Pressure Cookers

[jansman]

After this week ,after a pressure cooker - related incident, I felt like locking this thread! We make a lot of meat pies at work ,and previously we put 5 x 5 kg of diced beef into cook bags,and into the ham boiler over night. The boss bought a huge electric pressure cooker ,which has a 10 kg capacity ,and beef can be cooked in 35 minutes. Good piece of kit.

Yesterday,one of the cooks asked me for a ten kg batch of diced beef.When it was done she asked me to drop it straight into the pressure cooker. I did.Then she added the water.She and I didn’t realise that the pan had not been put in,and water and beef found its way through the electrics underneath.Whoops. I emptied it,took of the inspection plate underneath and cleaned it out,and dried it. That made the gaffer happy

Anyhow,I put it back together this morning,and it was fine. Told him it would be.

Done that once with the slow cooker fortunately it was dry stuff bar a bit of meat juice

Not just me then.

I did the same with the breadmaker. Luckily it was just the dry stuff. I'd already put the liquid in the pan. Note to self: always close the lid of the breadmaker when sorting out the ingredients.

I poured stock into the soupmaker, filled it up to the top mark, then realised the power cord and plug was still inside it

Several times,my gaffer has come to me because cooking oil has been poured over the plug to the fryers. Needed my multi tool to sort it. Reminded him of this ; yeah right.
