> The stove top ones are the dangerous ones.
Even with those, the danger is over stated. If anything, I'm more confident about one I use on the stove, because I can inspect all of the parts easily for damage everytime I use it.
Even an old pressure cooker will be UL rated, unless it's ancient.

You'll have a blow-out plug, for anything made after 1977 (so within the last 40 years).

These are still made today; they use weights on top, all three for 15 pounds of steam, two for 10 pounds, and just one for 5 pounds.
If you have to go back further than that, they have parts going back to 1957.

It's basically the top, the bottom, the seal, the plug, and the weights.
You inspect everything every time you use the pressure cooker.
Anything doesn't look right, you replace them.
The more modern ones use a twist orifice, instead of weights... that can get clogged with food (you inspect to make sure it's open).
If you get them on sale, either style, they're much less than $100.

Either way, you have a pressure vessel in your kitchen, the only difference is that the old design has been used billions of times (people have been canning with them for years, same for cooking). The digital ones are nice, but you probably won't get parts for them in 10-20 years.
