, the second time I boiled the water and added that to the room temp jar and PC'd the jar in warm PC water.

I've made LC before - but never with glass pieces in the jar.

Jars were warm - handled with bare hands (the first time).

The second time, the jars had boiling water in them - but the PC water was hot as well.

Adding boiling water to room temp jars would likely cause them to break as well, or at least cause cracks that would be busted by the pc cycle.  Also, LME will dissolve on its own as you pc it.

I'll give it another go and report findings.

I'm barefoot carrying this jar and the bottom drops out. Happy to see my reflexes are alive and well, sad to see jars break. Thanks for the replies:sun:

Issue seems resolved - no breakage this time. Will continue to just let LME semi-dissolve in room temp water.
