I have just received a pressure canner from a company here in France - there were absolutely no instructions with it and there is no make on the canner; so I don't know what it is and they seem to be ignoring my e-mails to date! I am a bit freaked out as I have a pile of squash and courgettes. The problem is that there is no trivet to go on the bottom. You are sooo lucky in the US as you have so much guidance!

Hello, I have the 23-quart Presto Pressure Canner. Unfortunately, here in Germany we dont have the usual american sizes of glasses.
Exactly 5 glasses fit in the Pressure Canner. Since there is still plenty of room at the top, I would like to make a second layer on top of the bottom one.
Is this possible? Do I need a second rack for this?
Many greetings from Germany.

Does the canner have to be fully loaded, or can I just use a couple jars

‼️⚠️ the recipe print version omits the addition of the lemon juice before adding to jars! I just made this delish soup using my PC on its inaugural run❤️

I do have a question: I also have a digital Presto and while canning my carrots the other day I forgot to take off the regulator and I canned with it on through the entire process. Is that a problem? Everythng else was perfect I completed the process to the very end. Thanks in advance.

What is meant by making sure digital gauge is working properly? How do you test for this?

Can I pressure can two different sizes of jars pints and quarts ? And how long for ?

[ThunderStruck]

How do I check my pressure gage to make sure it's calibrated?

[janicealderson]

I have now ordered a trivet for the bottom from another place - can i use a cloth underneath? until i get it as it was out of stock here - typical of France!

[olusialovesgod]

Hello there! Can I stacks pints on top of pints? 7 and 7? Would that work for a water bath or canning ?

[elizabethobrien]

Help I don’t know when to put the regulator on. My had a very fine stream of steam but not like any of the pictures. How long should it take to come up to steam. Have a 23 qt canner with 13 pints in it.

I live in Edmond Oklahoma I’m about 1200 elevation. Do I need to purchase another gauge?

[charlichad]

It doesn't explain the PSI gauge and how to install it. Does the gasket and washer go on the inside of the lid or outside?

[IsabelleGrcic]

Where the weight is sitting there is alittle bubbling? Is that normal or ok?
