To quote from an earlier post: Even though some manufacturers certify their brand of pressure cooker is acceptable for use as a pressure canner, most canning experts will tell you not to use a regular pressure cooker for canning purposes. You can, however, still use a pressure cooker with a regular lid, for small batches of water bath canning. Pressure cookers are NOT recommended for canning because a fully loaded canner takes a longer time for heating and cooling. This time is taken into account when determining processing times in standard canning timetables. The smaller pressure cookers have smaller loads, and this causes them to heat and cool quicker than a pressure canner. This causes problems with accurate timing.
