Prevent Water And Froth From Coming Out Of Pressure Cooker Whistle With These Easy Tips
- •Water and froth coming out of the pressure cooker while boiling dal makes the gas stove and kitchen slab dirty.
- •This usually happens due to filling the cooker with too much dal and water or when the whistle gets blocked.
- •Adding a few drops of oil to the dal before cooking can help reduce froth formation.
- •Regularly check and clean the cooker whistle, steam outlet, and ensure the rubber gasket is not damaged.
- •Always maintain the correct proportion of dal and water according to the cooker capacity to leave space for expansion.
Key Questions Answered
When dal boils, starch and protein mix with hot water to form froth. If the cooker is filled with too much dal and water, there is not enough space left for the froth to rise, causing it to spill out of the whistle along with water.
Do not fill the cooker beyond its specified capacity to leave space for expansion and froth formation. Additionally, adding a few drops of oil to the dal can help reduce froth.
Safely turn off the gas and never open the hot cooker forcibly. Wait until the pressure is completely released and the cooker cools down before checking or cleaning any blockages.
