Worst kitchen fails? I had mine last night

So I got this electric pressure cooker that I bought as a Christmas present to myself.
Seemed pretty simple and I thought I had followed the directions clearly. From what I understand these things are fairly easy to operate (well I'm clumsy so there goes that)
So I put it on and everything seems to be going well. Make a quick run to the store to pick up some milk and I come back and the lid blew off and there was beef stew all over the kitchen. Floor, ceiling, refrigerator, stove, cabinets, dishwasher. Everything had stew all over it.
I guess I need to read the directions a little more carefully before I try this again.

There's a story about my papaw back in the day trying to cook a coon in a pressure cooker that turned out about like yours did. Mamaw was not too happy.

My dad did this w/ our old school pressure cooker 1 time. Shattered the ceramic top to the stove, dented the exhaust hood, and stew all over the kitchen.
Funny thing is...he's used that pot 100 times before with no problems.

Was she mad because he was trying to cook coon or because he messed it up?

I'm tempted to throw it in the dumpster and not even risk such an episode again.

My sister did the same thing, except with tomato sauce. Tomato sauce does not come out of an acoustic tile ceiling. Despite multiple coats of Binz, Kilz, etc, I think my parents STILL have a tomato sauce stain on their kitchen ceiling. It makes a ghostly reappearance every few years.

Isn't that what the Boston Marathon bombers used to create their explosion?

Interesting factoid re pots and pans. The pressure cooker was invented in 1679. It was 150 years afterwards that steam power was used as source of power and delivered the Industrial Age to mankind.

Google image "pressure cooker explosions" and look at what you get.
I was Director of QA for an ASME pressure vessel manufacturer for a few years. Even very small vessels are incredibly dangerous if they exceed rated pressure and blow.
Read the instructions before attempting to use it and don't do the things they say "don't do".
I hate bad kitchen messes. I'm also glad no one was injured at your house last night.
Someone said the Boston Marathon bombers used pressure cookers, and yes they did - just a powder explosion inside the cooker and not steam. A pipe bomb is the same concept.
Oh yes - never walk away from a pressure cooker while its doing its thing. If that little flutter weight on the top stops fluttering, remove the thing from the heat immediately, because its either out of liquid (and starting to burn), or something very bad is about to happen.

also, as a kid:
1. 3 Liter of Dr. Pepper falls on floor.
2. Dr. Pepper picked up and placed on dining room table.
3. Dr. Pepper opened.
4. Dining Room ceiling covered in Dr. Pepper.

I read about some woman who had her leg cut off by one in her kitchen a year or 2 ago. Scary!

This one wasn't terrible, but funny looking back on it.

2. Walk home to duplex i'm renting off jennifer jean.
3. Cook ramen noodles in microwave.
4. Grab hot bowl out of microwave.
5. drop Ramen all over the floor.
6. Get angry and throw fork onto highland road.

My dad was redoing some cabinet work in Gma's house before they sold it. While he was pulling ceiling cabinets out he found some split pea soup splatters from a very similar incident from 35 years prior.

I put lemon soap on some half shell redfish. I thought it was olive oil in an unmarked jar with a pourer. Ruined the night.

I'm terrified to use one. My mom has the old school one and keeps assuring me the ones made "these days" are idiot-proof. But nope. I'm just idiot enough to have something go wrong.
