I kinda like that horror writing on the side of the cake that looks like someone was murdered and tried to write last words with own blood.

Electric ones are much safer, they self-regulate and therefore rarely explode.

You just have to NOT open it while the food is still cooking in it and all that pressure is built up inside, and you'll be fine! I've been using one for years, never had an issue. Read and follow the instructions, people!!

My Mom had 2 blow up, luckily she wasn't by them at the time. Had a hole in the ceiling for 37 some year before I found a painter who fixed right. Never did find the gauge though and I'm scared to use the Instant Pop my son have me for Christmas.

This reminds me of the Great Grape Juice Catastrophe of 1975. My mom + huge batch of concord grapes generously given to us by a neighbor + a pressure canner = purple walls, ceiling and purple stained tea towels for YEARS. The little pressure valve on the top that is supposed to jiggle and shake and release steam created a geyser of scalding hot grape juice when one of the jars broke inside the canner. Thank goodness were OUT of the kitchen at the time. Looking at this picture, I'm thinking the same - someone could have been killed by that thing!

Just keep the valve clean and everything will be alright. Never open it before releasing all the steam.

On the how. My guess is that the release valve on top got stuck and instead of releasing preasure slowly so that it would whistle it just build up

This happened to my mother in the early 50's when pressure cookers were a craze. There was vegetable soup in between the plates stacked in the cabinet. Just lucky no one was in the kitchen when it happened.

I did this too but my cat was sleeping about 4 feet away from 'boom' so I had to also clean up what the surprise made him leave on the cutting board. No lid in ceiling for me but Widget (kitty) and I have lost our love for pressure cooker foods.

Had to be one of those old-fashioned ones we always heard about exploding. I don't think the electric ones have such danger as they seem to have more safety features built in.

Never had mine go that far but if the vent is blocked it can blow. Look through the vent for light before using and all will be fine. I could not do without my pressure cooker.

Aren't you suppose to take the pressure off when it starts to make the whistling sound and then lower the temperature? I always double check the covers, make sure it's lock tight the right way. But it always worries me so I don't use pressure cookers now.
