Why do pressure cookers explode?

If the gas valve is blocked, the pressure inside the cooker will gradually rise with the heating, and the air pressure can not be discharged, to a certain extent, it will explode.

Before using a pressure cooker, be sure to do the following:

①Check that the gas valve is safe and clear;

②Expandable food, such as rice or beans, be sure to lose weight at your own discretion;

③Decrease the pressure after cooking and open the lid;

④Cooking fluid food, such as porridge or soup, pay attention to the amount of water used, and try not to use the exhaust method of decompression, otherwise viscous liquids may clog the pressure. Otherwise the viscous liquid may block the venting valve. Remove the pressure cooker from the stove and allow it to cool naturally at room temperature;

⑤ Replace the rubber ring regularly and invert the lid of the cooker after each use to prevent the rubber ring from accelerating deformation under pressure for a long time.

Cooking with pressure cooker. Attention:

Jealousy:Improper choice.

According to the actual needs of the family, choose the electric pressure cooker of the right size, full-featured, stable quality, good safety and the right price. Don't buy blindly, blindly believe in the brand, or the salesperson's promotion. You can refer to the above guide for selection.

When using an electric pressure cooker for the first time, be sure to read the instruction manual for the pressure cooker. Always follow the instructions or ask someone who knows how to do it. Never use it without learning how.

Avoid:Not checking before use.

When using, first double-check that the vent holes are clear and that the holes under the seat of the safety valve are not clogged with residual rice grains or other food debris. If it is blocked by food during use, it should be unplugged, forced to cool down and clean the air holes before continuing to use it, otherwise the food will spurt out and burn people during use. Also check if the rubber gasket is aging. Rubber gasket will be aging after a period of use. Aging rubber rings tend to make the pressure cooker leak and need to be renewed in time.

Avoid:Lid not in place.

Before cooking food, the handle of the lid must be in line with the indication sticker of the pot. Otherwise, the lid is not in place and can't be pressed up, or when it is pressed up, the lid pops up, which can easily cause burns.
