Saw this as I was surfing...

Not sure I would use this....

I would LOVE something like this as a display piece!!

Cast iron pressure cooker of four quart capacity, with latches to secure the lid and steam release safety valve in centre of lid, made by E Pugh and Co of Wednesbury, Staffordshire. This is an example of a very early pressure cooker, which would have been an expensive novelty purchase. Although the pressure cooker was invented by Frenchman Denis Papin in 1681, they didn't become popular household appliances until the mid 20th century.

Have seen a few on Aussie eBay over the years but none in as good condition as that one.

Back in the days prior to cheap mass produced broiler chicken, these units were great for tenderizing old boilers from the backyard chook house. Wink
