In reply to Rhinda. Rhonda, Wow, that is pretty strange! Did the pressure canner vent properly before you added the weight? Have you checked over the vents, air locks, to be sure they are clear and contain no trapped material or mineral deposits? I wouldn't use it until you have solved the problem. Maybe you could reach out to the manufacturer of your pressure canner, or ask for advice at your local extension office.

Getting ready to can stock now. My weighted gauge pressure canner is not depresurizing naturally, ended up taking weight off after 3 hours of cool down to release pressure. Any suggestions?

In reply to Eric. Eric, When pressure canned properly, chicken stock is safe to store without refrigerating. Yes, you are taking a risk by storing for weeks in the fridge. The refrigerator doesn't stop bacteria from growing. Chicken stock can be safely refrigerated for 3-4 days. Other than pressure canning chicken stock, freezing is your best option longer storage.

In reply to cmichaels. The root veggies must add a wonderful earthy flavor.
