Un autocuiseur peut-il exploser ? Comprendre les risques et comment l'utiliser en toute sécurité

Pressure cooker are very safe under normal use, but they sometimes explode either due to their incorrect usage or malfunctioning equipment. The working principle of a pressure cooker is based on increasing the temperature inside the pot by applying pressure, hence accelerating the cooking process of food.

In order to ensure safety, modern pressure cookers are usually designed with multiple safety devices, such as pressure valves, safety valves, sealing rings, etc., which can effectively avoid the danger caused by over-pressure.

However, if a pressure cooker has the following problems, the probability of an explosion may occur.

Improper use: Concerning improper use of a pressure cooker, its incorrect handling, such as not enough liquid inside or the lid not being fully sealed, the appliance can cause excessive pressure.

Aging or damage: If the sealing ring, pressure valve, or other accessories of the pot are aged, damaged, or clogged, the pressure in the pot cannot be released in time, which may cause an accident.

Insufficient cleaning: The food residues and other dirt that block the discharge valve and pressure valve of the pressure cooker will also cause the abnormal pressure in the pot and increase the explosion danger.

Overuse: Overloading of the pressure cooker, especially adding too much food or liquid, may cause excessive pressure in the pot.

How to Avoid Pressure Cooker Explosion

• Always use the pressure cooker correctly by following the instructions.
• Regularly check and replace the main consumable parts, including sealing rings.
• Make sure the pressure valve and exhaust valve are free from blockage.
• While cooking, too much food should not be given in the pressure cooker and it requires sufficient liquid content.
• Get a pressure cooker that matches up with safety standards- do not use an old and mediocre appliance.

Besides, when choosing a cooker, the brand choices are very important because the brand is directly related to quality, safety, durability, and cooking effect. Normally, good brands will attach great importance to materials, design, craftsmanship, and after-sales service.
