electric pressure cooker is a very dangerous and terrible kitchen appliance in the eyes of many people. Indeed, because electric pressure cookers use a high-pressure, sealed‑seal cooking method, improper use can easily lead to accidents. Although the electric pressure cooker combines the advantages of pressure cooker and electric cooker, the pressure control has new technologies and new structures such as flexible, dynamic sealing, outer cover, and displacement adjustable electrical switches. The sealed cooking, the pressure is continuously adjustable, and the safety performance is good. The pressure cooker is much better than the general pressure cooker, but the problems caused by the explosion of the electric pressure cooker still occur from time to time.
During the Chinese New Year, families get together. In the end, a table full of food is cooked in the form of family affection. At this time, the electric pressure cooker is undoubtedly a good helper for fast cooking. During the Spring Festival, we should pay attention to prevent all kinds of potential safety hazards. Today, Xiao Bian will share with you how safe the intelligent electric pressure cooker is.
First talk about the correct use of the pressure cooker
The first step to open the lid: Hold the lid handle with your hand, align the lid clockwise, and then turn the lid directly with your hand.
Step 2: Place the food and water into the pot. The combined volume of food and water should not exceed four-fifths of the pot’s capacity, and the height of the food should not surpass three-fifths of the pot’s height. At a minimum, the food and water should occupy at least one-fifth of the pot’s volume.
Step 3: Place the inner‑tank insulation cover, aligning the front portion with the pot bottom, and wipe the heating‑plate surface clean. Ensure that there are no debris on the heat‑insulation shield and the valve‑seat surface; then, gently rotate the inner‑tank heating plate to the left and right until it makes good contact.
Step 4: Close the lid: Before closing, check that the seal is properly seated inside the lid. Grip the lid handle, close the lid, then turn it counterclockwise until it clicks into place and you hear a distinct locking sound.
Step 5: Set the upper pressure limit of the relief valve: Seal the assigned pressure-limiting valve in its closed position and check whether the float descends (after heating, does the heated float rise and then descend when cooled?).
Step 6: The power‑display unit can be operated once it has entered standby mode.
there are also Ji Lao who use these preventive measures
in use, first carefully check whether the vent is flat, whether rice or other food residue is safe, and leave holes in the seat to block it. If the drain becomes clogged, remove the pot from the heat, allow it to cool completely, and then clean out the pores before resuming use; otherwise, using it on food could result in burns. Also, check whether the rubber gasket has aged. Aged rubber seals must be used for a period of time. The pressure cooker’s sealing ring tends to deteriorate and leak over time, so it needs to be replaced.
When you use someone without increasing the weight of the pressure valve, in order to increase the pressure in the tank, you are forced to shorten the production time. They hardly realize that the size of a pressure vessel is a strictly regulated technical parameter, and by disregarding this scientific design, they are putting their own lives at risk. This can lead to catastrophic consequences, such as tank explosions and serious injuries—don’t take the chance! Furthermore, during operation, if the plug on the fusible-metal disc becomes closed, under no circumstances should any other metal be used to replace it; the component must be replaced with a new one.
When using a pressure cooker, do not fill it beyond four-fifths of its capacity; if the food expands—such as beans—do not exceed two-thirds of the pot’s volume.
The handles must overlap. The lid and handle must be perfectly aligned; otherwise, placing the cooked food on the stove could result in the lid flying off as if it had exploded.
When heating food, never open the lid mid-cycle; otherwise, hot contents could splash and burn you. Do not disassemble the weight or pressure regulator before cooling is complete to prevent food from spraying and causing injury. Before opening the lid, allow the contents to cool naturally or by forced cooling. Most new‑model pressure cookers no longer come with a middle lid, but users of older models cannot simply open the lid.
