If you're a fan of one-pot cooking or you're looking for a method to cut down on cooking time, a pressure cooker might just be your best friend. This makes the cooking process faster, more controlled and hassle-free. But like all good things, the pressure cooker has a catch. Stories of pressure cooker explosions and resulting severe burns and even deaths occasionally make headlines. While it's easier to cook in a pressure cooker, it can be quite dangerous if you're inexperienced or careless.
Here are some tips for using your pressure cooker safely.
soft steam
First, make sure the vent tube is not clogged before closing the lid. If residues from the previous meal have settled here, you can remove them with a cloth or blow out vigorously. Do not use sharp objects to remove them. Close the lid and leave on the stove only after making sure the valves are clean and the pressure can be released. It is important to replace the safety valves at regular intervals. Using safety valves of the same brand as the pressure cooker would provide additional safety.
not overloaded
Do not fill the pressure cooker to the brim with ingredients. If there is no space to build up pressure, the food will not be cooked through. It could even affect the taste and aroma of dishes.
now calm down
Make sure the pressure is completely released before opening the lid. If you want to open the lid quickly, immerse the pot in water before opening the lid.
a good cleaning
Remove the washer before cleaning the lid after each use. Food leftovers that get caught between the lid and the washing machine can be a breeding ground for bacteria. It could seriously affect the health and well-being of your family.
