Cooking under Pressure

A funny thing happened just now. I was making soup in my pressure cooker (this is about the fourth time I have used it). Being a bit hasty I let the steam out instead of letting it coold down (I didn't want the veggies too soft)... but not enough! It exploded out of the pot and all over the floor. Thankfully I was being cautious and held it away from me or it wouldn't be a funny story, rather a tragic one that I wouldn't be able to share because my hands would be covered in second and third degree burns...I believe I am blessed! Now I get the insane job of cleaning up. Yippee!!!
