FWIW modern pressure cookers aren’t your grand-parents’ and are much much much safer. They’re awesome to cook stuff for a fraction of the time and energy you’d need using conventional cooking methods, they can sterilize stuff, and make preserves quicker. Modern ones have thick bodies unlikely to ruptured, run at less than 2 atmospheres (I think 1.3?), have a pin that comes up when pressurized so you can’t open it until it’s fully depressurized, and a safety grommet that will shoot up and depressurize the cooker should the rocker’s exhaust be clogged.
