<Sigh> Modern pressure cookers designed for home use are COMPLETELY different 
from the commercial cooker which seems to have everyone over reacting. If you 
follow the manufacturer's instructions no harm will come, Christianna.

Methinks that the horror story referencing commercial pressure cookers has 
taken an inappropriate jump into the home cooker arena with the resulting 
inappropriate application of worries surrounding  commercial cookers. :-( I 
think you are over reacting, my dear friend.
