The manufacturers of pressure cookers don't have control over congress like the NRA does. Therefore, the GOP has no interest one way or the other.

Good. Frankly I am uncomfortable with cooking because so often it is expected that the woman must cook. Until we live in a society where household duties can be distributed equitably, I see no reason why the government should not deliver all meals pre-cooked.

Walmart as a -holes...Are they going to remove the kitchen knives from their shelves also? This is a cynical and stupid executive decision to create the illusion of "being a good corporate citizen" It's blatant unimaginative public relations mumbo jumbo. Walmart does not have a problem destroying the American manufacturing base and pulling millions of jobs out America...pressure cooker? What a joke...someone should put the brilliant Walmart PR guys head in a pot.

Since I work at a paid job 10 hours a day and the wife don't she can spend five minutes a day boiling hotdogs.

I like mine boiled, not microed. I am picky like that.

You should show her how to use the BBQ, they are way better that way.
And if you want a Mexican hot dog, you can skip the bun and use a corn tortilla. Extra delicious this way.

Besides, anytime anything is cooked under pressure, it is always under extreme stress.

I learned to cook because I like to eat good food. I do not care what society expects.

im glad i got my pressure cooker b4 the background check and its a beauty.
multi pork chop model with semi automatic quick cook for red beans and ham hocks.
a real beauty in the hands of someone who knows how to use it.
iron sights for excess steam release are highly accurate--- russian design after the mosin nagant m44.

Yes, it was a joke.

Careful!

I have it on good authority that the Department of Homeland Security has created a new database to track domestic pressure cookers. Additionally, if there is a ball-bearing or a nail anywhere within a 500 foot radius of your pressure cooker it is grounds to brand you a "terrorist" and detain you indefinitely in GITMO under Section 1021 of the National Defense Appropriations Act of 2011.
