I was looking at a canning video and this ((safety violation)) popped out at me in no time flat.
Instead of asking what it is I will go ahead and say what it is.
In the picture you will see the over pressure plug on the canner rotated so it is in the front of the stove.
This points it right at your face, if it where to come out for any reason you would be scalded big time.
You will also notice the canner does not have a gauge you have no way of knowing how much pressure is in the canner.
Fine for some but not me.
