I ran across another one of these and the problem is they put 70KPa weights on the cooker and 80 KPa weights on the canner. Same pot different weights. Amazon has 80Kpa weights for about 5 bucks. Problem solved. 70Kap = 10.15psi. 80 KPa is 11.6psi.
Oh wow! I didn't realize they had a different version.
I have the same cooker and canned venison stew last year. I used 15 psi weights instead of the 10 psi (70 kpa) weights it came with because of my elevation. The stew came out great and remained shelf stable.
exacto,bien , las pesas son los que gradúan la presión interna de la olla ,estas ollas pueden dar fácilmente las 15 psi de presión que si sirven para envasar conservas. sin problemas
Thanks for the video. I wish I had seen it before buying it.
You're very welcome. 😊
I have this cooker and didn't really wanna run it hard but your vid helped alot thank you 😎😜✊💪🙌🙌
How is yours working out?
What's the top pressure yours has achieved?
I do have to admit, I have never owned a pressure cooker before and was really hoping it would double as a pressure canner due to the high quality pressure gage and the manual having references to a much higher pressure.
But I feel that I did follow the manual's guidelines and still never built up pressure. 😥
The weights are supposed to dance at 10 lbs. Thats how it keeps the pressure even. It did exactly as its supposed to.
Melanie.... It did not do what it's suppose to do. If you watch the video, it starts dancing below 9 lbs and never even gets up to 10 lbs. It never got above 9 lbs pressure.
It is advertised to get up to 11.5 lbs pressure, but it never got above 9 lbs with my gas stove burner on it's highest setting.
@@GregoryBoysHomesteadlas pesas son de mala calidad no pesan lo mismo con unas pesas de 90kpa debe darte 13 psi con 100kpa debe darte 15psi,,,,,,con 50 kpa,,,debe darte 7,2 psi. cambia las pesas con los kpa adecuado. y ambas deben pesar igual o la menor será la que limite las psi.de la olla.
What pressure cooker do you suggest for canning vegetables
Where can I find replacement gaskets for this cooker?
Any question on this look up how to use a weighted regulator on pressure canner
If you throw enough money at a problem, it's bound to fix it sooner or later.
Or,... You can just buy a decent product from the get-go.
So the 32 qt pressure "canner" works just fine. I will sat the first couple uses it did have to turn the burner up higher then I had other Cannes, but once you put the weights on and pressure starts building if you put any oven mit on and barely move the weights it seals up great. Yes unfortunately its from china & thats not ideal. But it works great🥰
What model number is your Canner?
Our store had them in the canning section with the jars. Picked up this as a back up - it will not get past 9 in pressure. Did three tests yesterday with full canner of 7 qts. No go. Burner on high heat, steam flying and rockers rocking. Not recommended. Hoping to return. I've been canning for 40+ years. My concern is the accuracy of the gage and the thin walls, vents and safety relief valve if I were to change to a higher rated set of rockers.
I returned the one I bought and picked up a Presto brand.
It’s probably a minor adjustment that will make yours work. They come from China where “close is good enough”.
There were a lot of these sold. Maybe a fix video would help all the folks stuck with ones that don’t work. That guy would be a hero!
Pretty simple piece of equipment. Heat, water and something to restrict the pressure escape to maintain 10psi. Problem is always the restriction. Usually a minor adjustment such as getting the jiggler to seat on the stem. Like a valve on an engine.
I think the only way to make this product to hold more pressure would be to purchase Two new heavier weights and a new high pressure release valve with a higher tolerance. So about $25 bucks could increase the pressure, but I'd be concerned about the lighter weight of the cooker itself being able to contain the higher pressure.
@@GregoryBoysHomestead Did you try holding the jigglers down to see if you could get over 10 psi? You’re only about a pound away from where it needs to be, so it shouldn’t take much extra weight to get to 11 or so.
@@JLang-bn3hs Friend, I still don't think you have watched the video. LOL ... Jump to the 10:00 minute mark of the video by tapping on the blue colored 10:00
@@GregoryBoysHomestead I saw that. I was wondering if you had held the jigglers down long enough to see if the pressure would reach 10psi+.
Hi were can I buy parts at
Can you can in this or is it just for cooking foods?
I would only trust it for water bath canning.
I would not try to can foods that require pressure cooking.
So that looks IDENTICAL to my Gourmet Trends Canner - I mean Exactly.
Same here. I just got mine. How did your gourmet trends work out?
HA! I’m looking for UA-cam help with my new Red Mountain pressure canner, and look who I run into!
Oh! And thanks for the video. Now we know why our “canner” isn’t getting hot enough.
@@karenluebke1605
If you have the product I'm reviewing in this video, you will have to burn Coal in order to get it hot enough for canning and then all your water will boil off before your food is canned properly. LOL
I watch this thinking it was going to be somebody that had used pressure cookers before I knew what they were doing.. you can go on the internet and pull up a kPa equals PSI and find out that 80 kPa equals 11.6 PSI. That's on the low end of the range. These two rockers on here are weighted and you were only going to get whatever they can hold in this pot. The.gov websizes if you ask the difference in a canner or a cooker by their definition of rockers and a gauge and it can hold more than five jars it does qualify as a canner. The kicker is you have to have a hot enough stove because the heat of the burner is going to be your only control for PSI or kPa. At that 9 PSA that he was talking about those rockers are barely floating so if you were to turn the burner up hotter it would create more steam it would have to lift those rockers higher and that would take more PSI. . I used to can with my mom back in the sixties. So I'm used to using pressure cookers. I have a kPa gauge on my cooker canner. So I want to turn it on and run it up and let it build pressure slowly so that I have control of it and if it starts going past 80 if that's what my target is then I need to turn my burner down if it's not reaching 80 I need to turn my burner up but you do have to watch these things this isn't going in the living room and watch The Three stooges. I've got about 4 gallons of beans with the ends trimmed off of them and I'm fixing to start snipping them up and we're fixing to can some beans. I'll see if I can remember to get a video of it while I'm doing it. It really looks like a good piece of equipment with a whole lot of failsafe built into it.
You've commented a lot on this video with comments that are just not true and blatantly false.
I hope someone doesn't read your comments and think this item can be used for anything more than Nine PSI.
How do you order parts for the river Valley pressure cooker
Hello there...
What parts do you need?
Thanks a lot for this video.. i saw one of these for $40 and was thinking about getting it... I thought that duel steam system was a weird design... Look at the mirro 22qt
I'll check that one out... After I returned this one, I decided to get a Presto 23 Quart Pressure Cooker. Model 01781. I didn't make a review video but it definitely built up the pressure and worked as advertised. 😊
@@GregoryBoysHomestead I use mirro pressure cookers my largest is 16 quarts... I would like a 22 quart and saw your video of the cooker I saw... glad you posted that video... that’s probably why the person is getting rid of theirs so cheap. Also that was to be ‘I’m looking at the mirro 22qt’ typo on my end
@@wemcal , Ahhhh... Gotcha... This place has the Presto 23 quart that I bought for about the same price as the one I reviewed with no shipping costs.
Hopefully the link works for ya.

@@wemcal Loved your glass of water tutorial.... Very Refreshing!! 😅
@@GregoryBoysHomestead ha... I’m waiting for the first “you didn’t pour the water right” comment
Gourmet Trends makes this same model and it is sold as a pressure canner. The instruction manual says “Pressure Canner”. 70 pKa=10.15psi.
😲
@@GregoryBoysHomestead The canner comes up to pressure nicely and stay steady. When I turn the heat off it will hold pressure for about 20 minutes. What more can you ask for? When you weighed the weights, grams is a whole lot more accurate of a weight than ounces. Not sure what that was all about…
@@JLang-bn3hs What ever it is that you purchased, it is obviously not the same unit as the one in this video... If you watch the video you are commenting on, you will see that it does not hold anywhere near the advertised pressure. Multiple reviews on the Rural King web site also state the exact same issue.
Quick and too the point lol
😊
Can you can meet with this one? Or is it only for water bath canning
I personally would not can meat with this one. It would not build up enough pressure or get hot enough. I would only water bath with it and cook low pressure meals for dinner that night.
@@GregoryBoysHomestead ok thank you So much I knew it was too good to be true I found one for 80 lol would you happen to know of one that is around $100 that you can can meat with?
@@jessicaweaverjerrybrooks5787
The only pressure cooker that I would trust would be the Presto 01781 23 quart pressure cooker. I bought one after testing this one and it worked so well that I bought another one.
If you type in "Presto 01781 23 quart" into your web browser and tap the shopping icon, you can scroll sideways or down until you find a price you like.
Here is one I found, but I do not endorse the company and know nothing about them. It is just the least expensive I found at first glance. (Less than $80 at time of making this comment)

@@GregoryBoysHomestead okay thank you so much!!!! I really appreciate it!!!
I would be more suspicious of the accuracy of the dial gauge than the weighted gauges. I wonder if the is a rating stamped on the bottom of the weights.
I don't remember seeing a stamp. But I did look for a "5, a 10, or a 15". However, at the 3:30 mark, I put them on a sensitive digital scale.
There are a few reviews on the Rural King website that mention they couldn't get much pressure built up either.
Here's a link to that info.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting 🙂

On the one I have on the top of the black plastic button on the top of the rockers it says 70 kPa on both rockers. 10.1526 psi = 70 kpa. 11psi = 80 kPa.
He has a PSI gauge and he's saying he's getting 9 PSI = 62.0528 kPa. It just needs to have a hotter fire not much.
@@eagle3351using the weights negates the pressure gauge they are designed to do as exactly as they did in the video you want even venting going hotter just makes it vent faster
I got up to 13 PSIi after adding some scrap copper pipe with fittings over the top of the 2 weights which now seal those valves. The safety valve is now whistling and limits the pressure to 13 PSI - at least more than the 10 PSI. I even tried to weigh down the safety valve and pressure went up - I stopped it when it reached 17 PSI - do not want to test the limit!
Awesome! You are more brave than I was. 😉
That’s to much pressure lol the weights are designed to let off pressure at 10 psi and because of it it throws the dial gauge off and makes it obsolete watch a video on using a weighted regulator pressure canner
para conserva bastan 15 psi. que son 100kpa, 50 kpa son 7,2 psi. 90bkpa son 13 psi.la olla da esa presión sin problemas o la valvulas de seguridad te avisa,
Your gauge will never hit 10psi because you are using weights. They negate the gauge altogether. the weights are designed to let off pressure at 10psi. So canning with it you run it hot once the weights or a weight starts to dance back off on the heat until it vents the steam at a steady pace, not to fast not to slow. Once you have it dialed in you start your processing time. I found when one weight is dancing the other sits fairly still. As long as you have 10 psi or 70 Kpa weights not sure how many ounces mine are but mine are stamped on the top of the weights as 70 kpa
con 70 KPA DEBE DARTE 10,15 PSI. ,,,,CON 90 KPA 13 PSI ,,CON 100KPA 15 PSI. es el peso de la válvula quien te da los psi.
It’s says pressure cooker I don’t see and pressure canner???
Correct. It doesn't say "Pressure Canner" anywhere on it. However, with dual weights and a gage that reads Way over 15 pounds, I considered it within reason that it would build more than 9 pounds pressure.
Ok thanks just asking just starting to get into canning!!!
@@martyg8533
No problem.
I would suggest the
Presto Brushed Aluminum Pressure Cooker and Canner 23 qt.
Model# 01781
@@GregoryBoysHomestead by the.gov website definition of a canner this fits a canner. Rockers and a gauge and it holds more than five jars. It is rated for higher than 10 psi or 80 kPa as another built-in safety Factor they probably figured it at the upper limit of heat coming off a stove top because the only way that you can control this kind is by adjusting the burner up and down
@@eagle3351 Hmmmm.... Built like a canner , Looks like a canner , but doesn't build enough pressure to do canning.
Maybe they were trying to make a canner but then realized it wouldn't do the trick and so they labeled it a cooker instead.
oh you're right you're learning its a canner you just don't know how to run it could it be the gauge is wrong you base it on the weights! take the gauge to the corporate extension division have them test it that's what you're supposed to do with those gauges getting tested every year
It absolutely is not a canner.
It would need a higher tolerance pressure release valve and both weights would need to be replaced with heavier weights. And even then, the metal is not as thick or heavy duty as a pressure canner when compared to the Presto 23 quart pressure canner in this link.
