One of the big problems with older style electric cookers is that you 
can't turn the heat down as soon as the pan gets to the correect 
temperature.  It will keep pushing out more heat for several minutes.  
The valve on a pressure cooker has limited capacity to cope with this.

Roger, not likeing the electric hob he now has.
