If they seal you are good- Sometimes I found that I have to handle jars very carefully. If I set them down a little to hard or tip them sometimes they will suddenly expel a lot of what ever is in them. You don't have to move them very aggressively at all - sometimes just lifting jars makes it happen or like if mentioned above taking the lid off a little too soon can do it too. Tipping the top weight to make the pressure go down faster will do it too. I went to canning liquids in the evening and when I get to the end I just shut off the stove and go to bed. I leave them in the canner all night and in the morning all are sealed and cooled off. I'm pretty impatient ... this works for me so I don't try to do two batches when I only have time for one. Just did 14 quarts of chicken and this is how I did it. You can re-process them- it won't hurt anything
Just passin through

I've done just about everything you can do wrong while canning and never had this happen. Seems like, you might have some bad lids?

With a dial gauge and a weight gauge both, you'll have better control of your canning. I tried the three way weight gauge, and at 10 pounds it's spitting , shaking , and rattling drove me to changing back to my 15 pound weight. Also once I shut off the heat , it lost pressure very fast. I had siphoning real bad , IMHO because I'm used to the 15 pound weight, and it's quieter , while holding the pressure longer and releasing it slower. I will not use the three way weight again. Already gave them away.

upstate, the rocker did come off before the tab dropped. I waited for the rocker to quit for a bit then let off till the tab dropped.
Well, now you know. That's why they siphoned. You need to let the pressure come down to zero on it's own.

Exactly , and the very reason ( one of them anyway) I use both a dial gauge and a weight gauge. The dial tells me when the pressure is zero, and I still wait about 5 minutes before tipping the weight to see if there's any pressure left.

Did y'all miss his later post where he re-processed, doing everything right, with the same result? I think bad lids.

I’m guessing that grease bubbled up and compromised the seal of the lids. Possibly it. My guess two possible or both together solutions. Chill the broth until the fat congeals then skim if off before canning or leave more headspace.

While I know there's bad lids out there, even Ball lids are made cheaper than they were20 years ago. He also stated later that he did remove the rocker to help the tab fall! Thus causing the jars siphoning . All three times he missed a step ! IMHO he's getting frustrated , and not following the procedure correctly .
