i grew up with a stove top pressure cooker at home and learned how to use it. one negative side to the stove top version is that you have to manually flick the vent to air out the steam which always scared me.

i've recently paid a good amount of money for a korean brand electric pressure cooker/rice cooker and i love it. use it for everything. i know slow cookers were/is all the rage but this method gives the same results under fraction of the time. worth the 400 dollars. and you don't have to go near the vent. does it automatically!

why the head shaking? there's nothing wrong with non-home design related debates on a home design website. conversations evolve. if you found it out of place you didn't have to participate. but you decided to spend quite some time writing a response and then declare it a joke when people smartly responded to your question. i find that troll-ish.

people seem to be very confused on what declawing really is.

it's not the act of permanently removing JUST the nails on a cat. it's a procedure that requires cutting off bone. it is painful. very painful. compounded by the fact that most veterinarians who do these procedures are older graduates who don't believe in adequate pain management therapy. it's equivalent to you cutting off all your ten finger tips and then taking tylenol for the pain.

that being said; if a client has to choose between de-clawing a cat or the cat going to the shelter. then i'll recommend de-clawing. but some people, do love their couch more than their cat.

it's a cat people. they're not dogs; you can always hide that fact that you have a cat from a landlord unless you roommate with them. granted, it's not the most ethical choice but geez, give me a break.
