First shroom experience

You can find pressure cookers at the goodwill too. If you are really hard up on cash you can switch the labels around and give yourself a discount. I never feel bad about ripping them off since they get everything for free.

be VERY careful using a used pressure cooker. If it was dropped, if the seals are old, if it was overheated you might have a compromised vessel.

even the normal, continuous use of a cooker can weaken the integrity.

you do NOT want any sort of burst involving 15 lbs per square inch with the contents being 250 degree water flashing into steam.

I had a safety seal fail. My wife was moving the cooker to another burner when it went south.
if she had been in a slightly different proximity to the breach she would have been horribly burned.

the noise was frightening, it seemed to go on for ever, the paint on my ceiling came off and though there can't have been but half a gallon of water or less, the floor was covered with steamy water.

then of course the bags burst so I had grainy mucky water and crud left in the pot.

if you don't know what you are doing, be extra careful with used equipment.

Whoa, makes me want to throw mine away. It looks good though, no dings and the rings have zero tears.

Good heads up though. Never even crossed my mind that they might be dangerous.

its the ENVIES that are dangerous!!! MUhahahahahahah
