If any extra pressure appears, the valve will automatically release the steam to put everything back to normal. You don't even have to be near this pressure cooker and watch over him. Do your chores or spend some time with your family until the meal is ready.

Besides steam valve, there is another design trait that helps with controlling pressure. The exterior mirror finish and aluminum base are providing proper heat distribution to Fagor pressure cooker. The base is made just right so there isn't extra heat coming from the sides of a cooker, through the walls instead of the bottom.

Another safety mechanism is the lid that is closed tightly until all the pressure is being released. After your food is prepared, pressure cooker needs some time to release that pressure so you can serve the food. It would not be good to open the lid if there is pressure inside. This is what is very important to remember, so don't be confused when it won't open. It's just a safety mechanism to protect you.

Pressure cookers from Fagor come with a steamer basket and a trivet. Steamer basket is a place for food, it never comes in contact with water or any liquid. It is positioned right above the trivet. To build a pressure inside the basket, cooking liquid must reach a boiling point while the cooker is closed properly. Many times people do not close it properly and they can't reach the boiling point, thinking that their pressure cooker is broken.

When the liquid inside boils and releases steam, that steam can't escape and build up a pressure in stainless steel container. Sometimes the valve will release a bit of pressure when necessary. The food is being cooked on steam inly and under the pressure, which provides a healthy meal and a much faster prepared meal. You will need 70% time less to prepare any kind of food with Fagor pressure cookers.

After the cooking is finished, we need to remove the cooker from the burner and wait for pressure to drop. The contents inside will continue to cook until the level of temperature drops. To do that,put some cold water on the lid to release the pressure or you can wait for the pressure to be released by itself. Other option is to use valves that will release pressure themselves - all Fagor pressure cookers are equiped with one.
