...Just be VERY careful...

This one burst and went rocketing across the kitchen!! 😵

Compressed steam, very powerful...

PICS:

..Shown is the aftermath, you can see the exit points

where HOT pressurized steam went rocketing out.

This one is not usable for blades,

But can be melted down/ casted into fan parts.
