Hey all,
The other day I went to the thrift shop and while browsing, came across some pressure cookers that were being sold for cheap. I’ve heard of these things before, but this was my first time actually seeing them in person.
I did some research as to how they’re used and what for, and I’m thinking I might as well purchase one. However, I know there is a risk of the thing exploding, especially seeing that they aren’t new models sold from the store and all.
My main question is how I would go about preventing an explosion happening in my apartment if I were to use one. The two are stovetop ones rather than electric ones, and look more or less like this.
Thanks for any help in advance!
test the valve when you start to cook. if the button doesn’t release air and the valve indicator isn’t moving, turn off the heat and move the pot off the stove right at the start. in that case let it cool down for a long time before opening it, so even if there’s still preasure, no hot contents get ejected.
