An aura comes towards me

Someone's changed the formula

The structures, the colors
Uniform chaos is alternating

If it has a rocker type weight that sets on a little outlet - on the lid...............IT CANNOT EXPLODE. Since that releases pressure. To much pressure would simply whistle like a steam engine & flop the weight off.

But, if you run it DRY, it can warp, melt or crack the PC.


I know, I know. Its just alot of pressure to be messing around with.

Moe had a story about cooking out doors.
i think he was using a propane turkey fryer or something lick that.
Well, that blowup nearly cost him an ear, and his wife chewed the rest of it off :lol:
But, seriously, inspect your PC for flaws (like i don't),follow manufacturer's instructions, (like i don't) and then, you will be  safe.. :thumbup:

A close friend of mine had a PC blow up on him. I don't know what model it was or anything...I just knew it was a piece of shit.

He was getting into the "hobby" and thought he got a great deal cuz he picked it up at a garage sale for $5.

After I looked at the thing, you could see that the seal had obvious cracks in it because the rubber was so old and worn out, and the steel ring that the lid clamped onto were pretty bent up, and the lid didn't really fit snugly on it.

I told him over and over again that the thing was a piece of shit and he is just looking at a time bomb. He is one of those really hard headed people that will not listen to anyone else's advice(has to see everything for himself).

Long story short, he bent back the steel ring for the lid with a hammer and decided it was ok to use.

he then decided to PC his jars with it.

a couple days later, I got a phone call from his GF telling me the thing blew up and he was in the hospital. I guess the lid blew off the thing and hit him in the head while he was standing near it.

A lot of water flew out of it as well.

He wound up spending a day in the hospital with a concussion, and 2nd degree burns on his face from the hot water.

needless to say, that was the 1st and last time he tried to cultivate. He now has a couple of scars on his face from where the burns were.


I don't want to make you guys scared of PCing, but just use common sense. If the pc you have looks visibly damaged, throw the thing out, or get the propper NEW replacement parts. Saving a few dollars is not worth risking your health.

Because they are steamers, not presure cookers.

Beware of pressure cookers! They are the explosive wrath of satan!

Have you heard of the bikini atoll? That wasn't a hydrogen bomb, that was a PRESSURE COOKER!!!

A rather careless Japanese man fell asleep while cooking with a pressure cooker one day decades ago, and I'm sure you've all seen what it did to hiroshima.

Sadly, he had just given the recipie for what he was cooking to a friend of his, of even lesser intellect, living in nagasaki. Same scene repeated.

Beware!!!

:rofl:

I was scared of my pc at first too. I was hidding around the corner peaking into the kitchen as I was too afraid get close. Just spend the money and get a good quality pc and don't fall asleep while using it and you'll be fine.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but is this true Agar?  I have an old Mirro with the rocker top.  I get nervous around it, b/c its kind of a hunk of old shit I got from eBay for cheap.  It hasn't failed me yet, and I use it a lot. 

But...what you're saying is that the rocker top would blow off before the thing would blow up, right?

Also, wouldn't a bad seal REDUCE the chances of an explosion?!?! In every other instance I can think of, bad seals = reduced pressure.

Has anyone ever had a rocker-top type PC blow up?
