32. My wife had that same fear instilled in her as a teenager

She was at her grandmother's place and grandma had turned on the her pressure cooker to make a meal. My wife heard what she thought was a gunshot. She didn't witness the lid blow off the pressure cooker but she arrived seconds later to witness it embedded in the ceiling. Fortunately grandma was okay.

The amount of steam that comes out of the Instant Pot for a couple of minutes after the meal is done is an indicator of that extremely high pressure. Hopefully there's never a defect!
