Thanks for the info. Knowing the exact pressure is not too important to me. I cook with it just like you do, allowing steam to escape out the vent hole before putting the jiggler on. Playing with the heat setting on the stove gives me a good idea what's happening inside the cooker.
Cooked some black beans without a pre soak for 10 minutes. Then added lentils, split peas and dried peppers for 10 minutes. Came out just right, soft but not mushy. Filled a few corn tortillas and heated in iron skillet.
This pan is the perfect size and cleans up quick, so much easier than a big pressure cooker.
