Went to the emergency room yesterday after the InstaPot blew up on me. Just 1st degree burns and some awesome drugs. Bandages off today, a little tender but not bad.
Burns are my belly and my arm wrist to elbow including my thumb.
Totally worth the $250 copay going in!
PS: My wife was making soup and said the lid was steaming from the sides a bit. The pressure release valve wasn’t releasing pressure in either position and the lock plunger wasn’t doing anything. I figured no pressure so I’d just tighten it right and boom. Scary for a bit and hurt like hell for an hour. Lucky me for sure!
All I kept thinking is my granddaughter would have been standing there if she was over. So we’re getting rid of the pressure cooker. The risk isn’t with the convenience.
this is my nightmare. also looks like a design problem did they not compensate you?
I doubt there is anything at the end of a journey trying to get that from them. I’m just delighted no one else was hurt.
Oddly coming out of the burn unit it gave me a sense of glee compared to all the other shit that’s happened this year. Helped me see it’s not at bad which was nice.
