My extension service said if I needed a weight over 10 pounds I had to go up to the next 5 pound weight. I think my weight for my elevation is 12 pounds.
Then yes, 15lbs would be what you need
So if you need to do 11lbs of pressure, you just do 15 instead with these weights? Doesn’t matter going higher?
@@MFaith777 Right!
@@lyndabuchholz1216 oh thank you, that part confused me. :)
@@MFaith777 How do I figure out the pounds I need? I am so confused, I have read so much and keep finding different answers
You rock......this just took away the anxiety and has made me less fearful as a newby, I'm less stressed and my confidence is restored.
And it's on a slow hula.
Thank you
Both regulators shown in this video are weighted regulators. The first is a non-adjustable, fixed, 15 pound regulator. The second is an adjustable regulator which can be used to maintain 5, 10, or 15 pounds of steam pressure.
Thank you for the info. Someone tried to convince me that because I got a 15 pound juggler I need to use only that with my pressure canner. I kept saying doesn’t make sense if you move to a different area you don’t buy a different canner you buy a different Jiggler.
I live very close to the ocean and I thought the pressure gage that came with the Presto would be fine. But in checking over recipes I found that the pressure needs to change. So I will buy the adjustable gage!
@@Susan.I I think you'll like it, Linda. Best wishes with your canning!
I've been having the worst time with pressure and gauge. I live over 2000 above sea level. Canned some beef broth yesterday and was to be done at 12 lb for 25 minutes. Glass stove with digital buttons so no in between temps, along with the 15 lb presto gauge. Husband sat there 25 minutes pushing buttons up and down to try to keep it at 12 or slightly over. All went well except 1 jar lid popped right off in during the depressurizing period. We refilled the jar to 1 in head space and tried again with new lid and ring.... popped off again! Finally replaced lid, ring and jar and he decided to let the pressure go to 15 lbs (that gauge does rock slightly at this stage). We finally were successful.
@@CCisRight Congratulations on your perseverance. I can see where a digital glass top can add a layer of complexity. You managed it well.
I've never had a lid blow off, so I can't offer a solution. However, I have had great success by turning the stove off at completion and not even moving it off the burner. It may take a bit longer for the pressure to come down, but the less those jars are disturbed, the better my results.
Thanks so much. This was making my head hurt. I held my phone close and you and I were in sync. So happy. Electric stoves are challenging.
I did not know that I could use my weighted gauge on my 23 quart!! That's wonderful. Thanks so much. I would much rather be able to listen and know by the sound than to watch the gauge like a hawk. You always have the best Videos and I love that if you don't know you research until you do. I can never thank you enough for the wealth of knowledge you share.
Thank you, thank you, I cannot thank you enough.....I am so new to all of this and I had mine rockin and a rollin and thank God never ran it dry. Now I know exactly how it should look and sound, so for me that is more precious than gold....so again from the bottom of my heart, thank you!
I absolutely love this weight set! Makes a long canning session so much easier. Once I figured out where my stove would be dialed in at 10lbs pressure with a steady rock of the weight, now I can just set my burner at 3.5 and almost never have to adjust. Thank you for sharing, everyone should get these! Take care!
I am ALL about that weighted one with rings. Changed my canning to an easy to keep the pressure steady.
Received the jiggler today so I practiced without any jars in the canner to find the sweet spot. Up until now I have been using the gauge and tired of sitting at the stove to baby sit it. Now I can clean up the kitchen and hear the jiggler. Thank you for your great and informative videos.
I often wondered why my Presto didn't have a gauge - now I know that I'm really not missing anything. The explanation on rocking helps a lot also.
You convinced me after my first canning experience to switch to the jiggler. I feel much more confident now with my pressure canner.
Leisa, this is the BEST video. I I learned more in the last 7 minutes than all my searching for information on the regulator. I have the standard which came with my canner. I am ordering the jiggler right now... Thanks from me and my hubby!
Where have u been all my life ... I'm so GRATEFUL YOU MADE THIS VIDEO.... From THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART
THANKKKKKKKKJKK
YOUUUUUUUUUU
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃
Thank u so much for this video. I have water bath canned always and never had a problem. This year I waterbath canned 18 quarts of green beans, and every single one has expired and did not sealed properly… I’ve always been very intimidated by using a pressure canner because my ex mother-in-law put the fear of God in me over pressure canners. My husband went out and bought me a pressure canner this week and I’ve been reading everything I can to try to understand exactly how to work one and all I had to do was watch your video. Thank you so much for explaining this I couldn’t understand why my pressure canner did not have a actual gauge to tell me where the pressure was. I didn’t understand the Weight thing, but she explained it beautifully. Thank you!!!!
Even though this is an older video this showed up in search at exactly the time I needed it. Evergreen content for the win.
I should have figured you'd have a video on this! I was flipping out because I bought a Presto pressure canner and it didn't have a gauge, and then I couldn't find one for this model. My mom had a pressure cooker when I was young, and it had this same "wobbler" only it was one piece and didn't come apart. She would put it on from the beginning and once it started moving was when she knew it was cooking. Hers those wobbled so much that would actually spin. Thank you SO SO much for teaching me yet another thing so that I can get going with this. {{{hugs}}}
This is one of the best weighted explanations i have seen or heard. Thank you so much!
I got my canner on 8/3/22. I'm still doing my homework! Just love this video and ordered my Jiggler, today. You are such a great source of information and an excellent presenter and educator! I canned once in my life in junior high in a home economics class. However, I don't remember much except for you BETTER follow directions!!!! Here's the kicker! As soon as you presented this jiggler thing, it was like "Oh, yeah I know that sound VERY WELL! Although my mother never canned food in jars she was constantly using the pressure cooker to cook our dinners! And your demonstration completely opened up long forgotten knowledge!!!!!! 👍 ❤ I hadn't heard that sound since I was a kid. So, so familiar sound! My mom would even say I'm going to leave the room for a couple minutes but if you hear that noise get real loud you tell me!!!! Only now I feel comfortable to use my canner! Good grief life is all about the simple things! You jogged my memory and I cannot thank you enough!! I know now and feel confident! Thank you!
I'm in Australia and got my Presto 23 qt from a supplier who is the distributor for Australia. It comes with the three piece regulator. I used it for the first time a couple days ago and it rocked like you've explained. Wasn't sure if it was supposed to do that. Thanks for explaining how it works.
Got a jiggler and it has changed my life! I don't have to constantly adjust the heat trying to find the sweetspot on the gauge. Just watch the jiggle. So much easier. Thank you.
I just got my new Presto Pressure Canner and Cooker with the weight regulator. I have been doing my research before trying it out. This video provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much.🙂
Thank you! I just bought a presto and had a hard time getting my RV propane stove to maintain 11 psi and now I just ordered a weighted gauge for it. Have a wonderful day
You can do it!
@@SuttonsDaze thank you. I don't give up easily, so I keep trying LOL I had a stroke 2 years ago and it has been a challenge learning to can with my affected arm but I keep going and don't let things beat me. We learn every time something fails and we can turn it into a win 😁 Thank you for all your wonderful and helpful videos 🙏 Have a blessed Sunday my dear!
Just got one of these. I’m testing it out on chicken bone broth. 25 mins…so I don’t run dry. lol Thanks for the tutorial! It’s intimidating running a canner with a new kind of weight & without being able to trust the gauge - like flying blind. So I really appreciate seeing it in action before trying it.👍
I want to thank you so much for this video. I'm new to pressure canning and I've been running myself ragged back and forth to the stove trying to regulate the pressure. Watched this video and ordered the weighted regulator. Used it for the 1st time tonight and once pressure was reached and temp set on stove.....and did not have to step back to the stove one time!!! It was so nice to be able to do other things in the kitchen and not have to constantly watch the pressure dial. I am so thankful I came across your channel.
Just saw this video and I’m so excited. I’ve always used a presto with a jiggler and my canning one has a 15 lb weight. I’m not a fan so using the dial since I have an electric stove, so imagine my joy when you showed this one you have! I’ve already ordered one so I can watch it do the little hula dance at 10 lb pressure!!!
I’ve been looking for this kind of information video after video and. I appreciate the time you have put in it, it was very very helpful ☺️
Me Too !!
Thank you, just got one today, this helped more than the written directions...lol
Life Simplified ...Thanks
Thank you. This is the clearest tutorial I have seen.:) Very helpful.
currently pressure canning for the first time as I type this and I found your video SUPER helpful. I will update with how things went as soon as i turn the heat off and wait for the canner to de-pressurize
This video is really useful for me, thanks! I’m in Scotland so we can’t get the dial gauge tested every year like you’re supposed to since canning is not a thing here! I bought the jiggler but I was worried coz my hob (I have induction hob and canner) only goes in increments of 20 and at 100c it stopped jiggling but at 120c I wasn’t sure if it was jiggling too much. I know you’re not supposed to look at the gauge when using the jiggler but at 120c it was sitting at around 11lb of pressure which I can see is the same on your gauge and it seems to be rocking about the same as well 😄 Thanks Lisa 🏴 🇺🇸
Thank God for you Leisa. I'm using my new 16 qt Presto canner for the first time with 10 pints of chicken. I was expecting the hula dance but now see that's not the deal with the weight that came with this Presto💕
I'm a newborn in this Field 😅. Never done pressure canning but videos like this helps achieve the goal. Thank you
I'M CANNING FOR THE 1ST TIME NOW....FINGERS CROSSED...VERY HELPFUL, THANK YOU SO MUCH 😊
IT WORKED!!!!! OMG I CANNED MY 1ST BATCH LAST NIGHT, HOT DAMN🥰🥰🥰
Used my hula gauge for the first time yesterday. Total game changer. Thank you for the demonstration.
Thank you!!!!!!!!! Finally I found a video with what I should be looking for on my Presto 16 quart canner /cooker! I'm so nervous when pressure canning!
Thank you for telling us that the regular regulator that comes with the Presto does not really jiggle!!!!!!! Now I am confident that my first canning project is correct! My chicken looks great, good seal and stayed perfectly at 11 lbs the entire time. Thank you !!
Did you cook the chicken? I'm so nervous to start all this.
Every time i need information on something... there you are at the top of my search! Thank goodness your so good at knowing what we need to know and thank God your willing to teach us.
So very helpful to see this, as I am trying out my weighted regulator on my Presto for the first time today. Thanks and God bless!
Thank you so much for this. Just started canning and my Presto has just the weighted regulator and wasn't quite sure exactly how much it was supposed to rock. This helped me so much
Thank you for showing this! I'm canning for the first time today and I realized I had no clue how fast or slow it should rock and what it should look like.
This video is exactly what every new canner needs!! I used mine for the first time yesterday. It was a disaster. My heart was racing the entire time ...what if it blows up...what if it cracks my glass top stove....what if the jars break....my pressure should have been at 11...I did get it to stay there but the regulator wouldn't jiggle....I was peeking from the side of the refrigerator so I didn't get hurt from the explosion 💥...then my husband cranks it up to 15 when it finally jiggled and I timed my quart jars for 70 minutes. Nothing blew up! The timer went off and I turned off my stove and REMOVED THE REGULATOR!! I knew immediately that I made a mistake. We stood there like someone watching a ship sink. After it was completely cooled down, my husband removed the traumatized jars. Two didn't seal but the other 5 seemed fine. Once cool, I washed them clean, apologizing for my lack of good sense. So, hopefully the 5 survivors will continue to thrive. I didn't see anywhere in the manual that the regulator doesn't rock unless it is at 15 so if you are at 11 it is not going to move. I had to find out on TH-cam. Thankfully this video will save others from a total disaster.
I finally got me a weighted regulator and it is awesome. It rocks every so slowly. I love it.
I am seeing this video way after it was posted but thank you so much! This is exactly what I was needing to know!
You are so welcome!
Great video. I just purchased a Presto 16 quart “jiggler” canner at my local Walmart. I really wanted to see what a, “ gentle rocking “ motion would be and this video answers my question, thank you.
I just got the 16 quart presto canner/cooker also, from my old child hood hometown Walmart (about 35 mins away) after everywhere being out of stock locally,and too eager to wait any longer,I decided to just go get it and hit that trail down memory lane. I showed my babies and fiancé everything I remembered and told stories after stories. Went to the Walmart and had it already pre ordered on my phone for pick up and all I had to do is pull in the reserved pick up parking spots,check in,pop the trunk,and they brought it straight out to me and loaded it up. Off I went! The perks of covid I guess (trying to remain optimistic) lol!
Thank you, Leisa. A very timely topic to clear up the difference between the weighted gauge and the dial gauge.
My mom passed away in February just as I was ramping up to start canning. I needed her tutoring since we haven’t done this since I was a young teen. This makes me nervous…
Your videos are so helpful to guide me forward, as much as I would love my mom here helping me. I’m canning turkey chili today❣️
❤Thank you❣️
(((Hugs)))) You've got this
Very helpful. I just started canning last year in my 16qt Presto and having trouble regulating the weight movement on my propane stove. I have moved the canner from the large burner to the medium but still have to sit and watch the jiggler so next time I will try the small burner.
Hello, just used this video to set my regulator. It was very helpful, thank you ❣️ Talk about touchy. On my stove 4 was to high, 3 1/2 was to low, just shy of four was just right. I listened to your hula sound and the sputter of steam and it matched. So hopefully I will have success with my very first canning experience.
Hallelujah, I did it ❣️ 9 pints of Chili Con Carne and all but one sealed. That was my fault. I should have put it in a 1/2 pint. Lesson learned, but it's not going to waste. Dinner!!!!! Thank you for your instruction and guidance. Tee
Thank you so much for this video. Because of this video I used my pressure canner for the 1st time. I canned carrots
Congrats!!!!
Me too! Carrots and after clicking on a few other videos, I settled on this one! I finally found (err stumbled on) a pressure. Anner while in the canning isle at walmart. By accident! I had already been wanting a presto. But they were sold out everywhere. Was showing my daughter how empty the shelves were, how all the jars were sold out. Decided to turn around go back and look again, just in awe even though I didn't know why... and there it was. That bpx sitting all by itself at the bottom shelf as if they had just gotten a shipment of them but sold out all but that last one. I snatched that up lol . Had a bag of carrots waiting for me in the fridge
Was almost enough. I used one jar for purified water, because I wasn't sure if it was OK to do less than 10 jars, per what the book said mine can fit ,for pints. So now I will have 1 jar of purified ,canned water,plus my 9 jars of organic carrots. I was a bit confused on the timing for everything. So decided to let the canner tell me. Concentrated on making sure the weight matched the jiggle that yours had. Even added 10 more minutes once or twice, just to be sure (for the full 25mkn plus extra 10 or 20). If they turn out too soft, oh well. Food is food and I don't wsnt to waste it. I could put it in some soup, if I later discover its too soft.
I have 5 min left now. Im going to turn off the burner and go to bed,letting it cool overnight. Be ause Im exaughsted as its 137am and I over did myself today on everything I had to do ..and am soon tired don't wanna wait any longer 😴. I know it will be ok in the canner till morning,after everything gets turned off.
Be cautious about allowing jars to sit in canner overnight! There is something called flat sour that can occur.
Great video and very helpful! I just scored a vintage Presto 4 qt pressure cooker/canner from Goodwill, and it came w/ the weighted regulator. I’ve never used a stovetop unit before. Not too much on TH-cam to learn from. I’m replacing the seals and will give it a whirl. I can only guess that it’s 40+ years old. Wish me luck!
I love my weighted gauge Presto!
Thanks Leisa!
I couldn't have said it any better. Great video especially with everything happening in the world. And I'm sure a bunch of newbies will be canning now. They need this onfo
I'm brand new to this. I used my 16 qt. Presto pressure canner for the first time and was not able to build pressure with the 10 lb. weight on it. Steam just kept escaping and I was afraid of burning it out. I finally figured out after turning it off that the 10 lb. weight had to really be pushed down with some muscle. It had just been perched on top. I redid it and it worked. We'll see tomorrow if the lids sealed. It's a steep learning curve for me, but I'm very grateful there was an extension canning hotline!
New to canning and so glad you did this. I worry the whole time it's not right. Thanks so much!
Thank you soooo much for explaining about the difference in a jiggler verses a regulator. I appreciate you and all you do for us canners...its soo fun.
I just purchased a Presto 23 at canner and it came with a 15 pound weight. I knew that where I live required a 10 pound weight. Presto said to hear until the quage registered 11 psi. I would rather have a 10 pound weight. Have ordered one from amazon. I agree that Linda's Pantry is a good channel. Have watched her for awhile.
Thank you for this info. I was so confused when I started pressure canning.
you are the best!! i bought my pressure canner and had no idea that i had to have it calibrated ! (who knew) ! When I was told about it I called the extension office but of course during covid-19 no one is in! Another kind soul filled me in on the regulator which i ordered but was honestly terrified to use it! Your video came just in the nick of time!! It was very clear and informative. Can't wait to can!! thanks so much! Signed, One New Happy Canner ;)
I just recently started using a pressure canner. I just bought one with this type of weight situation. Thank you! it helped sooooo much!!!!
Needed that....first time using...thank you for simple straight demonstration...
Me too! Thank you!
Today is my 1st time using my presto canner. I was worried because it didnt jiggle. You made me feel so much better!
Thanks a BUNCH for showing what the weighted regulator should be doing. I think I may have ended up with mine rocking too slowly. I finally got my canner in and my husband is supposed to be building me a table for my back porch. I may can inside after I am sure I will not blow food all over the house😜
Thank you! I needed a refresher.
First time use with the jiggler and it's made canning life so much better. Thank you for this video. Hula onward!
Thank you for this video! I have a new presto and ordered the weights to use. You helped so much with determining how much rocking is going on! Tomorrow I'll be canning my first non-water batch! 😂
You can do it!!!
Thanks so much for this information! Tonight I’m pressure canning for my very first time & it has a weighted gauge like this, & I had no idea how to do this & nobody to ask. If not for your advice I would probably be running the canner dry, so many thanks for this video & all the videos you do to help us as preppers - I watch you almost every day. 👍💖
When I opened TH-cam this morning, this video was a recommended video. I’m SO glad I watched because it was extremely helpful. I pressure canned for the very first time yesterday with a brand new Presto canner and the first type of regulator. I couldn’t figure out why it didn’t move even though I was at the right pressure for my altitude. You answered so many questions I had and I understand why the weighted regulator would be helpful. Thank you, Leisa!
Hi Angie, me too! I’m sitting here with a canner full of food and flipping out a little bit because my rocker isn’t rocking. When troubleshooting I saw recommendations of taking it in (in where???) to be calibrated. I’m like, “but I have a canner full of food! I can’t stop what I’m doing to do that!!” This is only my second time canning and I am very un confident in what I’m doing. The videos on TH-cam make it look so stinking easy. Anyway, thankful to run across this video and realize that this rocker is just going to sit there doing nothing. (My first canning it did rock so I’m not sure what the dealio is).
You are clearly one of my people. 😂
I just got my new jiggler and set it to 10lbs, as I am at 300’
Mine jiggles like this on low and the gauge shows 13 lbs,
the 15lb jiggler also shows 13 lbs of pressure
So the gauge must not be reliable as I have a new spout and a new jiggler for safer canning.
Thank you LS, your the greatest teacher via YT
Thanks Leisa! I didn't know I could change to a weighted regulator, And thanks for the link.
So helpful! First time pressure canning on my moms canner, she has dementia now so I can’t ask her ❤ this gave me the reassurance I needed that I was doing it right 😅
This is a great video and explanation. I will be ordering one because there are not any more hardware stores or extensions in my area to test my gauge. I would definitely prefer this method. Be well and stay safe.
So after coming across Canuary, I finally committed myself to digging out grandma’s 1970’s presto canner. Ordering parts had been a little confusing, like weighted gauge. I did pick the 3 part weighted regulator thankfully. Thank you so much for putting this out. Almost all of the Canuary videos jump pass the actual canner going so I couldn’t see, hear the goal and what weight they used. Your awesome!
I bought the same weight to check my gauges on my large presto canners and a small presto I bought at the thrift store. I remember growing up my mom and aunt had the weight only canners and I used to hear that jiggle sound in my sleep I heard it so much. My aunt recently gave me 2 of the smaller presto canners that are weight only and I am ordering 2 more of those weights. The ones from presto that came with the canners are 15 lb only. Stay safe everyone! God bless!
OH I am SO GRATEFUL to have found you and this video! I have a 16 qt Presto on layaway. My 23 qt that I have right now is made by Barton and I am very unhappy with it. Now I know what to look for with the weights when I get my Presto.... Thank you so much! I love all of your helpful videos and advice!
UNBELIEVABLY HELPFUL!!!!!!
Glad you think so!
I learned to can on a weighted gauge canner with no dial gauge, my oldest is 13 now and still alive so far so good.
Yes you can absolutely rely on the gauge if you have that regular gently rocking! You gauge should hold steady at 10-11#. You just don't have to rely on the gauge. That is the whole point.
I just bought a presto canner with a weighted jiggler. I usually use the gauge dial. Thank you so much for this video. It was so helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My brand new doesn't have the same shaped jiggler she is showing. It doesn't rock like that.???
I just bought a Presto Giggler from Amazon, The pressure canner I bought only came with a 15# weight. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to take the top weight off so I could use only 10#. OMG do I feel stupid! Honestly mine did not come off as easy as yours but I took a screwdriver and pushed it up because it was kinda stuck, it popped right off. Thank you so much!
Thank You. I bought a weighted gauge but was afraid to use it. thanks so much
Bought my very first pressure canner this year it didn't come with a gauge just the weight . This was the exact video I needed thank you so much.
Glad it helped
Thank you so much for this video and explanation. My weighted gauge came in the mail today and I had no idea how to take the weights off. And thank you for showing us what to look for when things are working properly. I appreciate you.
Great info for everybody
Hi Linda , Hey everyone check out this nice lady also , I have followed her for years . She dont know it but we have spent the last two days canning together . LOL love ya linda
Thank you so much! I have been canning at too high apparently. Thank goodness I haven't run out of water. Was always nervous to turn it down too low. I'll be practicing when I do the baked beans tomorrow
Thank you so much for showing how it should look. I feel I can attempt this now.
Thank you for sharing this because I have a presto canner and have been wanting to switch just didn’t know if I should or not but this really helps give me a better understanding.
VERY Helpful. i don't have the dial on mine and have not been sure how the rocking is supposed to look. Have only canned a couple of things so thank you so much for doing this. I just bought a new Presto with a dial yesterday because I wanted to can chicken for the first time and was too scared to use my Presto without the dial. But now I can use both!!!
I’m so new to canning. My gas stove runs hot and I could not get my canner to a “sweet spot” to maintain pressure without exceeding it without turning the burner off and on! It was horribly difficult to maintain proper pressure. Got a weighted guage (also a heat diffuser) and found the sweet spot on the stove dial at medium low! Thanks so much!
Thank you so much. This was so helpful. I’ve had my canner for about 7 months and have been scared to use it. I’m watching it gently rock.😃
You've got this!
@@SuttonsDaze I canned ground beef and it sealed, however, I noticed cloudy ( fat I guess) settled at the top when cooled completely. Is normal and still safe to eat?
@@Nisa-gm5wg absolutely normal and safe
Congratulations you give me hope! I'm almost to my first try...not yet there!
I really appreciate this video. I bought the weighted regulator last summer but didn't try it out. It is very difficult for me get my guage tested so I was worried about it. That's why I wanted this regulator. Now no more worrying about having the gauge tested and thanks to you I now have a visual on exactly how it should rock.
I know, right? I was raised with my mom constantly cooking our food in a pressure cooker. She'd tell me about the sound and if it got loud to call her into the room! Same scientific method. The good thing is I remember those sounds! This video jogged my memory. I just ordered my weighted gauge as well.
The gauge will still read accurate, if it’s 10 psi or 15psi the only thing this helps with is not having to constantly adjust your flame source to be right where you need it to be. You would still take the same precautions as you normally would. Start with a high flame than lower as you reach your desired psi it’ll wiggle out more steam than the original one and keep it there.
Combine this fancy tool with a wifi camera and you can check it without having to leave your couch 👍🏽🥃
I ordered one of these in February because the dial was driving me crazy. The parts web site I ordered it from send me another dial!!! And then the pandemic hit so I couldn't return it and they didn't have my weight. They still don't i check back with them every now and then so I have a backup dial for no reason BUT I watched your video about all your canners last night which was really cool and you shared a link to a different parts website and they had it! So I ordered it and in a week or three - I have no idea how long their shipping takes - I will finally have a weight!!! So excited! Thank you (and thank you for using a presto 23 quart canner I don't feel alone anymore lol)
It's here!!! I'm so excited! Celebrating by making ugly chicken! Woohoo!
BEST VIDEO!....Ran my new canner dry today as ive watched many canning vids and no one seemed to explain this part and ive never canned before. Warped the bottom. Live and learn. At least it was a $89 Presto. Good canner but not $350!..That would have been a tougher lesson. Lol
Thank you! The booklet doesn't explain what to look for really well. This was helpful!!!
Thank you thank you! I just took canning classes from the local extension agency, but I have a weighted canner a just pulled it out to can turkey broth!
LOL thank goodness for this video. I have flat one and didn't know what the hang with no jiggle !!! the P gage thank goodness worked fine so I said a prayer and went with it 😊
Hmmm...I use the “sit there and do nothing” regulator and the pressure gauge. I like this because if the regulator starts rocking (and it does rock just above 15 lbs) I know I’ve gotta turn it down a bit. It works for me. I guess if the SHTF and I can’t get my gauge checked, I’d better have a weighted regulator on hand. Thanks!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! You saved my friend's canner!
Thank you so much for sharing.The new canner I have only has the weighted regulator. Now I understand how it supposed to work.
Mine, too, and I thought I had shorted myself by not buying a fancier model with the gauge. Now I am more than happy with the one I got!
I love the hula dance reference!! Never thought of it that way!!🤗
Thanks so much for this. Finally got the jiggler in the mail. Took a long time. Watched your video as I was canning. Very helpful! Disliked the gauge..couldn't seem to keep it at pressure. Hoping this one is a lot easier.
