Loudi Hunan news.com (reporter Zhu Yanan) on the afternoon of June 28, Mr. Chen, a citizen of Loudi, came back from work and was stunned by the scene in his home kitchen. "The kitchen floor, the stove and the glass were sprayed everywhere, and the pot cover fell to the ground." it turned out that Mr. Chen stewed a pot of soybeans and pig's feet with an Electric pressure cooker at noon. The Pressure Cooker exploded, and soybeans and broth splashed all over the floor, Fortunately, there was no one standing next to the kitchen, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. In summer, due to improper operation, aging sealing rings and other factors, the explosion of pressure cooker increases. Citizens should be extra careful when using it.

It is understood that this Midea brand electric pressure cooker was purchased by Mr. Chen at a large store for more than 1000 yuan and has been used for 5 or 6 years. "I bought the best at that time, and nothing has happened before. How did something happen this time?" as the warranty period has long passed, the reporter accompanied Mr. Chen to the after-sales inquiry of the pressure cooker in Bubugao supermarket (sunshine store), The staff asked several questions, looked at the lid and immediately found the answer. It turned out that, first, Mr. Chen put too many ingredients in the stew, and the residue blocked the exhaust hole, so the gas could not be discharged, resulting in an explosion. For foods that are easy to expand like soybeans, you can only put no more than three-quarters of the container; Secondly, the service life of Mr. Chen's pressure cooker is too long, and the sealing ring in the cooker is seriously aged, which is also a reason for the explosion.

The reporter learned from the pressure cooker after-sales service departments of several electrical appliance stores in Loudi that in summer, citizens like to use pressure cooker to cook porridge and soup to relieve the summer heat. Due to improper use methods and negligence of inspection, the explosion of pressure cooker has increased.

The staff told reporters that, first of all, cooking with a pressure cooker is different from porridge. When cooking porridge, it is easy to block the exhaust hole with rice and beans, resulting in poor exhaust of the pressure cooker and explosion due to excessive pressure in the cooker. Therefore, it is recommended to check the exhaust pipe and anti blocking cover of the pressure cooker in time before each use, and clean the waste with water or toothpick to avoid blockage and danger.

Secondly, the aging degree of the sealing ring is serious, which is also easy to lead to the explosion of the pressure cooker. If the sealing ring is aged so that it is loose and falls off, it is not easy to put it completely into the pressure cooker, resulting in unstable pressure of the pressure cooker and prone to accidents. The after-sales staff reminded that the sealing ring is one of the important accessories of the pressure cooker. In addition to preventing air leakage, the rubber ring can also relieve the pressure when the pressure of the pressure cooker is very high and can not be released, which plays an explosion-proof role. Generally speaking, when the seal ring is aged, yellow or even black, it should be replaced in time. It is recommended to buy a seal ring with better quality. If citizens do not know how to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of sealing rings, they can buy them at the counters of major shopping malls.
