It&#8217;s the original box, y&#8217;know.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Pressure cookers reduce cooking time by ~3x (especially useful for beans). The weight on top of the steam vent builds pressure to 2 atm. This raises the boiling temperature of water to about 121\u00b0C (250\u00b0F), which causes food to cook faster. You can also use it as an autoclave!!<\/p>\n<p>I recently learned that pressure cookers can&#8217;t\u00a0<em>actuall<\/em><em>y<\/em> explode, which makes me less nervous to use them. The worst that can happen is a steam explosion, in which case you&#8217;ll get steam burns. Still better than shrapnel, though.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_448\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-448\" style=\"width: 525px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-448 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/beansproutadventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/2017-07-24-22.09.10-e1503104704638-1024x766.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beansproutadventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/2017-07-24-22.09.10-e1503104704638-1024x766.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beansproutadventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/2017-07-24-22.09.10-e1503104704638-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beansproutadventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/2017-07-24-22.09.10-e1503104704638-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beansproutadventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/2017-07-24-22.09.10-e1503104704638.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-448\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I like durable things.
