This Jugaad Of Using Pressure Cooker To Iron Clothes Will Leave You Scratching Your Head

Indians are renowned for their ingenuity in devising innovative solutions with limited resources, a trait often affectionately referred to as ‘desi jugaad’. From makeshift gadgets to unconventional fixes, Indians excel at finding creative solutions using whatever’s at hand. Recently, a video of a woman ironing clothes with a pressure cooker went viral, showcasing this inventive spirit in action.

In the viral clip, a woman can be seen heating a pressure cooker on an induction stove. Once the pressure cooker reached the desired temperature, she promptly lifted it and began using it to iron a shirt.

The video was initially shared on Instagram by Moumita Chakraborty, who is also the same woman featured in the video. Hailing from Kolkata, West Bengal, Moumita is a video creator with a substantial following of over 49,000 on Instagram.

Subsequently, the video was reposted on social media platform X (Formerly Twitter) by a user named Shubhangi Pandit. The video has attracted significant attention, accumulating over 250,000 views and more than 1,000 likes, quickly capturing the interest of numerous users.

Despite its popularity, this particular ‘desi jugaad’ didn’t receive universal approval from social media users, because of concerns about its potential hazards. However, instead of criticism, many users added a humorous twist to the video, with witty remarks flooding the comments section.

A user remarked, “What an innovative way!” while an account humorously quipped, “India is not for beginners.” Another joked, “She has really understood science, especially Physics….”

Adding to the mix, a user wrote, “Thanks for this innovative idea! Those who opt for last-minute programming will benefit if ever caught in a hurry!”

Recently, another remarkable ‘desi jugaad’ caught the internet’s attention. Manasukh Bhai Prajapati, a visionary from Gujarat, introduced the extraordinary ‘Mitticool’ invention.

Engineered to keep fruits and vegetables fresh for a week and milk preserved for 24 hours, ‘Mitticool’ combines practicality with sustainability.
