I won't use the pressure canner any time soon. I don't trust the seal

Actually, a weak seal is safe, so far as pressure is concerned - it will
just leak a bit, and you won't get up to pressure. If the pressure
regulator (weight, relief valve, whatever) works and there's little or no
steam coming from around the rim, it's fine.


Mabye Dave and thanks but I'm Navy trained. Steam leaks scare me g. I
know a mere 10PSI isnt much to worry about but ...


Yeah, big difference from Live Steam! 10PSI = 239F
