If you release the pressure from the canner it will siphon the contents of the jars out... if you let it drop on its own it doesn't happen. at least I have never had it happen allowing it to cool off without releasing the pressure (aka... impatience). I have even seen it happen in a waterbath canner.removing the jars from a rolling boil will also cause the juice to siphon all over the counter.
I also have more than one canner... that really speeds things up. I won't confess how many I have... more than two. less than 10 I find them at the goodwill or thrift shops.. I snag them right up. I got one last week for 5.00 like new. mirro brand still in the box. I am giving it to a friend who has a large family to feed and one pressure canner.
