Guest guest Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Yep, couldn't eat without it. Amazing how many people are afraid of pressure cookers. Must have had one tragic childhood with visions of stew on the ceiling. Karo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I'm more leery of using one, than afraid. I've grown up with seeing my grandmother use one, on my mom's side of the family. But I also heard multiple times about the story of what happened with my dad's side of the family and my grandmother on that side blowing a hole in the kitchen ceiling as she wasn't as careful as she should have been... So for me it's always been one of those, love the idea, not to sure about the reality. Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 You don't have to use a pressure cooker to have food on the ceiling though. Once when I was about 12 and was babysitting, I decided to make a couple of hard boiled eggs. Put them on in a pan of water, turned on the gas burner, and then promptly forgot all about them when I got busy with the children. Soon I heard a very loud explosion in the kitchen.......what did I see when I went in there but hard cooked egg ALL over the kitchen, including the ceiling! It was awful. I did my best to clean it up and think I got most of it. I told the lady but I'll bet she was still finding bits of exploded egg for weeks. That's what happens when the pan boils dry and the pressure builds up in the egg!!!.......KA-POW!! Never had a problem with a pressure cooker though....just follow the directions with care and you will do fine. Nancy C. East Texas Yep, couldn't eat without it.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 ive always been afraid of them since my sister's lentil soup ended up on the ceiling! are there any with especially easy-to-follow instructions for the mechanically inept, like myself? -- JUST POSTED: POPCORN about a gfveg night out +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ http://wheatlessandmeatless.blogspot.com/ WHEATLESS AND MEATLESS Fine Flavors From The Gluten-Free Vegetarian +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I'll go along with that - when I was about eight or so I was spending part of the summer with grandparents and gramps was making pea soup in the cooker. I remember a BANG like a cannon going off and then seeing a geyser of green almost touching the ceiling for a minute. The cooker pressure weight part was buried in the ceiling and he had to use a ladder and pry it out of the plaster with a screwdriver. I do remember that grams didn't let him do much cooking for the rest of the summer either... Ed With the Internet, the answer is out there - the problem now is to figure out what the question is....
