What Causes a Pressure Cooker to Explode?

Pressure cookers are designed to cook food faster by building up high pressure inside a sealed pot. But when parts like the gasket, safety valve, or lid lock fail, that high pressure has nowhere to go, resulting in an explosion that turns hot food into boiling shrapnel.

Common causes of a pressure cooker explosion include:

• Faulty gaskets that don’t maintain a safe seal
• Defective lid locks that can open while pressure remains inside
• Clogged or broken steam vents
• Inaccurate pressure readings from digital components
• Electrical failures, including wiring that overheats or sparks
• False indicators that mislead users into opening the cooker too soon

These defects are serious—they don’t just ruin dinner. They put families at risk of injury every time they turn on the appliance.
