Pressure cookers are invaluable in the kitchen, cooking food up to 70% faster while preserving nutrients. However, improper cleaning can lead to dangerous accidents, as highlighted by Dr. Simrat Kathuria, a celebrity dietician with over 16 years of experience. In a viral Instagram video, she shared a recent incident where a pressure cooker exploded, injuring a maid due to lack of cleaning. Dr. Kathuria outlined three essential steps for cleaning: first, clean the whistle hole with a pin every 4–5 days to ensure pressure release; second, wash the rubber gasket with soapy water and replace it if cracked; and third, brush the safety valve area to remove stuck particles. This advice resonated with many social media users who shared their own experiences and emphasized the importance of cleaning not just pressure cookers but all kitchen essentials for safety and hygiene.
