Williams-Sonoma pulls pressure cookers from store shelves

[who?]

A pressure cooker can do in 1 hour what takes a slow cooker 6 or 12 hours. The electronically controlled ones go up to pressure, stay there for the time you programmed then shut themselves off so you don't have to monitor them.

 

[Kadarin]

How many of you regularly cook with pressure cookers, or know someone who does? 🙄

Are you suggesting that we should ban assault pressure cookers?

 

[ch33zw1z]

Well, they're not advertising the fact, it's the whiners that are publicizing it for them. Good job!

lol...ok dude, keep thnking that.

 

[sdifox]

Which dumbass wannabe terrorist would buy from such overpriced store?

 

[dabuddha]

so much retardation in that decision lol

 

[Fingolfin269]

wow

 

[soulcougher73]

PC run amuck.

Any pressure cookers with military-style digital readouts and military-style latches should be considered "assault" and should be banned.

We need a Courage award. ATOT should design the trophy.

 

[waggy]

bwhahah fucking major over reaction.

pressure cookers are great (i have a old one. mom used to can all the time). besides canning you can make stuff faster.

lol...ok dude, keep thnking that.

Link to William Sonoma saying anything about it publicly outside someone calling the store? Oh wait, keep spreading the crying. Only ATOT.

And from this article - http://redalertpolitics.com/2013/04...ookers-from-shelves-following-boston-bombing/

“It’s a temporary thing out of respect,” the store manager said.

Pressure cookers are still available on the Williams-Sonoma website, and other Boston-area stores that sell the cookers are keeping their shelves stocked, according to Patch.

Pre-ban pressure cookers are skyrocketing in value!

 

[waggy]

bwhahahha respect? how is pulling pressure cookers showing respect? they didn't kill anyone. its a object a tool to cook/can (hmm canning).


I find it insulting that they would do that actually. It was 2 men that killed those people (still shocked only 3 died from the blast) not a pressure cooker. it was just a tool used.

Never fear, Williams Sonoma is protecting us from the dangers of sealable metal objects.

My guess would be if you say the word "pressure cooker", what do you think right now in the Boston area?

who cares? its A FUCKING TOOL. nothing less nothing more. just as the ball bearings and nails.

I don't hate them. i am not afraid of them. IF i seen someone buying one i wouldn't fucking care.

why? it was a tool used by a terrorist. nothing less and nothing more.

Who cares? It's a pantywaisted move done to appeal to the lowest common denominator. If anyone gets upset over pressure cookers, they should seek counseling, and not subject the rest of us to their neurosis. Catering to their neurosis makes everyone look bad.

It sickened me hearing how "brave" everyone was during the bomber search, when the evidence clearly showed otherwise...

Hah. The only thing Brave and Boston have in common is the letter B.

I always thought they were typically used for canning, and little else.

You can use a pressure cooker to fast cook a lot of things that would take hours in a normal pot.

boo hoo hoo. Again, retail won't do anything unless they think profits are to be had.

 

[Red Storm]

Wow, stupid.

This, plus I think they'd be very useful for people living at high altitudes as well.
