[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 454087, member: 1233"] Not in this lifetime, sweetie! While there are things I LOVE about the Cincy area, I just could not live there again. I LOVE where I live now and have since I moved here as a young teen. Pressure cooker warning: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not use an old pressure cooker unless it is in PERFECT shape.

Explode and ruin your kitchen and self type unsafe. Do not ever buy one from a thrift store or yard sale unless you are super familiar with them and know what to check.
