Is the electric pressure cooker safe?

Every family must have countless kitchen supplies, such as microwave ovens, induction cookers and other electrical appliances. However, an electric pressure cooker is also popular now. It is a good helper for cooking soup and I believe every family has used it. But have you ever considered the safety of electric pressure cookers? Do you know how to choose an electric pressure cooker? Do you know how to use it?

In the past, there were very ordinary pressure cookers, but now they have been upgraded to electric pressure cookers, so the safety issue is naturally not so serious. Ordinary pressure cookers are prone to explosion, but the improved electric pressure cookers not only save materials, but are also highly efficient and can save a lot of time.

The first thing is to buy a pressure cooker selectively. You must choose a pressure cooker with a brand name, manufacturer, instruction manual and qualified quality. Don't buy knockoffs. Pressure cookers are generally divided into four sizes: 20, 22, 24 and 26 cm. If your family has a small population, you can buy a small size; if your family has a large population, you should buy a large size. But if you consider thermal efficiency, you'd better choose a bigger one. Based on the raw materials, pressure cookers are generally divided into three types: aluminum, aluminum alloy and stainless steel. Each of the three has its own characteristics: aluminum is light in weight, transfers heat quickly, is cheap, and has a service life of more than 20 years. However, using it will undoubtedly increase the absorption of aluminum, and long-term use is harmful to health. Aluminum alloy is better than pure aluminum products, and is durable and strong. Although stainless steel pressure cookers are a bit more expensive, they are heat-resistant, beautiful, and do not easily react with acids, alkalis, and salts in food. They also have the longest service life, which can reach more than 30 years. Therefore, even if you have to spend a little more money at a time, it is better to buy stainless steel.

When using it, first carefully check whether the exhaust hole is unobstructed and whether the holes under the safety valve seat are blocked by residual rice grains or other food residues. If the pot is clogged with food during use, the pot should be moved away from the fire source, forced to cool, and the air holes should be cleaned before continued use. Otherwise, food may spray out and scald people during use. Also check the rubber sealing gasket for aging. Rubber sealing rings will age after being used for a period of time. Aging rubber rings can easily cause pressure cookers to leak, so they need to be replaced in a timely manner.

After reading the above content, I believe that you will be more experienced in choosing and using electric pressure cookers in the future. It is worth noting that TV is a very dangerous thing. The lines in the home must be checked regularly, otherwise it will be very dangerous when using electrical appliances. In addition, we must follow the correct instructions when using electrical appliances.
