The other day I boiled a whole chicken in the pressure cooker. When it was done, I turned off the heat, and after several minutes later removed the weighted cap. I was using a fork, and was ready to replace the cap in the event chicken broth started to vent.
Unfortunately, I dropped the cap, and just then liquid chicken started to vent skywards. It took the dog about 0.01 seconds to smell the chicken, and he was right there trying to thwart my efforts at capping the gusher. After about 30 seconds, I got the lid back on, and I think that the dog had cleaned up the floor about a minute after that. He had a look on his face as if he had died and gone to doggie heaven.
"It's raining chicken". He was thinking.
Now every time I use the pressure cooker, he is right there. Waiting.

My mom basically only used her pressure cooker once -- in 1949. We were in Arkansas and she wanted to cook beans quicker than the old fashioned boiling method. They powered their way up to the ceiling and left a 2 ft stain, which was pointed out to all of our visitors. She still had the cooker when she died, but I think it only got used to hide candy from us kids.

Obviously, not a secure hiding method, if all of the kids knew what it was used for.
