It’s better to turn off the heat than try to move a fully loaded HOT pressure canner.

It takes about an hour for mine to cool enough to handle it without getting burned.

And when you take the lid off lift the side furthest from you first or you'll get a face full of steam.

I agree. Mine isn’t huge and I’m able to move it without getting burned but I have left it in place to cool. It does take a long time either way.
