How to maintain the pressure cooker?

Oil rubbing: For a new pot that has not been used, the sealing ring has high elasticity, and a small amount of food oil is added to the top and bottom of the pot body to facilitate the initial opening and closing. The lid, body and handle of the pot should be cleaned before each use to facilitate closing the lid.

Putting food: When putting food, neither food nor water should exceed four-fifths of the pot's capacity, and neither water nor soup should be less than 400ml (about two bowls).

Closing the cover: Before closing the cover, check whether the exhaust pipe is unblocked, the anti-blocking cover is clean, whether the safety valve is in good condition, and whether the float moves up and down freely and is in the falling position. Place the lid flat on the body of the pot to fix the body, and rotate the lid clockwise as shown in the figure until the upper and lower handles are completely overlapped. At this time, it is just moved to the working position and the float valve is completely exposed.

Heating: After closing the lid, it can be heated with a high flame. When a small amount of steam is slowly discharged from the exhaust pipe, the pressure limiting valve will be buckled on the exhaust pipe, and then the float will rise until the exhaust pipe "hiss". After exhausting, lower the oven temperature appropriately and keep exhausting until the cooking is completed.

Cooling and degassing: After cooking, it can be cooled naturally at room temperature. If you want to eat it immediately, you can use forced cooling (that is, drenching or immersing in water) to reduce pressure. After cooling, you can gently lift the pressure limiting valve. , let off the remaining gas.

Opening the cover: If there is no steam discharged from the exhaust pipe and the float falls, the cover can be opened in a counterclockwise direction. If the float does not fall, it proves that there is still pressure in the pot. At this time, the air pressure interlocking device will play an insurance role. It is impossible to open the lid of the pot. Do not open the lid forcefully. Use chopsticks to press down the indicator valve to clear the remaining air in the pot before opening the lid.

It can be seen that the maintenance of the pressure cooker needs to pay attention to relevant skills on weekdays. For example, if the new pot has not been used, the sealing ring has high elasticity, and a small amount of food oil is added to the top and bottom of the pot body to facilitate the initial opening and closing. The lid, body and handle of the pot should be cleaned before each use to facilitate closing the lid.
