Explosions at Boston Marathon

Oh and on pressure cookers they're really popular with Asian families

Scare me though.

Scare me though.

I can assure you I've never found a bomb in mine.

Not bombs, just they can explode on their own

@Shelf No they can't, unless they're very poorly maintained.  They have emergency pressure release valves, and as long as you keep it clear of debris it'll prevent that.  The valve even pops up slightly to tell you it'll work once the cooker is under pressure, and I always look for that to happen.

In fairness I also fear slow cookers.

My mother has a pressure cooker, but I'm not sure when she used it last.  I think the fucker's older than I am.

I just remember hearing that thing chugging on the stove like a frigging locomotive, and thinking, "Great...a roast".

Never used one. They also scare me in a domestic setting. I don't mind deep-frying in a wok though.

I also my rice cooker.

I don't trust anything cooking all day when I'm not home.  Even if she's hot.

My sister's like, "Well, if you don't want to leave the slow cooker on all day when you're not home, why don't you use it at night?"
Like I need to smell onion and potato pot roast at 4:15am.

A pan, some baking paper and an oven

Throw in a good book and some music and it's heaven.

YUO PEOPLE = cowards.

I did beef stroganoff in the slow cooker last week.  DELICIOUS.
