jar is almost always a sure sign of spoilage. When you open the jar, look for other signs such as spurting liquid, unusual odor or mold.

Sterilization of empty jars

Use sterile jars for all boiling water bath recipes. To sterilize empty jars, put them right side up on the rack in a boiling- water bath. Fill the bath and jars with hot (not boiling) water to 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Boil 10 minutes. Remove and drain hot sterilized jars one at a time. Save the hot water for processing filled jars. Fill jars with food, add lids, and tighten screw bands.

Empty jars used for vegetables, meats, and fruits to be processed in a pressure canner need not be sterilized beforehand. It is also unnecessary to sterilize jars for fruits, tomatoes, and pickled or fermented foods that will be processed 10 minutes or longer in a boiling-water canner.

Label and Store Jars:

The screw bands should be removed from the sealed jars to prevent them from rusting on. The screw bands should then be washed, dried and stored for later use.

Store in a clean, cool, dark, dry place. The best temperature is between 50 and 70 °F. Avoid storing canned foods in a warm place near hot pipes, a range or a furnace, or in direct sunlight. They lose quality in a few weeks or months, depending on the temperature and may even spoil. Keep canned goods dry. Dampness may corrode metal lids and cause leakage so food will spoil. For best quality, use canned foods within one year.

Care and Cleaning

1.The Splendid Pressure Cooker is made of high-quality, heavy gauge, 18/10 stainless steel.

2.The pressure cooker pot and lid should be washed with warm water, mild, dish-washing soap and a non- abrasive cleaning pad, since stainless steel can discolor in a dishwasher. Since the exterior of the pressure cooker has a mirror finish, do not clean with metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, which scratch and ruin the finish. Wash the lid with water and towel dry.

3.To remove stubborn stains and any discoloration in the interior of the pressure cooker, try adding the juice of half a lemon and 1 to 2 cups of water to the pressure cooker pot. Cook at high pressure for 15 minutes, then remove from heat. Let pressure release naturally, then wash as usual.

4.After cleaning, towel dry with a clean, soft kitchen cloth to retain the polished mirror finish.

5.In order to extend the life of the rubber gasket, remove after each use and wash with warm water and
