I've water bath canned for over twenty years, but started pressure canning this year. My jars seem to lose varying amounts of product during the pressure canning process. I follow the rules to a tee, but perhaps a review is in order. I press and run a wooden flat spoon around the edges of my jars and clean the rims. I steam evacuate the canner for ten minutes, maintain 11 lbs for the designated recipe, bring it down to zero, unseal and rest for an additional ten minutes. What's causing the loss of contents and how can I minimize it? I'll post photos if it helps.
