Bread's Curse
So A Friend Of My Girlfriend Made A Cake For Her Daughters Birthday Party. One Of The Kids Started Crying Because It Was So Ugly
Pressure Cooker Nightmare
Electric ones are much safer, they self-regulate and therefore rarely explode.
Load More Replies...Thanks for making me go back... didn't spot the lid engraved in the ceiling 😂😂😂
Load More Replies...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!!
True. I don't even understand how that could happen?
Load More Replies...This is why I am terrified of them! I will keep cooking my dried beans for 192 hours thank you very much.
This is why I don't want a pressure cooker. Life goes on without it, really well.
they do, but some of us make make a habit of not reading our new toys' instructions before using them.
Load More Replies...Whoa!!!!! THat is just scary! And the money they tried to save by using a cheaper cut of meat will go toward a new kitchen!
Oh come on guys....this one is epic! I can't stop laughing....this one is the winner. This is worthy of something I could do!
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
I cook with pressure cookers all the time--this pic looks staged
My mother did just that! I got home from school just as the fire brigade arrived!
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.
This happened to my mom once when I was a child. She was cooking beans. We had beans embedded into the ceiling like stray bullets. Some of them never came out.
OMG - and on all the cooking shows they tell you not to be afraid of the pressure cooker.
The only way this happens is if you leave it unattended . New cookers have so many safety features .
Glenda Blair! This is what I expect every time I see you get that pessure cooker out!
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.
Since I left home...37yrs ago ...never liked or wanted a pressure cooker. Here's one of the reasons why.
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.
I got one for wedding gift and I was to scared to use it, and that was years ago.
Scary.....I have an electric perssure cooker, works well till today with minimal human fault.
I think I have just wet myself....sorry this is sooo funny, but not for you of course...poor thing. If I ever want a new kitchen I know what to do now.
this is how i fear things will end every time i pressure cook something
That's why I don't use them. Scared to death of this happening especially when my hand is on the handle.
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.
My mum had one and I was terrified of it when it blew its top! Never ever wanted one since!
I wanna know how this happened and how long it had to be on for this to happen
And that's why I would never ever use a pressure cooker. The name of them is more than enough for me. Give me a slow cooker any day!
Why I don't use one, I watched one blow up when my mother was using it...57 years ago and I still can see it!
An Instant Pot would never do that. Looks like the oven was on its last legs....
ah yeah ... a pressure cooker explosion. had one too, but wasn't this drastic :D just had a bit of a stew fountain ...
This happened to my Grandmother many years ago!!! We were peeling carrots, green beans, etc. off the ceiling for a while!!!!!! My Grandmother had a small cut on her elbow from the lid.
HOLY C**P!! Pressure cookers should banned just like assault weapons....you're lucky it didn't kill you!
Oh God, Please Kill Me

I love how many of these there are, makes me feel so much better about my kitchen fails!
For me it's the opposite. They make me sad because I know how much time and effort you put into.... A failure..... TT_TT
Load More Replies...I don't really cook myself. The biggest fail that ever happened to me was when I made eggs with sugar instead of salt
Look, I don't care that the instructions for the frozen pizza says to put it directly on the rack. PUT IT IN A PAN OR ON A COOKIE SHEET! The instructions are stupid. You wouldn't have a mess in your oven if you had just put it on a cookie sheet at the very least!
reminds me of the time I was looking through the bad reviews (dont ask, its something i do {after i make it ;)} and someone gave this cinnamon roll recipe i had made 6 times (it was amazing btw) a 1-star review because.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... get this: their oven set on fire..........................................like, um i think thats ur fault not the recipe
If you substitute ingredients or don't use them at all, what do you expect? C'mon, short cuts and hacks don't always work. Also, I agree, no under the influence cooking...er, burning.
Okay, I may be easily amused, but I laughed way too hard at some of these. If you get as far as number 35, I actually have a houseguest do that to me one time. You think the cord would've been a dead giveaway...
Too many folks use the wrong ingredients for all those failed cake pictures--using squeeze tube "frosting" instead of the stiffer stuff from the cans. Or using frosting instead of fondant. Using cheap readi-whip instead of whipped cream. etc.
I kinda regret not taking pictures of my kitchen fails. the most spectacular was when I forgot to put the sieve inside an old-school espressomaker. the kitchen was freshly renovated - which we were celebrating with dinner. And then with a lengthy clean of the coffee covered kitchen. I still remember my friend shaking the stuff out of her hair...
Do any of these people actually bother reading the recipe or the instructions on the cooking equipment?
