I am canning turkey broth and soup today. . .The batch of turkey broth that I canned, after I took the canner off the burner, while the pressure was dropping, one of the lids popped off the jar (before I opened the canner) and then, after the pressure was down and I opened the canner, put the jars on the countertop, about 5 minutes later, another lid explosively popped off another jar (and some broth flew out along with it too--glad I wasn't right beside it)

So why did this happen? Any ideas? Thanks!

To full? To much fat in the broth. Very cold draft around the jars out of the canner.
Just a couple of thoughts.

It was kind of fatty. . .maybe too full? Well, I'll be more careful with filling this afternoon. Thanks for the input!! :)

YIKES!

I bet that gave you quite a start!

Had a lid do this while canning jams and such. Luckily my head wasn't over the jar either!
