Processing Time and Pressure
The chart below demonstrates proper processing time and pressure for various foods using your
Power Cooker PLUS. The CANNING button sets the pressure. A kPa setting of 80 is equal to
11.6 lbs. PSI. At up to 2,000 ft. above sea level, the Power Cooker PLUS with a kPa 80 setting will
produce sufficient pressure and heat to safely process all foods for canning.
For processing times and methods for additional low acid foods, please refer to the National Center for Home
Food Preservation (http://www.uga.edu/nchfp/): or your local county extension agent.
Safe Canning Tips
• Do not use over-ripe fruit. Bad quality degrades with storage.
• Do not add more low-acid ingredients (onions, celery, peppers, garlic) than specified in the recipe.
This may result in an unsafe product.
• Don't over-season with spices. Spices tend to be high in bacteria making canned goods unsafe.
• Do not add butter or fat. Fats do not store well and may increase the rate of spoilage.
• Thickeners – never use flour, starch, pasta, rice or barley. Use only USDA recommended Clear Jel ®.
• DO add acid (lemon juice, vinegar or citric acid) especially to tomato products when directed in the
recipe. If necessary, you can balance the tart taste by adding sugar.

P1:29 in slow cook mode what does it mean
Yes I have one and I didn’t find the answer in the manual.
What temperature is the slow cooker quick mode? There is a range of 174 -199 but no indication on which mode cooks at the lower range and which cooks at the higher range.
The temperature range for the quick mode on the Power Cooker Plus PPC780P slow cooker is 79-93°C (174-199°F).
