When dinner sounded like it was going to explode.

My sisters and I had a whole special dance routine to this sound. 🤣
Dreamfox37@reddit
The little plug thing on top broke off of ours while my mom was cooking beans. It jumped off the stove and did a breakdance on the floor, spraying superheated bean sludge all over the walls and ceiling while my mom watched in horror and i laughed my ass off.

My family’s broke while making mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving. We had mashed potatoes sprayed all over the ceiling.
kahrahtay@reddit
How and why are you making mashed potatoes in a pressure cooker?
Brighter_Days_Ahead4@reddit
The potatoes were cooked in the pressure cooker, and we intended to mash them afterwards. The pressure cooker accident caused them to be self-mashing.
kahrahtay@reddit
I guess I just don't understand why. Potatoes can cook in normal boiling water in like 15 minutes.
SubstanceNo1544@reddit
Less if you cut them into smaller peices....
freddbare@reddit
Shoot...last thanksgiving I baked mine for three hours and they were not done....
kahrahtay@reddit
The only way that's possible is if you forgot to turn on the oven
freddbare@reddit
I wish... I big ceramic casserole dish of cheesy potatoes,sliced all thin
kahrahtay@reddit
3 hours is still long enough to strain credulity. Either way though if you want it to go faster next time though, after you slice the potatoes, parboil them for a few minutes before you put them in the casserole dish
freddbare@reddit
This is what was needed... And not refrigerated near frozen ingredients...it was a lesson.
Brighter_Days_Ahead4@reddit
I also don’t understand but my mom prefers to cook them in the pressure cooker.

This sounds like an awful mess but I love the way you worded this comment.
APOC_V@reddit
Ours didn’t jump off the stove but when it went it painted the ceiling green with a full load of butter beans!

My grandmother left it to cook for too long and the lid blew off and slammed against the ceiling. I've been mildly terrified of these things ever since.

I didn't check the comments before I commented, but I feel for you- I think I love you!

Which MJ song had the most shka shka's
Connection-Terrible@reddit
I thought my mom and my grandma was alone in this. I hate my stupid instapot and feel like it’s bullshit. I miss the roasts made in these.
FungiStudent@reddit
Pot roast should never be made in a pressure cooker. The evaporation and concentration of the juices is essential for a good roast.
Connection-Terrible@reddit
Don’t know what to tell you man. I have had hundreds of meals like that, though not for a long time.
tettoffensive@reddit
This was not part of my childhood at all. Didn’t ever see a pressure cooker until I was an adult and got into cooking.

A picture you can hear

This sound instantly transports me back to my grandparents’ house.

Fallsfrostdew@reddit
To this day I refuse to use pressure cookers. They terrify me
My grandma would tell me this story how one exploded and nearly killed my grandpa and that just stuck in my head as them being unsafe. So even not 35 odd years later the idea of cooking with pressure terrifies me.
deephurting66@reddit
I still use mine
JasonZep@reddit
These always scared the crap out of me. Somehow I feel like my instant pot is safer.
-OccultOfPersonality@reddit
It’s is safer. Analog pressure cookers can be bombs
toomuchtv987@reddit
Quite literally, in the case of the Boston Marathon.
FungiStudent@reddit
Oh yeah I forgot about that.
PlagueDrWily@reddit
Same here; I knew not to go near the stove when my parents were cooking but they drilled it into me to stay far away from the kitchen when the pressure cooker was going - I assume one or both had a bad experience growing up. I was still a little leery of using an Instant Pot when they became available but the convenience made me get over my paranoia.
Puglet_7@reddit
Same. But if my IP dies, I feel like I could go try the old style.
OkBaconBurger@reddit
I don’t worry about my instant pot and damn I use that thing a lot.
shadowanna@reddit
My dad was cooking chicken in it when it exploded. We found chicken skin hanging from the dining room ceiling and the topper shot through the kitchen window! Wild day!
icanhaztuthless@reddit
Haha! Our childhood pressure cooker had one of those massive weights on it that would spin until enough pressure caused it to bounce around the orifice with a cha cha cha.
These days, instapot pressure cooker ftw
midnight-dour@reddit
I have never seen one in real life.
FlyingAnvils@reddit
I still use a pressure canner for green beans and also different meats. Love that sound.
SunshineInDetroit@reddit
Pressure cookers are fantastic
FemaleMishap@reddit
My wife won't let me buy one. In her childhood home someone was making carrot and turnip in one, and it shot the weight into the ceiling and created a carrot fountain. Like a bit of carrot got stuck in the pressure release valve until it couldn't hold it in any longer. Then PSSSHHHHHH fucking carrot everywhere.
Imaginary_Ad_9682@reddit
Smells like corned beef and cabbage. Only time my mom ever used it.
absentlyric@reddit
I still have a larger one and still use it for jars as they can't fit into my modern instapot
Foolsandfanatics@reddit
My mum had an ancient one, and changed the gasket. She used to set it up to make stew, and then we'd all go hide in the basement and watch tv in case it exploded.
peekaboooobakeep@reddit
Had a bf who's parent probably had dementia, and he was a last minute kid with siblings old enough to be his parents. That parent was pressure cooking and it exploded all over them right before prom, it was rough. Parent also burned leaves inside the house? Idr exactly but parent burned half the house down.
PoolRamen@reddit
This sound has come back into my life thanks to the Ninja Foodi
None of these new-gen multicookers generate the pressures those used to tho
sahurley@reddit
I can smell the pork and cabbage.
