My mother let her pressure cooker go dry while she was in the basement doing laundry. It blew up as she was walking up the stairs. Chicken broth was dripping all over the kitchen ceiling. She could have been killed if she didn't go down stairs.
Thank goodness she left. Or maybe if she hadn’t left, she would have known it was dry? I don’t even know how to figure that out. I suppose if the pressure keeps going up and up. But then you have to be watching the pressure gauge.
I shouldn’t be thinking about this, now I’m not going to want to use my new canner
