[Blindtlk] more canning questions

[Julie J.]

Steve,  thanks so much!  That is a relief.  I was looking at them with my 
son on Amazon last night, asking him what he thought about me being able to 
use certain models.  He suggested that we take off the plastic cover of the 
gauge so I could feel where the needle was positioned.  It was a good idea, 
but not one I think I'm willing to try!  It's good to know they still have 
the weighted valve cover in addition to the visual gauge.

And Mike, thanks for reminding me about the cooking list.  I was subscribed 
before, but the list traffic got to be overwhelming.  That's been a while 
ago though when it was new.  I think I'll give it a try again.

Julie

Julie,

My larger one also has a pressure gage, but also the weight that releases
the steam from.  I would like to suggest looking at this one, which is right
between the two I have:

HTH,

Steve

Steve or anyone who knows about canning food,

I've been looking at canners, and all the new ones seem to have a visual
pressure gauge.  If I'm understanding this correctly, there would be no
hissing/rattling noise like from the older type of weighted metal pressure
cap.  My experience with pressure cooking is very limited.  Are these newer
models of pressure canners with the numerical gauge at all useable by blind
people?  How will I know when it's up to pressure?  How will I know when
it's too much pressure, preferably before the safety valve blows off.
*smile*

If there is a particular brand and model that anyone knows of that they have
successfully used non visually, I'd be forever appreciative of the info!

Julie
