Which consequence results when a pressure cooker's relief valve fails during use?

💡 Explanation

A blocked valve prevents controlled depressurization, raising internal pressure drastically. Latent heat overwhelms the vessel causing a rapid chain reaction releasing steam via explosive boiling, a phenomenon called Phase Explosion, because the water transforms to vapor too quickly, therefore steam explosion occurs rather than a controlled pressure release.
