Is this pressure cooker dangerous? If so what to avoid doing to prevent explosions or whatever could happen?

It has an inbuilt safety pressure release mechanism in case of extreme pressure build-up. One of the images/photos explains the various safety features. Overall, I would say that it is a safe pressure cooker when used as per instructions.

ALL pressure cookers can be dangerous. Read all instructions carefully and follow them...it will then be "safe".

Not dangerous at all. This pressure cooker is amazing! I use it almost every day. I even bought one for my mom and she loves it too. Its unlike the old fashioned ones that were scary to use. This one is easy to use. The only thing I advise is that when you are letting the pressure out have something to cover the steam like a big bowl or pan so that the steam doesn't hit your ceiling.

Doesn't seem to be... it is all digitally controlled, I dont have to do anything except not overfill and push the button. It turns off itself because everything is timed. I am using it a lot and no problems at all so far.

I have never used it for that purpose because I use a rice cooker but I think you are safe if you wanted to.

In the issue of safety, I'd recommend that you contact the customer service department at Waring. If this is a common problem, they should have an answer. If it is unusual , ask that they check it out. My Acme literally exploded all over the kitchen. Violent shaking is a warning. Don't use it until it's fixed!

Sorry Betty. I'm no help, my experience is with an electric stove top; however, in either the Rikon owner's manual or one of the pressure cooker cook books this subject I is covered.

I don't think so because you are cooking with steam pressure. I can only say that I use mine 4 to 5 times a week and have owned it 6 months. The lining of the cooker and the pot itself are holding up well and its easy to use and makes very little noise as the old pressure cookers did and cuts it's self off with the timer.

I'm sorry I do not know, the only pressure cooker I have is the Instant Pot.

I use it several times a week on an electric stove with no problems at all. My mother and my grandmother both used a pressure cooker on electric stoves. The pressures comes up quick and regulates quite easily on my stove, I'm sure it would do the same on others.

I can't speak to the safety issue, but the quality of this stove is excellent. It is very well made and should last a long time if taken care of properly.

I'm sorry but I am unable to answer your question as I do not have a pressure cooker. I purchased this to use in a pan to poach fish and have not used it yet. Good luck.

(1) There are no nutrients lost in the steam. The water turns to a gas but the MUCH larger molecules in your food do not.(2) ALL PRESSURE COOKERS MUST HAVE A RELEASE VALVE to release steam when the pressure gets too high; otherwise they can explode causing a SERIOUS accident.For your reference: I hold a Masters degree in Chemical Engineering and I have taught high school chemistry and physics for 20 years.

The instructions indicate that the cooker can be used on an induction stove. There is an added note: "Oh a high setting a humming noise may occur. This noise arises for technical reasons and does not indicate a fault in your pressure cooker. The pan and induction unit must correspond in size otherwise the induction unit (magnetic field) may not properly engage the underside of the pan."

I don't hink you need to worry about it. It is used for any same brand pressure cooker. Such valves will melt in the middle since it's designed that way. I had it on my cooker and haven't had issue.

The top part is not dishwasher safe. Part of the safety pressure release is made of plastic. It is possible for the heating elements with in the dish washer to damage it. If that were to happen the cooker won't be able to hold pressure. The bottom part is dish washer safe.

I was not happy with the durability of the Rikon pressure cooker. It basically lasted about a year and then fell apart. The top of the cooker came off in pieces. If I were you, try one of the new electric pressure cookers. Get the extended warrantee as well.

First u need to make sure that u don't fill the pressure cooker more than 3/4, And still if the problem isn't fixed then u can replace the safety valve. That should take care of the problem.

no idea but i doubt it since it is a pressure cooker (breaks down food) and nothing else

No, it is a high pressure fryer and cooker. Teflon may not survive the pressure frying temps. Also, when pressure frying always have a fire extinguisher at arms reach and wear clothing that covers all skin areas, just in case. I have pressure fried with this many times and it is built for that, but better safe than sorry. It is all thick walled stainless to handle the pressures.
