3 mistakes when used make the pressure cooker explode like a bomb

The cause of the pressure cooker explodes when used

1. Using low-quality pressure cookers of unknown origin

Poor quality is the leading cause of pressure cookers exploding during cooking. The pots that do not meet safety standards will probably have rubber rings, locking systems, warped covers, pressure relief valves that do not work when necessary . All of the above causes make the pot become a slow explosive bomb in the house.

2. Do not check the pan before cooking

Many housewives put food in and quickly close the lid and place the pot on the stove. However, if you do not check carefully, leaving the pot lid bent, buckled or the amount of food in the pot improperly can lead to the pot explode when in use.

3. Suddenly open the pressure cooker

This is one of the extremely dangerous jobs. Meanwhile, the pressure relief valve has not exhausted all the steam. The amount of steam inside is suddenly being discharged suddenly and massively, along with the high temperature, which can cause burns to users.

Some notes when using pressure cookers

- For foods like rice, cereal grains . you should not give more than 1/2 pot (including rice and water). Because when they cook, they expand, causing many bubbles to explode.

- Pour appropriate amount of water when cooking. If cooking for less than 10 minutes, you only need about 118ml of water, if cooking for more than 10 minutes, you should put about 475ml in the pot.

- Before turning on the stove, to check whether the pot is closed properly, the valves are not clogged.

- When cooking, do not open the lid. When cooking is completed, if the pressure relief valve has not exhausted the steam, do not attempt to remove the lid.

- If the gasket in the pressure cooker has a crack, it is best to replace it.

- When you open the lid, you should tilt to one side to avoid the heat coming into the face causing burns.
