Pressure Cooker Repair – Mirro Matic Jiggler

I bought a pressure cooker on ebay.  It is a Presto Model A603A.

Note the sharp point on the vent tube that the Mirror Matic jiggler sits on.  The vent tube that came with my pressure cooker as blunt.  Beans did not cook after 1.5 hours.  They should have cooked in 40 minutes maximum.

The best way to fix the situation was to order replacement parts of the newer design style.  I bought the parts here:

• cookingandcanning.net – had trouble calling them at the number on their website: 800 851 3266  so I called the credit card company and got a number they answer! : 623-327-1443  – Order Status

Another site with  parts is: pressurecooker-outlet.com

• I installed the replacement parts for my pressure cooker and started a new batch.  I can tell by the smell!  I can tell by the smell of the food cooking inside that the pressure is correct.  It has a distinctive smell when the pressure is sufficient.  
• The sound of the jiggler presssure valve is correct.  With the incorrect parts excessive steam was being vented and making quite a bit more noise than when operating correctly
• The jiggliing of the jiggler pressure valve is what you are accustomed to.  This proves it is regulating pressure because in order to do so it must "float" on the excess pressure of the steam venting.  It is an unstable hover that you would expect a wiggling motion.  With the incorrect parts it simply laid to one side.
