    Troubleshooting: How to Remove a Stuck Pan from a Pressure Cooker

    GUYS, THE FREEZING METHOD WORKED! (but only to a certain extent) as was suggested, I filled the empty lower space with water and froze for many days and the ice actually expanded and pushed the pan a bit. OK, it didn't push the stuck lid out completely, but it was now possible to pass in a...

    Troubleshooting: How to Remove a Stuck Pan from a Pressure Cooker

    haha, maybe we could share the pudding once it's out but I really don't want to give up on it that's why I've not yet taken it to have the lid grinded off - BTW, it's still in the freezer and the ice has not managed to pop the lid off.

    Troubleshooting: How to Remove a Stuck Pan from a Pressure Cooker

    ok, here's the problem. I've got a pan stuck (horizontally) flat inside a pressure cooker and I just can't get it out. The outer circumference of the pan is exactly the same at the inner circumference of the pressure cooker and I have things under this pan which I was heating in the pressure...
