 TIL that many people are scared of pressure cookers. This phobia does not have a name so I'm considering labeling it pyropodophobia. 

Combination of fire and enclosed places. 
 I think I am one of those people. We fear what we do not understand. 🤣 
 Life hack, more pressure reduces cooking time and heat required 😁 
 I remember the first time we used a pressure cooker wife an I were freaked out. 
 I grew up hearing the psh psh psh psh so I just have homey meal feelings around it... I'm learning a lot seeing from y'all's eyes 
 Ya, we didn’t like that noise. We were more thinking we are going to die in a violent explosion, or a burn our faces off with molten liquid. 
 you must terrain your mind 

psh psh psh psh = muy delicioso  
 now i actually need a pressure cooker.
