What should I do if the stainless steel pot lid is stuck and cannot be opened?

Everyone may encounter the situation in life that the stainless steel pot lid is stuck and cannot be opened. The solution is as follows:

1. You can continue to heat the pot to increase the temperature inside the pot, which will increase the pressure inside the pot. When the internal pressure is greater than the external pressure, the lid will be easily opened. Be sure to use a low fire. If it is heated too much, it will collapse. Be sure to pay attention to safety. Try it slowly and gently tap the upper edge of the basin upwards with a wooden stick. This way they can be separated.

2. Turn off the heat. After the pot cools down and the internal and external pressures of the pot are balanced, the lid will open easily.

3. Shake the pot lid to make it leak. After the air pressure inside and outside the pot is balanced, it will be easier to open.

4. Add detergent water to the edge of the pot lid. Or if the rice in the pot has given up, just fill it with water from the gap and turn the pot upside down.

5. Pour boiling water on the pot lid or pot body, and slowly move the pot lid or pot body, or pick it up after air enters during the movement, or move the edge to pick it up. Because of the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, gas expands and escapes when heated, causing the gas to decrease. The cooling is because the outside air cannot come in due to the seal, which makes the pressure inside the pot less than the atmospheric pressure. Therefore, the pressure inside the pot is increased by heating. When the pressure inside and outside the pot is equal, it can be opened.

6. At this time, you cannot hold it upward forcibly. It requires a lot of strength to lift it. The handle of the pot lid may be broken. Push it flatly. After pushing a little gap, the internal and external pressures are balanced, and you can easily pick it up. .
