There is a brand of pies available in the UK in a metal sealed tin. To cook them, you take the lid off with a can opener and then put them in the oven for about 30-40 minutes IIRC.
Anyway, a distant relative / family friend once put one in the oven and left it cooking. She forgot to take the lid off.
The explosion apparently ripped the oven door clean off its hinges where it hit the wall about 5 feet away. Luckily nobody was hurt!

Holy fuck.
Can someone explain how this happens?

I have a pressure cooker but the safety valve is gone. I was considering replacing it with something solid like a bolt rather than buy a new valve.
I might buy a new valve...
Edit: it's ok folks, you've convinced me. A bolt would be too dangerous. I'm now thinking a self-tapping screw instead :-D
