Brilio.net - Pans are one of the kitchen utensils that are often used by a number of people. So that the cooking water in it cooks quickly, many people deliberately put a lid on the pot. Sometimes, the lid of the pan is even placed on the pan during the cooking process.
However, due to frequent use, the pot lid usually gets damaged. Yes, the part of the pot lid handle that functions as a handle actually came loose and fell off. If this is the case, the pot lid cannot be used optimally.
Knowing this, a number of people immediately threw away the pot lid. Even though there are ways that can be practiced to repair a pot lid handle that has already fallen off. The method was demonstrated by Instagram user @rumahdhiba. In his video upload, this netizen appears to be relying on a type of household waste to patch the handle of his pot lid.

Well, the household waste in question is used toothpaste packaging. To do this, first cut the top of the used toothpaste packaging with a cutter. Do it slowly so that the cut results are neat, OK?

If so, cut the middle part too. Then cut out the part in a circle shape. Make sure the circle cut is the same size as the top cut.
"This is used to coat the top of the pan," he explained, quoted by BrilioFood from Instagram @rumahdhiba on Friday (10/5).

After that, insert the top piece of the used toothpaste packet into the hole in the pot lid. Then place the other piece over the hole. Hold with your fingers so that all the pieces of used toothpaste packaging are installed perfectly.

How to install the pressure cooker lid so it doesn't explode.
Installing the pressure cooker lid correctly is an important step to prevent accidents or explosions when using the pressure cooker. Here are the steps to install the pressure cooker lid safely:
1. Make sure the rubber seal is in good condition.
Check the rubber seal around the pressure cooker lid. Make sure there is no damage or wear to the rubber seal. If the rubber seal is damaged or worn, replace it with a new one before using the pressure cooker.
2. Clean the edges of the pan and cover.
Make sure the edge of the pan and lid of the pressure cooker are clean and dry before installing. Dust, food scraps, or other debris can interfere with the rubber seal and cause leaks.
3. Check the position of the rubber seal.
Make sure the rubber seals are in the correct position and that nothing is folded or bent. Make sure the rubber seal is placed evenly around the edge of the pan to create a perfect seal.
4. Install the cap correctly.
Place the pressure cooker lid on the pan carefully, making sure the rubber seal is inside the indentation on the edge of the pan. Gently press the lid down to ensure it is secure and there are no gaps between the lid and the pan.
5. Check the handle.
Make sure the pressure cooker lid handle is locked properly and nothing is loose or damaged. A loose or damaged handle can result in the lid not fitting properly and increasing the risk of an accident.
By following the steps above, you can install the pressure cooker lid safely and reduce the risk of accidents or explosions when using the pressure cooker. Be sure to check and maintain your pressure cooker regularly to maintain its safety and performance.
