I recently purchased a pressure canner from marketplace. As I’m canning, the metal piece in the middle pressure release thing spins and moves a lot, and it makes me worried that there’s already too much pressure despite the weight not jiggling. Is it normal for it to move and wiggle? Am I going to blow myself up?
Thanks

Normal. It’s a safety valve. You won’t blow yourself up.
Whenever you purchase new equipment like this, it is highly recommended that you get the components tested, or just install new ones. It is possible that your gauges aren’t working and the Fail-Safe “over-pressure-plug” is alerting you to this, or maybe your plug is faulty?
