I have used a pressure cooker over the years. I did have one blow out the safety valve and spray beans all over the ceiling. What a mess. Needless to say, that one was thrown away. We believe that it was simply too full.
Most of the stories I have read about people being burned have been from opening the lid too soon. It is absolutely essential that you wait until every little bit of pressure is out of the pan prior to opening the lid. You can take it to the sink and run cold water over the lid to help this process. In my old age, I just seem to do things the slow way, you know, the old standby oven and the magnificent crockpot.

I bought an instantpot pressure cooker that I can control via Bluetooth from my iPhone. The smart cooker app is very accessible and you can monitor the pressure and temperature through the app. You can use this unit as a slow cooker as well. To read up on it go to http://instantpot.com. Hope that helps.

I just ordered a 6.5 qrt pressure cooker. Has anyone heard any horror stories concerning the pressure cooker? My coworker states that she will never get one after her friend was burned from her face down to her chest by one. _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
