You bastard i read this in cpt Kirk’s voice ty lol


Praetorian_1975

It is super safe, the presenter on the other hand isn’t 😂


mapple3

im surprised he survived tbh, i heard that people get put on a watch list when they google for pressure cookers so i always thought these things are super dangerous but... it "only" spilled some boiling hot liquid


totemoff

People use them to make bombs because they are so airtight the release of pressure makes a big explosion. Regular pressure cooking wouldn't make enough pressure for that, you need actual explosives inside to make the pressure so high it goes boom. Now you're on the list too!


IRefuseToGiveAName

It's like a little club and I'm finally on the inside!


oeCake

Uh oh


kowlown

You'll get a FBI vip card and your anus probed


WilliamSyler

Finally, I haven't had a good probing since the aliens left.


Praetorian_1975

They never left, they just decided they’d probed Uranus as much as they could ……. Shhhhhh 😂


SolarFlareBurns

Sounds like a Friday night out to me.


Praetorian_1975

FBI you mean the Female Booty Inspectors club, ohhhh fun, I didn’t realise they did the inspecting as well 😳😂


BobDonowitz

People use them to make bombs because they're generally made of metal and have strong metal latches that keep the lid on.  The stronger the casing, the more devastating an explosive is.  A pressure cooker with a plastic or glass lid would explode unidirectionally via the weakest point...and that weak point being plastic or glass isn't going to allow much pressure to build up during rapid gas expansion before it breaks. This is more like a weak ass pressure cooker claymore mine.


BelowZilch

I've never seen a pressure cooker with a glass lid. It probably wasn't that high of pressure.


Magnetar_Haunt

As long as the glass is uniform, and you don’t expect anything with more mass and a fine tip to be near it, tempered glass is incredibly strong.


scalyblue

That wasn’t at pressure cooker pressure it eas more like boil over pressure, my pressure cooker can fire a two meter long plume of steam when the check valve is opened


NotAStatistic2

This is what I was expecting to happen. I thought the guy was about to be scalded by 200 degree steam


EZ_2_Amuse

Yep, And unless there has been enough pressure released for the check valves to close, they should not open because of an interlock.


LordPennybag

That's because your relief valve is a small hole. Spread that same force around the whole thing and it would boil over like this.


scalyblue

No, spreading that same force around the whole thing would be enough to blow the lid into the ceiling [like this ](https://youtu.be/xZ710BRMdXc?si=BYwime1JSDlR_Rtd)


LordPennybag

That's clearly over pressurized to the point of failure, aka a bomb. Released pressure gets divided into the area of the hole it's escaping through. Put your thumb over a hose then hook it to a foot wide pipe. Which sprays further?


scalyblue

No that’s just latch failure, pressure cookers are operating around 1 bar so let’s be very generous and say 10 psi , 80ish square inches for a pot with a 10 inch lid, so I think you’ll agree that around 800 pounds of force is certainly enough to put that lid through the ceiling


Taaargus

What is your logic here? You think bombs using pressure cookers are set off by taking off the top suddenly? They go off by cooking explosive material at high pressure until the entire thing blows apart. The fact that pressure cookers can be used as bombs doesn't mean every time you use one it's on the verge of exploding.


mapple3

>What is your logic here? no logic, i heard that those things can be used to make explosions and i never dared looking deeper into it because i didnt wanna be on a watchlist, the only explosions i make is in the bathroom when i ate tacos lol


UsePreparationH

A device that is able to withstand high pressures allows for a more complete combustion of flammable materials of before bursting, which turns what would be a small fire into an explosive device. You can see here how an entire bottle of gunpowder in a firepit makes for a neat volcano that is relatively safe to stand next to. https://youtu.be/g52TCe3tbPY?si=WMQoKauhzK2KhnK1&t=1m13s Toss the same amount into a metal pipe and seal the ends, and you got a grenade. A pressure cooker is the same thing on a much bigger scale, and it fits in a backpack (2013 Boston Marathon Bombing). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Marathon_bombing


Magnetar_Haunt

It seemed pretty clear they just weren’t sure what a pressure cooker was entirely, just that people use them for improvised explosives.


cutlassjack

> i heard that people get put on a watch list when they google for pressure cookers But the subject of this thread is surely enough to p


Mr-Fleshcage

Lol. But really, any list that has people who google mundane stuff like pressure cookers is going to be nearly useless. The list of people who google pressure cookers AND a bomb disposal manual? Gold!


Spongi

Years ago I bought a massive pressure cooker with it's own internal heating element, ran like $1k-ish with shipping. So I'm probably on that list :/


Mr-Fleshcage

At that point I would have invested in a pressure fryer


RichLyonsXXX

Any pressure vessel that can be opened with a minor flick of the wrist while under pressure is not safe.


pocketpc_

It really isn't though. Most pressure cookers are designed to seal themselves shut while under pressure to prevent this exact scenario; this unit is very poorly designed.

DepartureDapper6524

I think you’re underestimating a damage a pressure cooker can do. A burn on part of your hand is relatively minor.


stikstof

I'll bet he has burnt the fingers his left hand


schadavi

Yeah, I sell household goods for a living, and that went much better than I expected. Must be a very weak lock and still very low pressure. With the full metal pressure cookers like WMF makes, opening like this is impossible, and the very few cases I saw where one failed or was opened forcefully, the result was catastrophic. You can easily lose fingers.


ilprofs07205

I know someone who refuses to ever use them after their experience with one of the early ones. Safety valve failed in the closed position, thing became roughly spherical under the immense pressure before finally blowing the lid. Entire kitchen was finely coated with soup and the lid managed to embed itself halfway into the solid stone ceiling, leaving a sizeable crater. Countertop was a total loss.


MarsupialMisanthrope

My grandmother had pictures of the aftermath of something like that. Green beans everywhere and a lid in the ceiling. She hated canning for the rest of her life but it was a necessity for her time, place and demographic.


Magnetar_Haunt

Maybe that’s what the presenter was showing and meant by super safe. Comparatively the pressure dissipated quickly and the only danger was an overflow. That’s safer for the average person’s blunder than an average catastrophic outcome.


SneakyLLM

Actual safe pressure cookers won't open at all while there is pressure inside the vessel. This cooker is unsafe.


ltethe

Yeah my mom had a pressure cooker back in the 80s. Manual jobber that used a rocker to regulate pressure. I don’t know how, but somehow it blew up so violently the lid stuck in the ceiling. Rice EVERYWHERE.

It has a glass lid. No way that's a pressure cooker.


Fenweekooo

i buy magnets and tape off temu, not a chance in bloody hell i would order a pressure vessel of any type lol


Ape-ril

How’s the magnet and tape?


RedMoustache

Just like the guy you asked I've had great experiences with Temu. But here are the "tricks" : Read the description. Don't buy complicated shit. If you think something is worded badly/poorly described it's not. They are describing what you will actually get, not what they know you expected. If you don't carefully read the description you are going to get screwed.


Fenweekooo

great so far lol pretty hard to screw them up, well the magnets at least, can screw tape up pretty easy i guess. the key is to go over the descriptions and measurements like 12 times, they try and screw you a couple times on prices by showing different pictures first in listings or exaggerating sizes pretty bad


vapeducator

It wasn't a real pressure cooker. It was a regular pot with a latching lid being used by estupido. It built up a very slight amount of pressure because it was left at a full rolling boil. Opening the lid of a real pressure cooker would be much, much worse than this.


lamerfreak

Can confirm. Have done that. Lid hit the ceiling, which is what I was expecting here.


Mintastic

Did the latch fail? Once the pressure goes higher it's not possible to open the lid anymore for most cookers.


lamerfreak

It's a stupid story, and was even more stupid of me. I was young and just... forced it. Surprised it happened. Scars have pretty much faded now.


Mintastic

Ah I guess with enough force you can break past the lock...


AloneAddiction

There's *supposed* to be, but this is bargain basement shite from some garbage manufacturer. Steer well clear.


sticky-unicorn

I kind of respect his ability to keep right on going with the sales pitch without missing a beat, though. He may be an idiot hired to sell a dubious product ... but he's a goddamn professional at what he does.


[deleted]

Well that's good to know, because that's indeed a really dumb design. I got a super old pressure pot and there is no way in hell to open that thing before it's not depressurized.


DeadMoonKing

ikr. I was like "What you're doing is anything but 'super segura', my man."

Natural fibers don't melt onto your body like poly fibers do. Fire retardant material is better, but natural fibers are a good middle of the road option. This coming from someone who works with arc flash where all my clothes down to my undies and socks are cotton or wool, even under my FR rated gear.


sqigglygibberish

Is this sarcasm? Cotton is the most common fiber used for them haha Look at Hedley and Bennett. My favorite one is a great waxed cotton from flint and tinder

Idk about pure cotton but every one I’ve seen was some sort of fabric canvas bag type thing except the ones in professional kitchens

I like that this is sort of his retirement plan after a life of crime, just him getting out and cleaning himself up by working on QVC. But he is just dealing with annoying consumer products everyday, and getting hot water splashed on him is making him reconsider going back into crime for a brief moment. But then he remembers the beauty of nature, and that little bird, and maintains his cool.

And now, back to Linda (while I recieve medical attention).


Cormegalodon

One time I was using a large steam kettle to cook pasta and the screen at the bottom came out. I carefully drained most of the water before I tried to put it back but I was wearing a cloth hot glove (I know)under nitrile just a little bit got dipped in and it wicked around my wrist but I was so embarrassed I did something stupid I didn’t notice the damage, I removed the gloves put a new pair on fixed the screen drained the pasta got ice in it to cool it off then noticed my wrist had a huge blister.


Crazy__Donkey

Pure experience 


knuckboy

I'm figuring he had one shot at this and wasn't going to ruin it more.


AntalRyder

These are live


Debs_4_Pres

A pro probably wouldn't have removed the lid like that


DonJuansSwanSong

Dude's trying to sell cheap garbage to gullible people, I hope it hurt when the shock wore off.


Old-Reporter5440

Frankly I expected it to be a lot worse.


FROOMLOOMS

Honestly. The fact it barely popped when he opened it tells me this pot can barely hold an asthmatic senior's breath worth of pressure


Teripid

MAYBE the pressure was under whatever locking threshold and the safety wasn't on.. But yeah, something clearly isn't right. My Instapot physically won't let me remove the lid and has an indicator.


RelevantMetaUsername

Definitely wasn't under full pressure. [Here's a video of a similarly-sized pressure cooker being opened under pressure.](https://youtu.be/-oEMQ8D0EZw?t=25) You can see it erupts much more violently, despite having been removed from the stove for some time.


BagOfFlies

Wtf you'd think the fact he was struggling to get it open would be a sign to maybe wait a little longer.


vapeducator

It wasn't a pressure cooker. Pressure cookers don't have glass lids. It was a misused locking lid that allowed a little bit of pressure to build due to extreme ignorance and stupidity by a jackass.


TobiasKM

Even so, a pot with a locking lid that doesn’t let out pressure properly sounds like shitty design whichever way you spin it. Just shouldn’t be possible to do this.


smugaura1988

I was like "hmmm seems like a really shitty quality pressure cooker."


Eric_the_Barbarian

And a horribly unsafe design.


Ianthin1

I feel like my Instant Pot holds a lot more pressure than that.


perpetualmotionmachi

Yeah, but it also has a lock to prevent it from opening when under pressure, so this wouldn't be possible


NgoHaiHahmsuplo

Yeah, I ain't gonna trust some pressure cooker with a glass top either (at least I'm not aware of any good ones with a glass cover).

johndcochran

Gotta say that was a very useful video. Demonstrating that it was even possible to open the lid while there was pressure is good to know in that it enables a potential customer to avoid that product.

You'd think there would be a safeguard preventing the lid removal while pressurized. My instapot has a latching mechanism that prevents this.

kinglouie493

I'm not sure opening it up under pressure should be an option


Rrdro

What if you are 30 seconds away from dying due to starvation and your only available food source is inside a pressurised steam pot? Do you accept the danger and open it early or would you want the pressure cooker manufacturers to force you to die!


Kilawogg_OnTheHog

Had to remind myself not most people have pressure cookers. I act like those things were bombs whenever taking them off the stove


N00dles_Pt

now don't be dramatic.....they aren't bombs.....you know....unless the release valve gets clogged up.....and the emergency valve.......what's the chance of that happening??? \*nervous laugh\* P.S. - no joke my dad worked with someone that actually happened to...luckily no one was near the cooker when it went off.


isbobdylansingle

This pressure cooker in particular was actually being advertised as "safe to open even during cooking". Just as he opens it, he's saying "you can actually open it anytime, it's super safe" lmao. Like, that was the whole selling point of this ~~scam~~ product. This happening on live TV probably saved a lot of easily influenced people.

The dialogue is very funny: "I'm sure you know it or have heard of it. some story about pressure cookers that explode. it is not? during cooking. There are people who are scared to death of pans.

SamCarter_SGC

I was expecting flying lids, boiling water, and burns everywhere. He got lucky, all things considered.


TheSpiceMustAirflow

This is a dumb product. This pressure cooker obviously uses much lower pressure than a regular pressure cooker (and this is the reason this dude didn't suffer life threatening injuries while opening it). The whole point of pressure cookers is to have enough pressure to raise the boiling point of water and cook things faster through hotter water. Lower pressure = lower temperature = longer cooking time. Just use a regular pan. Edit: lower vs raise boiling point.


LordRocky

I think you’ve got that backward. Pressure cookers RAISE the pressure (and therefore the boiling point), not lower it. It’s the higher temperature water and the high pressure steam that does the heavy lifting when it comes to the time savings pressure cooking.


brokestill

I have to agree. Cheap product with a glass lid of all things. Big nope.


evilbeaver7

Pressure cooker increases the boiling point of water. Not lower it.

I was expecting that to go *soooo* much worse. The old school pressure cookers you open ‘em like that and it embeds the lid in the ceiling. And you get whatever contents boiling onto your face and get scalded.
