Steam escapes from a pressure cooker when the pressure inside becomes greater that the weights used on the safety valve in the lid. Excessive escaping steam signals it is time to turn down the gas or electricity slightly. (Otherwise, the pressure cooker would eventually explode if the safety valve was not there to relieve the steam pressure!)

Why should the pressure inside the pressure cooker be released slowly?
Pressure cookers use steam. Steam, under the right circumstances, can run a locomotive. If you aren't careful releasing the steam from a pressure cooker, the lid can come flying off with the force of a locomotive. It can be very dangerous and not in a ..."whoops silly me" kind of way. More like a "call an ambulance, I don't think their gonna make it" kinda way.

When you get steam battery and sully's key what order do the steam paths go in on steamworks island?
The steam pressure coming in is "10", and the steam pressure that needs to come out is "5". So create a path where the connectors total "minus 5". Similarly, on the drawbridge, you will need to go through mostly "positive" connectors, so that the net gain is +6 (from 10 input to 16 output).
Why hot air bursts the safety valve whereas hot moisture comes out through whistle?
upon heating a pressure cooker filled with water, the steam formed inside lifts the whistle and comes out till the pressure inside falls to limit. the same if heated without filled with water the hot air should come out through whistle as the volume increases upon heating. instead the hot air bursts the safety valve. why?
