As the pressure increased, eventually the container would burst. Before such a dangerous pressure is reached, a safety valve would open and automatically release the pressure, preventing the container from bursting. An example is the safety valve fitted to the lid of a domestic pressure cooker used in the kitchen. When the safety valve opened, steam would be released and warn the cook to turn heat on the kitchen stove down to a safer level.
