I got big one from great granny who taught me the way of preservation jihad. Here she is preparing for self loading.

Better not let Frankenfeinstein find that out. She’ll have the jackbooted goose steppers knock you to the floor and confiscate it.

I remember the rattling, hissing, clattering noise my Mom’s PC made when she was cooking in it - the little steel weight dancing around on the steam vent spigot on the lid.

We haven’t used one in over 40 years.

If a grain of rice or something got stuck in the spigot and the lead safety plug didn’t let go in time (which would scare the hades out of us and shoot a hole in the kitchen ceiling when it did) those things could blow your kitchen - and anyone hanging around the stove - up pretty good.

Scary thing is, many common items can be used as containments for IEDs. Stuff that could be left in plain sight and no one would give a second thought to. Most of it commonly available, or even scroungable from a dump or junk yard.

Evil people will always find something to hurt others with - prisons being an ideal example of the most restrictive, controlled environments where lethal weapons and drugs commonly show up.
