wouldn't say it failed. lots of people are using pressure cookers. it's just a bit too complex for most people. i got one for pasteurizing. afterwards i occasionally used it for cooking but even i found it often a bit difficult to estimate how long you have to cook something at a given pressure setting. with normal pot you just lift the lid and take bite or poke around with a fork to find out.
