My mother had a really large pressure cooker in the late 40s and on. She used it for canning. We were in an earthquake in June 1952, and she had all her canned goods (in Ball jars) in the high cabinets. They mostly fell to the floor in the kitchen, which was a big mess to clean up. She would also get a hog's head cut in half and cook it up in that pressure cooker. She'd. boil it up and puck the meat off of it and make mince meat from it. She'd take the brain out before cooking it and make scrambled eggs and brains. With the lips, snout, etc. she'd dice them up and put the meat in the head cheese and mush she'd make with the broth. I didn't like the scrambled eggs and brains, but my dad loved it. I've seen pressure cookers like that occasionally and wonder if people ever use them anymore.
