Not super relevant but pressure cookers only go up to about 1 bar. They definitely would blow before 5.

1 bar is atmospheric pressure. I.e., as far as you in your kitchen are concerned, no pressure at all.

Pressure is very often stated as gauge pressure, i.e. zero-referenced against ambient air pressure. 1 bar gauge pressure is roughly equal to 2 bar absolute pressure.
