Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

This is a user issue, not a failure of the pressure cooker.
No, if the safety systems can fail like that for any reason it is the fault of the pressure cooker. Unless he intentionally broke the safety systems, or one of the systems was already known to be faulty and he continued to use it. It can never be acceptable for safety systems to fail.
Safe procedure is to let the pressure cooker cool down before trying to open it. Especially if the “release valve wasn’t working in any position”.

The point of safety is humans are not perfect. They need to prevent our stupidity in cases where we are likely to be stupid. This has long been known as one of those situations where people don't realize the danger and so we need to force the correct procedure. You cannot document/warn about an issue unless you can't do better in other ways.
He said he was trying to further close it, not open it while hot.
But there was no pressure control. If he did seal it further, it would have been a bigger bomb eventually.
A little of both, really. It shouldn’t have steam coming out of the sides and the release valves should release. I have one. It doesn’t seal well unless I push down on the lid for a bit. The float valve never seems to work properly.
That said, if I saw steam coming out of the sides I would just unplug it and step away.
What I should have done. But I wouldn't have this awesome story to share...
Oh and I forgot the winner of the evening was Rosie, one of our dogs. She immediately went to clean up mode...
Good dog💛
🐶🤎
Have a Rosie on standby. Lesson learned.
😂😂😂
I don't disagree...
