Using a pressure cooker on a kerosene stove is not recommended and can be dangerous. Kerosene stoves are not designed for the same level of heat control and precision as modern gas or electric stoves, which are typically recommended for pressure cooker use.
Pressure cookers work by building up steam pressure to cook food quickly and efficiently. They require a stable and consistent heat source to regulate the pressure properly. Kerosene stoves may not provide the necessary heat control and stability, which can lead to unpredictable pressure levels in the cooker.
Furthermore, kerosene stoves produce an open flame, and pressure cookers are not meant to be used directly over an open flame. The high heat and flame could damage the pressure cooker's seals and handles, making it unsafe to use.
To ensure safety and proper cooking, it's best to use a pressure cooker on a stove that is specifically designed for cooking, such as a gas stove or an electric stove. These stoves provide better temperature control, stability, and safety features for pressure cooking. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and safety instructions when using any cooking appliance.
