Why do we put spoon inside pressure cooker. ?

 It is one of the kitchen tricks.


It is said that whatever we cook in pressure cooker , we must put a spoon along with it.


No .... No ..........


Spoon will not get cooked.       !!!!!!


Because of pressure ,  there forms bubbles when we put rice or dal to cook using pressure cooker .


This results in seepage of water from pressure cooker.


If we put a spoon along with rice or dal ( with water ofcourse.  !!!!  ) , it stops the water from coming up.


There by it reduces the pressure building up inside pressure cooker.


Some people put 1 spoon of oil alongwith cooking substances inside pressure cooker.  Reason is the same.


By doing this , the moisture present inside the substances will not get escape and there will not be water seepage .

Why there is more oil in Venezuela than any country in the world ???

It is mainly due to geological reasons.


Venezuela has vast unconventional oil reserves. Perticularly extra heavy crude.


These reserves are very extensive. Specific geological formations have trapped these hydrocarbons in place for millions of years.


But extracting and processing this heavy crude oil can be challenging and costly due to technological and infrastructure issues.


Gulf country oil is like water and easily extracted whereas Venezuelan oil is extra heavy.


That's why Venezuela didn't prosper like gulf countries despite having vast oil reserves  !!!
