Electric pressure cooker is a kind of pressure cooker, so many people are worried that it will explode.
In fact, the electric pressure cooker is only a kind of micro-pressure cooker, and the pressure is not high, ranging from 50 to 80 kPa. In addition, the heating of the electric pressure cooker is not continuous, but intermittent, that is, stop heating for a few minutes to keep its pressure within 80 kPa. So the electric pressure cooker will not explode.
The pressure cooker exploded because the internal pressure was very high, which could reach between 125- 180 kPa. If the vent hole is blocked and the firepower is not reduced, the pressure will only get higher and higher after blocking, and eventually it will explode beyond the tolerance range.
Therefore, people don't have to worry about the explosion of the electric pressure cooker.
How to avoid explosion of electric pressure cooker?
(1), don't be greedy for cheap. Although the electric pressure cooker will not explode, it depends on the manufacturer. If people choose cheap electric pressure cookers from small manufacturers, their quality cannot be guaranteed.
(2), avoid the exhaust hole is blocked. People had better clean the vent hole of the electric pressure cooker before using it every time, so that it won't be blocked. Otherwise, it will be blocked, and the pressure of the electric pressure cooker will easily rise, which will eventually lead to an explosion.
(3), avoid the electric pressure cooker pressure without authorization. In order to pressurize the electric pressure cooker, some people will add weight to the pressure valve to shorten the cooking time of food. This is not desirable. You know, the parameters of the electric pressure cooker are all determined. If people make changes, all the parameters will become unbalanced and the accident will not be far away.
(4) Avoid putting too much rice in the electric pressure cooker. Electric pressure cookers generally have scales to remind people that the cooked rice can only reach this scale. The extra space is to give the electric pressure cooker a buffer time to prevent it from exploding due to excessive pressure. So, be sure to follow the scale in the pot.
⑤ Avoid opening the lid of the electric pressure cooker during operation. Some people are impatient and want to open the lid to see if the rice is cooked in the middle. This is very dangerous, and it will explode if you are not careful. When the electric pressure cooker is running, people should never open the lid half-open, and should wait for the electric pressure cooker to cool naturally or deflate forcibly before opening the lid.
