How does the automatic electric pressure cooker work?
When the electric pressure cooker is turned on, the heating unit at the base starts to function and heat is supplied to the inner pot. With the rise in the temperature of the inner pot, pressure builds inside to make the food cooked. Once the food is cooked, the pressure releases through the valve in the lid and depending on the option that you choose from the control panel with the microprocessors keeping track of the heating cycle. the electric cooker either automatically switches to the Keep warm mode or the heat source shuts off for a while once the pressure is high, lets the pressure drop and once the pressure sensor is deactivated the heating starts again for the cooking cycle to continue.
