Pressure cookers are great, and the newer ones have at least 3 failsafe mechanisms, making them a lot safer than the old jiggler type cookers. Also, you can make risotto in a pressure cooker in 6 minutes. It's worth it just for that.

My pressure cooker is nearly as old as I am (40) and it has two different safety mechanisms built in. It's a Presto. In that photo, I suspect (if it's real, which I'm not sure of) that what happened is, someone opened the pot without depressurizing it. The sudden expansion of steam caused havok. But there's so much damage to the stovetop that there would have to have been failures in the release mechanisms (which is itself tough to have happen accidentally: they're generally very simple, of the form of "if pressure gets high enough, this rubber plug pops out") because holy hell that's a lot of force applied to that stovetop. It seems a lot more likely the more I look at it that that is a staged photo, perhaps for a safety campaign or a movie.

Phanatic posted:Why do only old people want to cook food at higher temperatures and less time than in a regular pot? Because young people grew up with hot pockets. Convenience food. In some cases their parents also grew up with microwave convenience food, and nobody knows how to use anything as arcane as a pressure cooker. Recently my mom was hit by a car and for a while had people from a local health authority contractor coming in twice a day to help her with her medication, clothes, making her bed, and supposedly cooking her dinner. The trouble was that most of them didn't know how to cook anything. One of them failed to make canned soup. Didn't realize you were supposed to add a can of water to the can of glop, and apparently didn't read the clear instructions printed on the side of the can. She basically had to stand next to them and talk them through how to do anything, at which point she might as well do it herself. Eventually she gave up and just had them make a token peanut butter sandwich, and she'd make herself something else after they left.

I'm in my 30's and I have two pressure cookers and a slow cooker that get used a lot. The pressure cookers are newer and have a hole in the lid stopped with a hard, rubber seal. If the pressure gets too high the rubber seal pops off and steam exits the hole in the lid. Even with all of that I do not leave the kitchen when the pressure cooker is cooking.

Platystemon posted:Huh. My understanding had always been pressure cooker failure meant superheated water being shot around the kitchen, not an actual explosion. If the safety valves fail (and I *think* I see evidence of two of them in the picture) and you have a really good seal, the pressure will simply build until something integral to containment fails. In this case, whatever secured the lid failed. The force that shot the lid up is also acting on the bottom of the pot, pushing it into the stovetop.

Ribs in a pressure cooker for 20 minutes with some beef stock and then 15 minutes in the oven with some sauce is pretty loving incredible, when you don't have 4 hours to do the ribs at 200 degrees it's a drat good substitute.

Pop goes the weasel when you fill a house like a methane balloon and light it. I'm on my phone and searched 'meth explosion' to compare with Magikarp's shed picture, and this residential scene came up. I can't follow google image results to their source from mobile google. I looked because that story of someone's boyfriend working on a lawnmower sounded fishy. Because it's always the boyfriend cooking meth in the shed.

There's a much more enjoyable example from my city: http://www.news.com.au/national/cafe-explosion-insurance-job-coroner/story-e6frfkp9-1225766729121 quote:A MASSIVE explosion that destroyed a city cafe and killed its owner was deliberately ignited to cash in on a $300,000 insurance policy, the Coroner's Court has ruled. Sadly I can't find a picture of the cafe chair that was blown through the first-floor (second-floor in US) window of the building opposite. Arson protip: don't wait before lighting the petrol you've poured all over the floor.
