1 Will chestnuts explode when cooked in an electric pressure cooker?

If used correctly, explosion will not occur.

The electric pressure cooker is a tool for quickly cooking food until it becomes tender. Generally, it is not dangerous when used correctly. However, if it is used to cook chestnuts, be careful to open the chestnuts first to prevent them from appearing in the pot after they expand due to high temperature. In addition, the food or water should not be less than 1/5 of the volume of the inner tank. Before cooking food, check whether the exhaust pipe hole is clear. Do not stew food for too long to avoid blocking the air holes and causing an explosion. After the food, especially the chestnuts, is cooked, you need to wait until the exhaust valve has completely dropped before opening the pressure cooker. Do not open it by force, otherwise the instantaneous impact of pressure will cause the food to explode. 2 Can chestnuts be cooked in a pressure cooker without opening?

Yes, but the lid cannot be tightly closed

If chestnuts are cooked directly in a pressure cooker without opening, the chestnut shell will easily become damaged if the pressure valve is sealed. If the internal pressure is too high and the chestnut explodes, it is best to open a small cross in the chestnut shell to release the pressure. At the same time, the opened chestnut can easily peel off the shell after cooking.

If you insist on cooking chestnuts in a pressure cooker without opening the mouth, in order to avoid the phenomenon of explosion, you cannot close the lid of the pressure cooker and cook. This is almost the same as cooking chestnuts in a pot. You can just put the chestnuts in and cook them. 3 How long does it take to cook chestnuts in an electric pressure cooker?

Just put the steam on and cook for 10 minutes.

Chestnuts are rich in starch and have a wooden shell on the outside. Moreover, a single chestnut is not large in size. The cooking time is about the same as that of sweet potatoes. It is not a difficult food to cook. Chestnuts are usually cooked in an electric pressure cooker. After turning on the steam, just continue to cook for 10 minutes. After turning off the heat, you can simmer for a while. This is not only time to wait for the pressure cooker to exhaust, but also allows the chestnuts to simmer for a while to make them more delicious. The time should be about 5-10 minutes. 4. Which function should be used to cook chestnuts in the electric pressure cooker?

The rice cooking function is sufficient.

If you want a better taste, you can add an appropriate amount of sugar to the pot. Then add a spoonful of oil, so that the cooked chestnuts taste more sweet and have the texture of fried chestnuts.
