My family (mainly Sue) gets nervous whenever I use the instant pot because they think I’m going to open it up too soon and blow up our house. Not this time! Survived another soup making experience.

@iChris visiting friends we heard an explosion in the kitchen. Lentil soup on every surface. The metal safety plug was missing. They found it a week later. It had shot through the ceiling to the upstairs bedroom, where their toddler was sleeping peacefully. The moral? Live dangerously!
