What is the CopperTech Pressure Pro?
The CopperTech PressurePro Pressure Cooker is a multi-use appliance that can be used as a rice cooker, slow cooker, yogurt maker, egg maker, canner, preserver, saute, warmer, and steamer. The cost of CopperTech PressurePro is $99.99 plus $29.95 shipping, for a total price of $129.94.
How Do Pressure Cookers Work?
Pressure cookers work by using pressurized heat and steam to cook foods faster. Most pressure cookers have a housing/heating unit, an inner pot, and a locking lid with a pressure release valve. When cooking, the lid is locked in place and as the inner pot is heated, pressure increases inside.
The locked lid should be designed to stay in place under pressure. When the food is done, the user should be able to use the pressure release valve to allow steam to escape, then safely remove the lid.
What's the Problem?
Dozens of pressure cookers have been recalled due to safety concerns, including explosions. If these pressurized appliances are defective, there is the possibility of an explosion, spraying scalding food and liquids for several feet and releasing shrapnel that can injure anyone nearby.

Steam burns can cause blisters and pain. When you inhale steam, it can cause serious breathing problems. Steam burns can be first, second, or third-degree. If you or someone else is burned by steam, remove the heat source and keep the injured area under cool, running water for at least 20 minutes.
