Kitchen’s Trivia

Safety Precautions when Using Pressure Cookers

• Always make sure there is enough water for cooking. If the pressure
cooker is cooking without water, it can cause serious damage.
• Do not overload the pressure cooker, as it can cause over-flowing and
blockage of the steam outlet.

• The rubber sealing ring of the lid may become rigid or even deformed as
it ages. Regular replacement is thus needed.

• To avoid steam burn, do not open the lid until the pressure is totally
released.
