[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 455860, member: 84"] Actually.........it was pretty easy. Instructions were clear, simple to follow. My thing was my Mom, all the time I was growing up, would always say watch it or it will blow up. (nice huh?) Well, the type she had......yeah, you had to watch it. But they're not made like that now. You have to keep an eye on it to make sure the pressure is right, but otherwise......you're good. So, we're waiting for what I assume is the water to heat to a good rapid boil in the cooker........with the valve cover off so we can see steam that is supposed to "pour" out.......only we watch the wrong valve.......and it's not steam it's basically water. lol Worries us. We're supposed to put the valve cover back on once we see the steam pouring out.....then the other valve thingie is supposed to pop up and stay there and "seal" the pressure. Ok. Only it kept doing that sputtering water thing. So we moved back wondering if we did something wrong and it was gonna blow........and waited, and waited, and finally it popped up and all was right with the world. :rofl: So I'm guessing the sputtering water thing was normal......but it sure would've been nice had they bothered to mention that in the darn book. Before putting it into the pressure cooker, we just blanched the grn beans, filled up the jars and that was basically it. Not hard at all. And I already know I like this cooker better than my moms by far. lol [/QUOTE]
