I do the vaseline every time I use it but only do one surface, just the pot rim, not the lid, too.

Gotcha. Glad to know that.

That sounds like a great way to do it. I didn’t care much for the directions that it needed to be greased but not every time plus be on the lookout for a buildup. I believe in the manual it even says that needs to be greased but not seen. So how do I know when it is gone? When my lid sticks? I don’t really want to get to that point.

I will finally get to use my new canner after thanksgiving, to can turkey broth.
