Social media users joined in on the conversation with many saying they have never and would never purchase a pressure cooker or even a gas stove.
@That.vivian offered a pressure cooker safety tip. "Let the pot cool down for like 15 mins before opening the pot, if you open it immediately you bring it down from fire, it’ll explode or raise the black lid on top to let out."
While @Amuta 6'9a dded: "I give mine at least 40mins to an hour."
