Not everyone dares to cook with a pressure cooker, and the fear of an accident is real. A viral video by Isabel Paiva on TikTok, which has already racked up more than 16 million views, captured the exact moment a pressure cooker on the verge of bursting exploded in front of two young people in Brazil.

Despite failed attempts to release the valve with a stick and then with their hands, the built-up pressure ended in a blast that, miraculously, left no one injured.


According to the Fire Department, the main cause is usually clogged valves due to lack of cleaning or too much food.


They recommend not exceeding 65% of the capacity, always checking the sealing ring, and never cooling it under running water. Have you ever had a scare while cooking, or do you prefer to avoid this utensil out of fear?
