Adding a few drops of cooking oil or ghee to lentils while pressure cooking can completely prevent steam and water leaks, a tip that has become popular among home cooks.

Many home cooks, especially housewives, often struggle with steam and water leaking from pressure cookers when preparing lentils. The leakage not only creates a mess but can also affect cooking efficiency.

A straightforward solution that has gained viral attention suggests adding one or two drops of cooking oil or ghee to the lentils before sealing the cooker. The oil creates a thin film that helps seal the lid, preventing any leakage during the cooking process.

The tip has been widely shared on social media platforms, with users reporting that the simple addition effectively stops leaks without altering the taste or texture of the lentils. Culinary experts recommend using a neutral‑flavored oil or ghee in small quantities to achieve the best results.

Home cooks are encouraged to try this method the next time they prepare lentils in a pressure cooker, as it offers an easy, cost‑effective way to keep the kitchen clean and the cooking process smooth.
