Summary of using the Diesel ignition process to prepare foodstuffs faster.

Although the Diesel ignition process has proven to be more efficient for converting chemical fuel energy into mechanical motion than typical external combustion processes have shown so far it has proven to be a less than satisfactory alternate method of heating foodstuffs than the typical application of external combustion we are more familiar with.

I fixed my pressure cooker so that the steam doesn't escape. At least it worked for awhile!

"Canning enthusiasts commenting on the image noted that while debris from equipment was scattered throughout the scene in the photograph, the splattered food one would expect to see if a pressure cooker malfunctioned was curiously absent."

If it doesn't get picked up by the TV news, we can always try for "Renovation Realities".

Been wanting to redo the kitchen anyway!

Often said that if you remember the sixties you weren't there.That picture gives a whole different explanation.

I remember having one, and hiding in another room while it did it's thing. It was the same era when I had a kettle that was placed on the stove and whistled. Nostalgia just isn't what it used to be.

Been there. Done that. (Refer to beans in the pressure). Actually the safety plug blew out spraying this bean texture all over the ceiling. Then the question was do we paint over it or scrape it off.

Receipt for making "Haute Cusine": Put food and a cup of water into a pressure cooker. Seal the lid and cement the vent shut with solder Put the pot on the burner at high temp. Leave the room until you hear a loud bang. Return and shut off the stove, . Scrape the food off the ceiling and eat. Also, remove the lid embedded in the ceiling so it doesn't fall on your head some day.
