Install A Pressure Cooker Plug

Don't forget the pressure cooker plug.


Pressure cooker plugs, also known as the overpressure plug, pops up during the pressure cooking process, allowing steam to release from the cooker. Without the overpressure plug, too much pressure can accumulate inside the cooker. This can result in the cover being blown off and result in the hot food inside spewing everywhere. The overpressure plug can be removed to clean it, and eventually it will need to be replaced once it fails to operate correctly.


Instructions


1. Locate the old overpressure plug on the pressure cooker cover. Push the dome-shaped top of the old overpressure plug down through its opening on the pressure cooker cover with your thumb until it is unseated from the opening. Discard it.


2. Turn the new overpressure plug so its dome-shaped top is facing up.


3. Position the top, or dome-side, of the plug underneath the overpressure plug hole on the underside of the pressure cooker cover.


4. Push the plug through the overpressure plug hole until the dome side is sitting on the top side of the pressure cooker cover, and the indented bottom is evenly seated against the underside of the cover.
