@rp2813 You'd be surprised is all I want to say! Some wouldn't even understand where the clothes go or even what button to push... | ||

Guy in that video--What an IDIOT!!!!He was lucky he wasn't badly scalded!Mom taught me never to try to open a pressure cooker until it is cooled down!!! | ||

Sigh...
Is it my imagination that it seems the "Common Sense" gene or chromosome is disappearing rapidly amongst young people these days ? Like in the Pressure Cooker Video... Why on Earth would you try to open that vessel with all that hissing and steam coming out of that pot ? Rex, you are absolutely correct that this NitWit didn't receive burns worse than he did. Good Lord. This is really sad. Seems like Trial by Error is the Norm these days instead of asking for help or questions. | ||

Actually, the guy in the pressure-cooker video probably was scalded on his legs and feet. Too bad there wasn't a follow-up video to show all the huge blisters.
The lid of a regular 3-qt. saucepan vacuum-sealed itself to the pan back when I was around 24 years old. I'd just purchased a new Whirlpool self-cleaning range to replace the 1966 36" coppertone double-oven range in our kitchen. Not realizing the pan had become a weak pressure cooker, I tugged the lid off. Water (I was boiling potatoes) flew out of the pan and hit my legs, feet and hands. Boy, did I have some nasty blisters just from that! Very painful, as well. Lesson learned. | ||

"Gramma"...
Always showed me when washing the lid was to invert the cover and fill it with hot water and let it run though the Pressure Stem where the regulator sits. She said "That way you know it's clear and nothing is stuck in the pipe."
She also would once a month remove the sealing rings and wash them to remove what she called "germs". Then replace them with the slightest film of Vegetable Oil to keep them soft.
I still have that Pressure Cooker and use it often. She always told me to NEVER leave the kitchen when it was on the stove. | ||

Idiots  If you need to quickly reduce the pressure in a PC you just sit it in the sink and run cold water over it till the pressure is gone, even with cold water if the PC is fairly full it might take a few minutes to reduce the pressure.
Just don't try this when you have canning jars in the PC as reducing the pressure quickly will cause the jars to explode or break. | ||

Pouring Cold Water On A Hot Pressure Cooker Hi Rex It Is recommend in the instruction manual of all the PCs I have and I do it all the time.
Usually if it is cold in the house [ heating season ] I just cock the regulator and let the heat and steam escape into the house, in the warmer months I almost always just set the PC in the sink and turn on the cold water and let a lot of the excess heat go down the drain.
I have been doing this for years, I often use a PC up 5 times a week, check your instruction book. | ||

Reply #1. That dude had to be strong. The PC looked similar to our Fagor. I honestly don't think I have the strength to pry the top off our cooker. The safety interlocks are very sturdy. Not that I would try it. | ||

I was concerned the very sudden cooling of the cold water could warp the pot.I haven't used a PC in many years so I may have forgotten some things.What I did learn was from Mom,Stepmom,or grandmother-one of them cautioned about pouring cold water on a really hot PC.If its Ok in the manual-guess it can be done then. | ||

both of my stainless Prestos and my one aluminum Mirromatic all say, depending on the recipe, "reduce pressure immediately by placing under cold running water" or "let pressure drop of its own accord". Depends on what is cooking inside. I've tried to open my old Mirro with just hot water in it barely beginning to steam and can't. My two Prestos have interlocks on them...if there's pressure inside they CAN'T be opened. I was at a neighbor's house when I was a kid and their PC blew the safety...the range hood caught the steam and rained down hot water onto the electric cooktop. That was exciting but I'm glad I didn't have to clean it up! | ||

Never had a pressure cooker explosion
I just used mine yesterday as a matter of fact. I was taught that once it reached pressure, to turn the burner down to low to medium heat and start timing whatever you're cooking, then when it's done, gently take it to the sink and run cold water on it to release pressure -
I wonder what this person did to cause the explosion? Left the burner cook top on high after it had reached pressure? God, what a mess! | ||
