Have you Tinkled Today?

Well kids today I decided to test my Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker and see just how safe it really is… NOT! The truth is, I was busy working on that blasted Summer Wine block applique upstairs, and I forgot that I started the pressure cooker… in the old days, a recipe for disaster!

I thought I heard a noise, and popped my head into the stairwell, where I heard this frantic hissing noise… which immediately struck fear into my heart!

I raced down the stairs (it’s amazing, being the clutz that I am, that I didn’t wind up killing myself) and slid into the kitchen, where I came to an abrupt and fearful stop in front of the stove. There my 7.5 quart pressure cooker sat in a frenzy, with the safety valve furiously pumping steam out through the release valve (I had no idea it went that high) but by golly it worked! No explosions, no kitchen disasters, no trips to the emergency room.

Kuhn Rikon, I salute you! You were designed for idiots like me.
