I was fortunate enough to be given a Mirro 8 quart pressure cooker. I am familiar with smaller (4 qt.) sized ones. I did not get a chart or instructions on the water or liquid amounts for meats, veggies etc. and the weights amounts. Could they be the same as for my 4 qt. model?
the water should cover the jars if this is what you are pressuring, the pressure is the same in any size cooker. I have a Small and large one . just be sure your gage is correct.
I assume ;you are discussing the pressure cooker not a pressure canner…. they don’t come in 8 qt size…
the AMOUNTS ARE USUALLY ;marked on the inside.
you should not fill a pressure cooker more than 2/3 full.
