A pressure cooker or for that matter, a pressure canner, is not a difficult tool to learn to use. Then again, I'm probably classed as a terrorist with an arsenal because I have 3.
My wife loves to can, but is very afraid of that very thing. She'll watch that thing for about 99 minutes of a 100 minute load of albacore...unless she has to pee, and I'm home. then she gets a 3 minute break. That is, if she trusts me for that long.
Apparently she's known personally, two folks that have died in canner explosions.
My wife worked in claims at State Farm back in the 60's. She saw all the horror stories of exploding pressure cookers detailed in the claim forms. She refuses to own a pressure cooker.

ReplyDeleteLooks like the pressure relief valve didn't relieve.

That was the BIG relief valve going off..
ReplyDeleteI'll bet someone got tired of the pressure relief valve whistling and jammed a screw in it so they could nap.
ReplyDeleteIf you have really tough meat such as from an old moose, a pressure cooker is the way to go.

Pressure cooking turtle meat to de-bone it works very well.
ReplyDeleteTough meats, etc.
There's lots of cook books out there for pressure cookers.

That looks more like a pressure canner than cooker.

On the plus side, the coffee pot survived.
