"It is a vigorous steam sound that I adjust my canner to. I would guess that it is better to have a steady pressure than fluctuating. That said,I remember my mom's pressure cooker would act the same way you describe, nothing,…"

"No problem. Before canning, we do purge the air without the regulator in place. We have tried somewhat fruitlessly to adjust the heat while it is going---it either does the on/off thing described above, or it just barely bubbles along. I…"

Is our pressure canner supposed to do this?
We have used our pressure canner three times and have had fluid boil out each time. We think it might be due to the fact that the pressure canner vents violently periodically rather than a gentle constant vent. Our canner is a Mirro 12 qt canner. Is the violent venting a normal thing (and we are doing something wrong elsewhere) or do we have a defective canner? Thanks!AliceSee More
