“Everyone in the world is presumed to know where Garden City and Cranston are.”

Yep. They’re in Amurrica....near Springfield, probly.

So what if Williams-Sonoma cannot do much about international terrorism ? They can’t win for losing apparently. At least management isn’t siding with the Muslims or covering for the people that did this. What they can do is make an overt attempt not only to support the victims but to diffuse the now intimate link between one of their products and bombmaking which most Americans didn’t even know existed a week ago.

STOP THE INANIMATE OBJECTS! STOP THE INANIMATE OBJECTS!

Ignore the Muslims who want you to submit or die.

My grammy used to use a pressure cooker all the time to cook her potatoes.
I can still hear that whistling steam sound....

In the last couple days, I’ve seen hoarding, and the supermarket shelves almost empty of the kind of vegetables you would normally load into a pressure cooker - celery, potatoes, onions, beans, etc. Only a few online sites have them now, and are limiting customers to small orders.

My wife loves her Technique Brand Pressure Cooker. Automatic, electric with voice instructions.

“Surprisingly my pressure cooker fell out of my boat as I was crossing our local lake to register it with the authorities. To bad, so sad.”

I’m wondering if i should turn in my pressure cooker or bury it.

It’s like Syfi pulling “Haven” because there was a murder at an adult high school reunion after Newtown.

They’ll not return to the shelves until each is embossed with a unique serial number - but that will just increase the resale value of older untraceable pressure cookers.

Oh, good-gravy!! It is simply impossible to ban any and all products that can be used as weapons.

You want to make society safe from bombers? Someone should get congress to make it a *Federal* felony to detonate a destructive device of *any* kind without first yelling, “FIRE IN THE HOLE” for ten *continuous* minutes in each direction.

There. Problem solved. Why do people have to make this so darn difficult?

Obviously, to you it is, but have you thought that it may not be, to them?

Why does this bother you so much?

Try a crockpot also. Cheap to buy and they do a GREAT job on those cheaper cuts of meat. MMMmmmmmmm! BBQ’ed beef!

> Isn’t that one of those high priced, yuppie kitchen stores

Try to find the store where your local restaurants buy their stuff. Ours is a big old warehouse about 40 miles away. We can get top-end stuff a little to a lot cheaper than the yuppie stores and it is serious professional quality.

They have stuff by the item or by the caseful. Ours also has parts — parts for blenders, food processors, pressure cookers, just about everything.
