No, it isn't.
If the bottom distorted then the metal has been weakened. I don't just think that you might have wrecked it, I can pretty much guarantee that if you continue to use it, it will rupture.
Metal fatigue + pressure == dead or injured former shroomer.
I know it sucks to throw out a PC but if you don't, you're basically saying your life is worth less.

Mybe not that radical but it could be like a cannon ball shoting across the room. Just not worth it to keep it around. Someone getting hurt,cops maybe called and the story goes on.

It is horrible to see how many people have fallen asleep and almost burnt their houses down. But I am in that category and am just glad I am not the only one who has done it.

i'm scared shitless of my PC. one day it will get the best of me.
i would NOT use it if it is warped.
if you do not care for your life by all means. Just think about it - weakened metal + tons of pressure inside the pot. it's just a bomb ready to explode.

I did the same thing. İt was 3 Am. I start to process and forgot to lock the pressure cooker. I boiled one hour then I realized there were no pressure. I start to process again about 4:15 Am , wait for a while to pressure come up and turn down the heater. I set up my cell phone alarm and fall a sleep. After 5 hours I get up. I was so tired and nothing could make me up. So, it was to late. Inside of the PC was completely black and cant clean it.
I called to factory and explain what happens. They offer me to chance PC with half price. I was lucky because my wife was not home and she did not know she's using new PC.

I always set 2 alarms to go off when the PC is done in case I don't hear one of them or something.If I think I may fall asleep I set my phone as well and keep it right with me just to be safe

OMG, just read everyone's posts, I now have a new found respect for my PC. Stoned and paranoid now. Lol
Well, that's it, PC's can kill and are obviously hazardous to the health, I suppose all of our wonderful governments will be making them illegal next.:D

Well I wasn't pcing but I was pasteurizing some poo and I feel asleep and the water ran out and it was now good. Woke up to a smoke alarm and a cloud of shit smelling smoke. My pc till this day after many of uses still has black like plastic substances stuck to the side. As for your pc toss it out it is not worth the risk.

This is one reason I will never PC anything if im tired, even with an alarm set I would sleep right through it.
This also makes me wonder if anyone has ever been killed by a PC.
