Canner losing steam took lid off and jars started sealing!

12 years ago

Man oh man! I'm not used to pressure canners.

For some unknown reason my pressure canner was leaking steam out of the handle on top. I've got a Mirro.

So, I opened it up because it wasn't under pressure, I was just getting ready to apply the weight.

But there was steam everywhere and when I opened the lid to see if my gasket was okay, the stupid jars started sealing!!!!

I hot packed spaghetti sauce.

I'm hoping they are going to be okay because I got the lid settled on and started processing them all over.

Has that happened to anybody else?

Are they going to be okay when I finish processing them the correct amount of time? I don't know if processing jars that have sealed is going to be a problem.
