does the regulator on top of the pressure cooker jiggle once it gets to correct pressure?

All of our current pressure cookers(besides our 8 quart stainless steel model), will have a regulator that rocks. If you have any questions regarding your cooker, do not hesitate to contact our Customer Service Department via phone at 1-800-877-0441 or e-mail at contact1@gopresto.com. Thank you.

This pressure cooker comes with a 15 pound weight that will rock when 15 pounds of pressure is reached. A nice gentle rock is needed to maintain 15 pounds. If there are any questions, you may reach out to our Customer Service Department M-F 8-4:15 CT by phone(1-800-877-0441) or e-mail(contact1@gopresto.com).

yes, it does jiggle. The really old models with the 3 stripe pressure gauge did not, but these seem to. Hope that helps

Yes it adjusts via a knob on one side turning knob all way to off , shuts gas off. Clicks into off postion to stop accidential turn on.

Nope, it's loose enough to allow steam to escape. If there was a rubber seal and the top sealed onto the bottom it could pop off when the contents became heated and was put under pressure. If you're looking for something that seals you're probably looking for a pressure cooker!

I never had that problem. I would contact the customer service dept, or try to send back for a replacement. Once you do start to use this pressure cooker you will absolutely love it!

It does tend to jiggle a little, and it does not secure snug. After a while you will hardly notice it. I have owned mine for almost a year and I don't notice it uless I grab it from the top.

Yes, a dial on top will adjust from full flow to nearly off. I slow down the flow when feeding to keep the food from being washed from the surface. I have used the Tetra 20, 40, and 60, and all have the same adjustment.

There is an excellent pressure regulator on top with two (2) settings ... Most of the recipes seem to call for low or high for certain amounts of time....and it works nicely.....this cooker is excellent

after about a month it fixed itself... I just decided to ignore the pressure sensor, and then one day I noticed it was off and working fine again. Very strange indeed. Has been working fine though since.

No. Mine has pressure reading off 2-3 PSI. Since I know this I just adjust accordingly.

If you mean the regulator control (steam to pressure) it just sits on the unit. It does not push down. It floats. When you use pressure simply turn it to that point and the when it's done it will bleed off by it self or you can carefully turn it to steam to take pressure off quickly. Please use caution due to hot steam. Does this answer your question ?

Yes, the handle does jiggle slightly. It doesn't interfere with using it, though.

Mine did the same after first use, worked out it was a faulty gas regulator, took it back and they swapped the regulator with another one and it works fine again..

Mine came with that pressure regulator but I had a very hard time regulating pressure to 10-11 pounds on my electric stove. I ended up purchasing a pressure regulator that has weight measures on it. Works fine now.

I have a Presto pressure cooker. I would suggest looking at the bottom of your old pressure regulator and see how it's constructed. This one has an "open clover-leaf" type opening with four sections.

Not sure, i use a pressure switch on mine so it's only on while the switch is pressed but otherwise im guessing it's designed to not stay on?

I think I've figured it out....I've had problems with mine staying only on high. When I first used it you could adjust it from high to low. Mine got screwed up by moving it once (I have it on a cart) and that's when I only had high afterwards. I jiggled stuff around like where the burner was at, or whatever would jiggle and now it's working fine. I got stuck on high only a couple more times and whatever I jiggled corrected it. Otherwise, I LOVE this grill....cooks so well, never had anything burn or flare up.
