The Aftermath of Pressure Cooker Explosion: What to do?

Of the many must-have kitchen essentials, one is pressure cooker, a machine that traps steam to speed up meal preparation. The locking mechanism of the pressure cooker is designed to build the pressure inside of it. If the pressure cooker doesn't sound an alert after the cooking cycle is finished, the pressure cooker might be defective. Some people often take this "no alert" as a sign for opening the cooker without releasing the pressure. Opening a defective pressure cooker without releasing all the steam inside it can result in an explosion.
