I’ve exhausted the branches of my imagination, what is the danger of 10 pressure cookers?

You can make bombs out of pressure cookers. Since they are so good at holding pressure, you seal off the over-pressure release valves and then pressurize them until they burst (usually via some stupid or illegal means to begin with) then when they burst there is a ton of excess pressure. Big pressure = big boom.

They are exactly as good as any other pot made of 18/10 steel with similar thickness. Other vessels like propane tanks are much better.

Boston marathon worked because - well pressure cookers at the time didn't draw much attention to them.

They make great bombs.

there's tons of material online from religious radical groups on how to turn one into an IED
