How to Clean a Pressure Cooker Properly

1. Remove and wash the rubber gasket/anti-overflow gasket separately.

Wash the rubber gaskets in warm water with a small amount of mild soap and a cloth or dishcloth.

2. Wash the pressure cooker lid, pot, and gasket with mild dish soap and a soft sponge.

Wash the pressure cooker under clean water – except for the motor part of the electric pressure cooker.

3. Dry the pot completely.

You must ensure that all parts of the pot are completely dry.

4. Carefully install the rubber gasket onto the lid.

The rubber seal is very important for the pressure cooker. Make sure you install this rubber seal correctly and in the correct order.

Some manufacturers state that the pressure release valve can be removed for cleaning after each use, so you should check the manufacturer’s instructions for more information.

Some principles never to do when cleaning a pressure cooker

– Do not immerse the pressure cooker lid in water as it can affect or damage the safety valve.

– Never wash the pressure cooker in a dishwasher, as food or dish detergent in the dishwasher can clog the pressure release valve or safety valve.

– When storing the pressure cooker, you should not lock the lid as it can damage the anti-overflow rubber gasket or the lid cannot be opened due to moisture that can permanently lock the lid.
