I was thinking there was a problem with the last batch of tomatoes I was canning.
There was. Not sure what I did - or didn't do - but the pressure cooker (22 quart) has a very thick layer of scorch.
Any suggestions for how to get it off?

fill to just above the scorch with water, add a goodly amount - a big handful - of automatic dishwasher powder, boil for a few mintues, and let stand a couple hours. See how much comes out, and you may have to repeat if it is very bad. I have used this on scorched burned pans for years.

I've scraped off a lot of the soot with a razor blade.

Sorry.... Thats all I've got !! Have reheated and boiled burnt on before and it helped. (for some reason I'm thinking aluminum and tomatoes don't mix well can't remember why, I know on foil will eat a hole thru it)
But do like those pressure cookers!!
Good Luck
