Agreed! The valve should first blow off the pressure cooker, steam will
escape. We learned the hard way not to cook rice in the pressure cooker.
After the safety plug blew, we went back to the book and discovered that they
did suggest never cooking rice in the pressure cooker because rice would stop
up the vent.
When cooking was done we learned to wait until the valve stopped jiggling,
then remove carefully then after steam stopped coming out to take to sink and
run cold water on before opening. Though I seem to remember some recipes the
directions said to take to sink immediately to stop cooking?
