It wasn't simply because of my interest in canning, but it added to
the push to get away from my electric cooktop and move to gas.
I have four burners ranging in size from 1 1/2" to 4".
So, my copy of BBB finally came in and I'm canning chili on the new
cooktop.
Started off on the major burner to make steam for :10 and get me up to
10psi. Then off to the smallest burner to keep the psi steady.
I'm having the dickens of a time finding that knob position that will
keep the needle steady at 10.5 psi.
And I want to go downstairs and watch WestWing, but I'm concerned that
unless I find that sweetspot where heat loss=heat added, the needle
will roll one way or the other like a lumberjack on a logroll.
I know that if I go below the target psi I need to start from the
beginning with my timing, so I'm jumping up every :05 to see what's
up.
How do you handle the temp. adjustment business? - Mike
