I've had my shiny new Pressure Canner for a while now and have a question. How long does it normally take for a canner to a) reach purging temperature and b) reach processing pressure. It seems to take an inordinate amount of time to get to both for me and I just wondered whether my electric cooker was up to the job or if this is normal. Just to add, I get a good seal, and can keep the pressure where it should be once reached with some messing about. I can't leave it unattended though.
There were 6, 500ml(1 pintish) jars being processed
