well, an this is also dangerous, i know now. One day i was gonna fry some chicken like the colonel does; so, i put bout a cup an a half in my preassure cooker, put the lid on it an proceeded to get the oil hot, a couple of mins later i heard a bang, what had happened was the lead safety plug had blown out an went thru the ceiling ( glad i was at the camp ) no one had ever told me you DON`T put cookin oil in a pressure cooker, glad no one was with me, since then i have bought a pressure fryeroff e-bay; please don`t try what i did it DON`T work...........rick
