Benny,Fail to understand the recommendation for removing the gasket seal for making bread in a PC. You need to place the dough in a covered bowl on a rack over some water so that it can build pressure and temperature. No gasket, no pressure.

Jack,i'm sorry you started it too! i've been reading these posts at about 10pm our time every day or so, and the first thing i do when i finish reading the latest recipe or cooking idea is go in the kitchen and start cooking. i've gained about 10# off this stinkin' thread. enough already!

Ross,Trinky, How much water?
I had to ask because my PC is eight quart. I can process five quart jars or seven pints in there. My friend Suzanne just bought a twelve quart PC. She can process about ten pints in hers.Ross,
You never want to fill a pressure cooker with any more than 2/3s full of liquid. You start off with 1/3 of water, but once you start throwing the meat and vegetables in the pot, you're going to get a High Tide in there which may result in having to bail her out a little to get the 2/3s.

Ross,Trinkky , If you can fit 4 quart size mason jars into to it then you may use it for canning. Make the soup at home and process some into jars for the pantry. Then when you head for the boat you will be able to stock from your larder with the foods you prefer.
But for the quality of home made soup it is worth the effort.Ross,
For the sake of having you cringe at me right now,-- I'm going to take the chance anyway,-- and say this with my bare face hanging out;

I knew that you'd get the last word in. I don't know Ross, but I think that I'm just too set in my ways. When I go cruising for a couple of days I like to pack some franks and rolls for the dogs, a chicken pot pie w/ fries, maybe some Banquet Southern Fried Chicken, a left over pork chop, or anything left over from home. I know.--I'm hopeless,--but this is what I like. I usually have cereal in the morning, and I sometimes have a bologna sandwich for lunch. Hey, this is what I like. I know that I look like big chubba-lubba-blubba, but I'm happy.But for the quality of home made soup it is worth the effort.
