No, it is not recommended to keep a pressure cooker in the fridge.
According to the reference provided, although pressure cookers are built to withstand high temperatures and pressure, storing them in the fridge is not advisable. The reference states that fridges are often crowded, and the non-stick coating of pans, including pressure cookers, can easily get scratched by other items, which reduces its non-stick properties.
Here's a breakdown of why you should avoid storing a pressure cooker in the refrigerator:
- Scratching:
- Fridges are usually packed with items.
- Pressure cookers, especially those with non-stick coatings, can easily be scratched by other objects.
- Scratches damage the non-stick layer, affecting its performance.
Therefore, storing the pressure cooker at room temperature, away from potential scratches, is the best approach to maintain its integrity and functionality.
