Guest guest Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Hi Nancy, You are right - you can't foolproof things against idiots lol. Not that I think my mother was an idiot, she was a fantastic cook . I wonder how many people had pressure cookers in 1897 - that is just amazing. But the new ones, IMHO, are much better than the " jiggle tops " . I have only looked at the Kuhn Rikon and the Fissler, and they are not cheap, but they are almost " idiot proof " lol. But of course you still have to follow directions, maintain your pressure cooker etc. Also I found this while doing some googling on pressure cookers Use in food detoxification Some food toxins can be reduced by pressure cooking. A Korean study of aflatoxins in rice (associated with Aspergillus fungus) showed that pressure cooking was capable of reducing aflatoxin concentrations to between 12 and 22 % of the amount in the uncooked rice. Virginia West Aussie The old pressure cookers are great too. IF the directions are followed you won't have any problems. No one I know in my family has ever had one explode including my Grandma Davis who was married in 1897 and had a REALLY old pressure cooker. You just have to pay attention operate them per instructions and you won't have pea soup on the ceiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
