[Small-Appliance-Cooking] Instant Pot Types

Thu Apr 12 10:51:31 UTC 2018

When I got married in 1970, someone gave us a pressure cooker that sat on
top of the stove. I actually was afraid to use it. I had heard stories about
them blowing up and hurting people. When Q V C had an electric one and
talked about its safety features, I bought it. I have used it safely for
about 4 years. The concept that they aren't safe is an extremely outdated
idea. The old stove top ones blew up on sight people also of course. It had
nothing to do with wheather you could see or not.

I know for sure that I could use one. They are very safe. I just am not sure
if I could support a company that does not support accessibility. I don't
understand what you mean by saying they are trying to cover themselves. They
can actually be sued for that statement in there manual. Their products are
blatantly trying to discriminate against blind people and other people with
disabilities. The ADA actually does address this. I cannot remember the
title, but I read the entire thing, and it said somewhere that you cannot
exclude a person with a disability on the grounds that they are safety
threat unless it is medically provable. It made it very clear that it has to
be medically provable and that it cannot be based on perception. So the
company could be sued for this. They should at least be chastised for it. If
they take that out of there manual and support accessibility, I would want
to support them.
