Mirro Pressure
August 21st, 2009
Can someone give me advice on the use of a pressure canner?
I own a Mirro pressure canner, and have used it for 2-3 years. The pressure gauge is a weighted one and has worked fine. This year when canning I noticed that weight didn’t “rock” the way it was supposed to when it reached the proper pressure (with the 10 lb. weight on it) so I’m not sure if it is reaching the proper pressure, even though It’s been on the stove for a long time. As far as I can tell, the lid still locks well, the vent is clear and not plugged, and the safety plug is fine. I still get steam out of the vent, but without the “rocking”motion, I wonder if the canner is attaining the temperatures needed for cooking low acid foods. Is there a way to tell? I haven’t been able to find any thermometers that would be able to tell me the internal temperature while the canner is heating.
I agree with Kitty I canned years ago and never had that problem but I did change my seal and always made sure each piece was well kept like I always feared dropping my pressure weight for fear it would make it off balance or something. I don’t know if that’s possible but I did think about it.
