The cookware's heavy-duty profiled aluminum construction heats up quickly and provides anti-rust performance for long-term use. The pot's selective pressure controller maintains a steady internal pressure, while the vent on the lid allows for proper steam escape. For added safety, the pot's spare steam vents include a reusable overpressure plug (the red pin in the center pushes out, releasing steam). If more steam is needed, the gasket release window will push out from opening the cover. In addition, a spring-loaded safety device prevents the pot from overpressing before it is securely closed, and a sturdy lid-locking system prevents the lid from being opened when the pot is pressurized.
