Airfryer - worth buying? Any hints and tips to make the most of them
I thought most pressure cookers used weights, to hold the pressure, the one we had years ago did, so if the pressure got too high the weights just lifted and let the steam out.

Yesterday there was a lot of loud "honk honk" noise going on on top of the house. It went on for some time. Eventually the culprits flew off - two Canada geese. Never had them land on the roof before. And another neighbour had our local heron on top of their roof eyeing up the ponds.
