1. One uses a stove and the other uses electricity
Although one uses a stove and the other uses electricity, the working principles of pressure cookers and voltage cookers are basically the same. Based on the physical principle that air pressure is proportional to the boiling point of water, it increases the temperature in the pot by increasing the boiling point of water, thereby using high temperature and high pressure to quickly cook food or sterilize.
2. Electric pressure cookers are more environmentally friendly
Because the electric pressure cooker uses electricity, it does not produce open flames and burning exhaust gases, and is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly than pressure cookers.
3. The electric pressure cooker is more convenient to use and has more comprehensive functions
The electric pressure cooker can also perform intelligent operations such as scheduled appointments, temperature adjustment and heat preservation, and is relatively more multi-functional than a pressure cooker.
4. Electric pressure cookers are safer
Since the pressure cooker uses a steam valve to control the pressure inside the pot, the air outlet valve and safety valve are easily blocked after a certain period of use. In this case the pressure cooker will continue to heat. When the air pressure in the pot exceeds the pressure that the pressure cooker can withstand, an explosion will occur, which is very dangerous.

Safety and precautions for using electric pressure cookers
1. Before using the electric pressure cooker, you should carefully check whether the exhaust hole of the electric pressure cooker is clear and whether the hole under the safety valve seat is blocked. Blockage by foreign matter. If the vent hole is blocked by food during use, the pot should be forced to cool down, clear the vent hole and continue to use it. Otherwise, the food in the electric pressure cooker may spray out and injure people during use.
2. Check whether the rubber sealing ring of the electric pressure cooker is aging. Rubber sealing rings are prone to aging, and aged sealing rings can easily cause air leakage in the electric pressure cooker, so the sealing rings must be replaced in time.
3. Avoid not closing the pot lid properly. Be sure to close the lid of the electric pressure cooker in place before cooking food, otherwise the lid may fly off and cause injury.
4. Avoid self-pressure. When using an electric pressure cooker, some people will add weight to the pressure valve without authorization in order to increase the pressure in the pot and forcibly shorten the cooking time. As everyone knows, the pressure of an electric pressure cooker is designed strictly in accordance with technical parameters. It is very dangerous to pressurize an electric pressure cooker without authorization regardless of the scientific design, and it can easily lead to accidents in which the pot explodes and injures people.
5. If the fusible metal piece (plug) on ??the electric pressure cooker falls off during use, it must not be replaced with other metal objects. The same part should be replaced as soon as possible.
6. Avoid over-dressing. When putting food ingredients into the electric pressure cooker, do not exceed 80% of the pot's volume. If it is easy-to-expand food ingredients such as beans, it should not exceed 67% of the pot's volume.
7. Avoid opening the lid halfway. During the heating process, never open the pot lid midway, and do not remove the weight or pressure regulating device before confirming cooling to prevent food from spraying out and injuring people. Open the pot lid after natural cooling or forced cooling.
