i posted some time ago about the fuse being gone
in a used pressure cooker. turns out that this
model is not supported by anyone that i have found
on the web or in the DFW area.

well, as a cheapskate and ex-Marine, i decided to try
something. soldering a "plug" would be the way to
go, and i have an iron that could do it. otherwise
a torch would have to do. the cooker is aluminum,
but you can unscrew the housing for the fuse and
repair it w/o melting the cooker.

what i did, just as a test of the gasket,
was to "tape" over the blown fuse w/some 3-M al
tape meant for a/c ductwork. it worked, it worked
so well that i am eating the beans for supper(!).

of course, this is NOT something i recommend, to
ANYONE. but still, interesting, imho. --Loren

ps. there was concern about the adhesive, and i
saw it, but very local to the edges of the tape. it
does not appear to have migrated any farther. if so,
it does not seem to have hurt the flavor. grin
