Electric pressure cookers generally don't explode unless they are used incorrectly or purchased inferior. How to prevent electric pressure cooker explosion?

(1) Do not overfill. When the pressure in the pot is generated, there is almost no safety buffer space. Continue to heat, the pressure increases with it, causing an explosion. According to the manufacturer's instructions, the food in the pot can not exceed the total volume of 2/3, preferably not more than 1/2.

(2) Each time before adding the lid, we must carefully check the center of the lid exhaust holes are smooth. If you can't see the light to light, blowing is not smooth, certainly blocked, must rule out the blockage before adding the lid.

(3) after the cover, the more scientific method is not to add a pressure limiting valve, to be heated to discharge the cold air inside the pot (to the center of the hole uniformly hot as a standard), and then add a pressure limiting valve in a timely manner.

(4) before adding the pressure limiting valve, the same to check the pressure limiting valve on the vent. Methods available mouth blowing against the big hole, shunt venting will be open air. If clogged, can be poked through the fine wire and then used.

(5) do not use the pressure cooker to cook beans, rice, pork ribs and seaweed soup. Because the high pressure inside the pot produces enough foam to block the center hole and the pressure limiting valve vent, resulting in danger.

(6) Cooking things to start with a large fire, on the gas after switching to a small fire.

(7) When using fire as a heat source, be careful not to overheat the handle of the pressure cooker, children and people who can not take care of themselves can not use the pressure cooker.

(8) Can not hold and boil acid / alkali / salt and other highly corrosive items. The electric pressure cooker has a similar method of use.

(9) After the pressure cooker has been used, it should be fully and thoroughly washed and wiped dry, especially do not immerse the rim in grease for a long time and place the lid upside down on the body of the cooker.

Expanded information:

The electric pressure cooker is an upgraded product of the traditional pressure cooker and electric rice cooker. It combines the advantages of the pressure cooker and rice cooker, completely solves the safety problem of the pressure cooker, lifted the common pressure cooker troubled consumers for many years of hidden security problems; its thermal efficiency is greater than 80%, saving time and electricity.

First of all, we must be selective in buying pressure cookers, and we must pick the pressure cooker with a brand name, a manufacturer, a manual, and a qualified quality. Do not buy imposters.

Pressure cooker from the specifications, generally have 20.22.24.26 cm four models. You can buy a small one for a small family; a large one for a large population. But if you're looking for thermal efficiency, you'll want to pick a larger one.

Pressure cooker from raw materials, generally divided into aluminum, aluminum alloy and stainless steel three. Each of the three has its own characteristics: aluminum light weight, fast heat transfer, cheap, service life of up to 20 years or more. But the use of it is undoubtedly to increase the absorption of aluminum, long-term use of it is not good for health.

Aluminum alloy is better than pure aluminum products, durable, strong. Stainless steel pressure cooker is more expensive, but it is heat-resistant, beautiful, not easy to react with food acids, alkalis, salt, and the longest service life, up to 30 years or more.

So, even if you have to spend a little more money, it's better to buy a stainless steel one.
