Hi Z,

I’m not Lurley but I play her in the canning room.

First, I did not taste anything other than tomato when I used her method.

The short amount of time the tomatoes are in contact with the aluminum is not significant enough to present a problem. IMHO.

As for removing the lid. My All American has both a gauge and a weight. As Lurley states in her directions, once the pressure reaches #10, turn off the fire, remove the weight and let the pressure reduce to zero. Then removing the lid is not an issue.
