Carbonated Beverage in Pressure Cooker This recipe for Root Beer Pulled Pork Sandwich is written for 8 hours in a slow cooker. I'm considering doing it for an hour in a pressure cooker.

I'll paraphrase the cooker ingredients at the click through:


1 pork tenderloin
12 oz. can of Root Beer
Salt and smoke flavor


Would the the carbonated liquid under pressure be a concern? I think there should be no problems. But when tinkering with pressure, a second opinion is prudent.
Every pressure cooker comes with a safety valve. 

So even if not most of the CO2 is lost during pouring and heating, the safety valve will make sure nothing bad happens. 

That you should always make sure the valve is in good condition and working is a general pressure cooker rule independent of the liquid used.
