I had a Prestige pressure cooker about 40 years ago. My Mum always used one so why shouldn't I?
My comeuppance came one Christmas Day steaming a Christmas pud for after dinner. There was a huge bang, the weights flew off and I didn't know what was happening. My fault - I hadn't put enough water in the pan and it had steamed itself dry. The bottom of the pan was as domed as the lid and that was the end of that.........and the pudding!
I've also had the frothing up through the valve experience when cooking split peas. A dash of oil or butter in the water helps to keep the froth down.
I have a Tower pressure cooker now but have been thinking about one of the automatic pressure release models.
I'll see what TMTT's unpronounceable one looks like!
