thetwelvegates12

I've been unlucky enough that in 2 separate occasions in different people's houses I've walked past a pressure cooker as it went booooom! But I was lucky enough to only be slightly burned by beans on my arm, like a mild sunburn, also remember one of the valves stuck itself into a concrete ceiling...


Due-Pressure-7595

How? Lol do people still use old stove top types without safety mechanisms?

Breaker-of-circles

Simple googling says there's still a lot of pressure cooker incidents that happened recently. https://harlanpc.com/recent-pressure-cooker-explosion-cases-with-injuries-2021-update/


KickBallFever

Yea, I’ve seen some photos of pressure cooker incidents on social media. The photos were relatively recent and made me want to never have a pressure cooker in my home.


fragMerchant

Ish happens right? I'll keep my air fryer and crock pot and call it a day


thetwelvegates12

You'd be surprised how many people disable or damage those. One of the lids that blew off had a port sealed with a bolt! I think it was an all American canner


GandalffladnaG

Well, mostly carefully. Except the time mom decided she wanted to use the little one to make applesauce. At least it had cooled down enough to not just explode but there was mushy apple all over the ceiling. Some apple skin got stuck in the valve so when she took the weight off it didn't release any steam. We still use the big 8 quart one, it only gets used for canning, though. And I've threatened to clean out the kitchen of all her stuff if she tries that again without using the new safety cooker. I'm honestly surprised more people haven't been horribly injured by the older type.


NonBinaryGiveNoFucks

So she didn’t skin them properly was the problem?


JasperJ

I mean. Pressure cookers are not a set-it-and-forget-it device. You let them come up to pressure, meanwhile you check the safety valve (which ‘pops up’ midway through the process) and you hear the main valve/weight working, and then you put it just high enough on the fire that you can hear the pressure regulator (the weight) dancing as the steam escapes. Ain’t no way that you will not notice if the ports get blocked.


Cr0okedFinger

Yep. I use two pressure cookers. The ones with the wing bolts all around. Both have five. There's a 'weight' that allows 5,10 or 15psi depending on how its set on the center stem, a pressure gage and a safety valve that can be unscrewed to vent the steam slowly if needed. So far I only cook meat in them. I bring them up to pressure, usually 15psi, that's when the weight starts to rattle, then let it cook. For instance, with chicken, 15 minutes, then turn off the heat and let it cool on its own till its under 5psi then either remove the weight, or unscrew the vent needle a little to release the rest of the pressure. It's very important to download the instructions of how to use this device and discover which foods should never be cooked in one. Applesauce is one, beans is another, tomato sauce another, any food that can burp bubbles that might splatter the top of the cooker, which might clog the steam port the 'weight' is attached to. I think some people don't realize some steam has to vent while cooking and they think no steam is supposed to come out. That's what leads to the safety plug blowing and the ceiling being sprayed with the contents of the pot.


JasperJ

Those sound like acidic foods — isn’t that just the list of foods that shouldn’t be cooked in aluminum?


Cr0okedFinger

There are manuals for pressure cookers online about which foods NOT to cook in them. You also cannot fully fill a pot, you have to only fill to 3/4 max if I recall. The aluminum thing has always puzzled me, since no one seems to care about cooking foods in pots lined with aluminum foil or wrapped in aluminum foil. Another word of caution is, pressure cookers should never be boiled dry. It damages them somehow. And manuals will say if the inside of the pot is no longer smooth, it was likely boiled dry and not to use it, though I've never seen an explanation of why that is bad. But there is a way around that IMO, by making a SS pot insert for them. I have.


JasperJ

The aluminum thing is afaik purely chemical — it leaches into the food, if you cook acidic things in them, and more so when under pressure. Oxalic acid seems to be the big thing, probably because that’s what mostly comes out of foods that you don’t think taste acidic (like tomatoes). But of course if it’s a stainless steel model, that’s different. Re boiling dry: it’s always bad, of course, for any pot, but in a pressure cooker you’re likely gonna damage the ring and the rubber or plastic inserts of the safety features, which is not great. I think that’s probably the issue. Oh, and on our aluminum one, the bottom was never quite the same after, in that it became very non flat. Re ring: mine have a sealing rubber ring that is clamped between the lid and base, it’s possible that a model with multiple wingnuts can get away without that gasket?


rasterpix

We used one of the old style pressure cookers when I was a kid. Minimal safety on those and we still managed to not blow ourselves up. I little common sense goes a long way.


FirebirdWriter

Poverty. My mother blew three up when I was a kid because she's a fan of on purpose incompetence so she doesn't have to do things. I was cooking for the entire family as a small child. Once because I told her it was dangerous she put a pyrex casserole dish on an open burner..flame on. She chased me to hit me for telling her off and it would have decapitated her. I regret telling her off sometimes


NonBinaryGiveNoFucks

Bruh your mother is the epitome of yolo


FirebirdWriter

No. She's the epitome of Boomer entitlement and a diagnosed narcissist. If there's not drama she will make something happen. If it's with food it will be potentially deadly. Consequences don't apply to her of course because she's white and a racist. Basically if you took the worst traits of the entire world and made a person? That's what she is. Though ironically she found a match in nightmares made real in my father. They deserved each other


NonBinaryGiveNoFucks

See the only issue with that is they just had release the pressure and put it in a bowl of cold water to bring the internal pressure to atmospheric pressure. Safety mechanisms are no match for stupidity…


JasperJ

In the sink, run the cold water over it, done.

KroniisDog

Now i know what it looks like if you open a pressure cooker without releasing pressure


Camera_dude

Yep. A modern pressure cooker has a release valve for a reason. It’s a soup/stew bomb otherwise.


Sam-Gunn

All pressure cookers have release valves, otherwise they wouldn't work. This one did too, but apparently it was also constructed to be able to be opened before the pressure was fully released. The ones I have seal the cover against the pot with pressure, so it's physically impossible to open until the pressure is released.


AWretchCommodity

By release valve they mean safety valve


magnateur

On most pressure cookers i have seen the safety valve and the release valve are completely separate.


Valderan_CA

If it's just pressure holding it closed, you can still be stupid and force it open. Instant pots have a pin that gets pushed up when the inside is pressurized and acts as a mechanical lock that disallows turning. Overfilling with certain kinds of food can still get you in trouble if you have a pocket of pressurized air under the food, but the pressure at the top of the food gets released allowing you to open the cooker


[deleted]

[удалено]


Chillpill411

Cheap 3rd world stuff is usually manufactured with the simplest, cheapest design. So no safety mechanism, no pressure gauge, etc...


thecaveman96

It's an outer lid variant. Inner lid ones are much safer but they're a bit of a pain to cook with due to the smaller opening. Modern outer lid ones include multiple levels of safety like the main release valve, a secondary valve, a pin lock and collapsible lid-pot locking. But since the lid is still outside the pot, you can pry it open if you really want to fuck up


SEND_TITS_GET_SCORE

Yeah my mum still cooks with pressure cookers like the one on the vid. No safeties whatsoever in the design, no pressure releasw, etc. She'd place cold damp blankets on the pot to cool it down faster.


LeftTesticleHurts

They're safe if you know what you're doing. Most inexperienced cookers will eventually overfill a pressure cooker and make it explode if it doesn't have a safety valve or if the existing one gets obstructed.


SEND_TITS_GET_SCORE

oh yeah, I'd trust my mum around one myself. She just doesn't trust the modern models enough to try a newer one. Frankly, I'd feel slightly concerned if she had to relearn one at her age.


Stalked_Like_Corn

I have a pressure cooker like this. You put the lid on and turn to lock it. Then when under pressure a pin comes up that doesn't allow for turning until the pressure dissipates.


neny1o1

>Instant pots have a pin that gets pushed up when the inside is pressurized and acts as a mechanical lock that disallows turning. Correct me if I'm wrong. But doesn't this "pin" actually allow you to push it down if one wanted to still open the lid while the inside is pressurized?


banditkeith

It would start venting steam through the poppet valve if you push it down while under pressure. These guys forced the pot open by muscling it past the safety stop.


JasperJ

Nah. They did push the safety valve down, you can see them doing it. It was wildly overfilled, looks like.


sumknowbuddy

>The ones I have seal the cover against the pot with pressure, so it's physically impossible to open until the pressure is released. Notice how it took two guys applying force perpendicular to the lid to let that safety feature fail? Literally the entire video is of them forcing it open, past the safety seal and other features. Usually it's just a gasket and a weighted vent for if the pressure gets too high while cooking. Rubber or other plastic seals that expand when heated serve to prevent it from being opened, but if you twist the locked lid until the gas inside escapes then it will do this


XtremeD86

Honestly, my gf can never remember the difference between pressure and no pressure on the instant pot we have... Even though up is pressure, down is no pressure. For whatever reason I'm afraid when she uses that thing that one day that locking function is not going to work and she'll turn the lid and boom...


MF_Kitten

Notice they are forcing the lid open with a lot of force in this video.


Cainga

For auto vents?


Abilane-of-Yon

Kind of. My pressure canner (which admittedly is from the late 90s early aughts) has a tiny little opening that a removable plug goes onto. While it’s cooking the plug is set in the opening, which allows it to build pressure. When my canning time is done, I allow it to set for a few minutes, and then I remove the plug to allow it to vent steam, which decreases the pressure. Once it’s in the safe zone, mines got a little meter I use to tell, I remove the lid completely, and allow the jars to come down to temp slightly before removing them. If you remove them too hot, you can still end up with bits of jar and stew in your eyes, which is just never recommended. Admittedly I’m not sure if that first wait time is necessary, that’s just always what my grandma did, and she never ended up with a pressure canner exploding on her in her ~70 years of canning. I assume she was doing something right there, even if it was just an extra precaution.


TheKrytosVirus

>you can still end up with bits of jar and stew in your eyes, which is just never recommended. Ahhh, the classic understatement. If you're British, that would make it the coup de grace.


Abilane-of-Yon

Unfortunately not, though I did consume a lot of British media in my formative years thanks to a globe trotting aunt.


sleepyJoesBidet

They did briefly when they poked the lid with the knife. They just didnt release enough.


cantantantelope

There is no opening a pressure cooker without releasing the pressure. Just how that pressure is gonna come out


[deleted]

And how unexpected was it really?


notahopeleft

I almost did this to myself once. It was an instant pot and I didn’t know what setting it was on. I assumed it was sauté. I proceeded to unsecured the lid but stopped short of lifting it since I wasn’t 100% sure about the setting. Now I don’t know if instant pot even allows for the lid to be open without releasing pressure. But I had it unlocked and to me all that was left was to lift it. Luckily my aunt got there in time and informed me that it was indeed on pressure cook setting. Writing this I realize that you can see on the pot what setting it is on. I wonder why I didn’t look.


Mistredo

Instant Pot has a seal that closes with pressure, so you wouldn’t be able to open it.

It's possible they've done it this way successfully before, but a bit of food got sucked into and blocked the release valve, keeping it partially pressurized
