I ain't goin' to lie...
I'm intimidated!
It keeps staring at me walking around the kitchen, like a wrestler... I need to be confident to take this thing on!
I downloaded the manual though, going to sit and get through the beginning.
I was suggested to use a pea size amount of vaseline on the seal for an easier removal of the lid. So going to have to do that too before I run a test tonight.

I would be intimidated too, vfem...I want a pressure canner, but I picture myself wearing one of those heavy suits that the bomb squad people wear...walking up quietly to the stove with a riot shield in front of me, scared to death the thing is going to explode in my face!!

I admit, I haven't pressure canned with mine yet, but have done a lot of water bath canning in it.
Gotta work up the nerve still to do the whole pressure canning thing.

Congradulations Vfem! Isn't it great when you get a great deal on something that is practically new? I know the feeling when hubby says to go ahead and get it.
Last weekend I saw the tumbler compost bin at Costco for $99. I had been wanting one but the small ones were around $250. I was scared to get the costco one because I wasn't prepared to pay that kind of money. I hadn't saved any but my husband said to get it since it was a good price and I've been wanting one. My old compost bin was just to hard for me to turn.
Very grateful for great husbands!

I don't have that much clearance over my stove top, but in any case I was planning to use the canner outside on a propane burner, like this:

But I will probably chicken out and just do water bath canning for a while.
Not sure what we're afraid of, exactly? It has an emergency pressure release, right?
