Actually, it's not a loose jiggler, it's a non-removable weighted 
valve that pops up as soon as pressure begins to form and steam 
needs to vent.

It is a single hole type release mechanism.  I was hoping to find 
some mention of the pressure at which it begins to vent in the 
instructions that came with the cooker, but there is non...and 
there is no list of specifications that might include such info. 

I guess I'd have to assume its 10 PSI, but that would only be an 
unverifiable guess.  Think I'll stick to boiling water bath 
suitable preserving for now.
