The newer ones don’t explode. One of their best features.
One of my daughters tested this, and no it didn’t blow up. However it did erupt a food spray out the safety gasket hole that reached the ceiling and sprayed a fine mist all over the kitchen until the pressure cooker cooled off enough to stop. It was much better than blowing up, but the mess was astonishing. Picture putting food juices in a paint sprayer and painting your kitchen with it and you have some idea.
How is that possible?
Just Don’t run one dry on an electric stove, you can exceed the melting point of Al. Even the nanny state can’t protect you from all pilot error. I have pressure cooked for many tears with no problem.
For this reason I would recommend a stainless steel cooker.
The newer ones are made in China...
