Is it dangerous to use a presure cooker on wood burning stove?

It is not recommended to use a pressure cooker on a wood burning stove. Pressure cookers are designed to be used on a stovetop or cooktop that can provide a controlled and consistent heat source. Wood burning stoves, on the other hand, produce an uneven and fluctuating heat, which can cause the pressure cooker to overheat and potentially rupture or explode. This can be extremely dangerous and can cause severe injuries.

Additionally, wood burning stoves often have an open flame, which can pose a fire hazard if the pressure cooker is not properly positioned and monitored. It is also important to note that the high temperatures and direct exposure to the fire can damage the pressure cooker and reduce its lifespan.

Therefore, it is best to use pressure cookers only on a stovetop or cooktop that is specifically designed for their use.
