Also, when you start your timer once they are in the boiling water, do you wait for it to boil again before timing?

I absolutely love mine. Take a look at all the wonderful things I can. That's only part of my pantry: http://doomerincanada.blogspot.com/2010/12/peak-inside-my-pantry-jarred-food.html It's funny - I can't stand boiling water bath canning because it's such a lot of work. With pressure canning, I just have to make sure that my jars are clean - not sterilized or hot. And I only put about 2" of water in my canner instead of having to fill it to cover the jars. And you're so limited in what you can BWB. Honest - get used to using your pressure canner and you'll think it's the most amazing tool in your kitchen. :) I'd get rid of my fridge before I got rid of my canner.
