pressure cooker without the silicone gasket properly positioned. Do not

purchased online at www.fagoramerica.com.
7. Safety Valve: Located under the lid handle. The safety valve is used in the
event of excess pressure build-up. The pressure cooker cannot be opened
if there is still pressure inside the cooker.
8. Thermo Heat Conductive Base: Since the objective of a pressure cooker
is rapid cooking, the bottom of the pressure cooker pot has a thermo
heat conductive base, comprised of three layers of metal. The first layer
is stainless steel, which is safe for contact with food. Due to the fact that
aluminum should not come in contact with food and it does not have
magnetic properties, the aluminum middle layer is sandwiched between
the two outer layers. Aluminum is the best heat conductor and therefore
provides faster and more even heat distribution. The last layer is stainless
steel with magnetic properties, making the pressure cooker compatible with
induction cooktops.
9. Pressure Indicator: The pressure indicator is the red metal pin that sits
inside the lid handle. It lets you know when there is pressure inside the
cooker. As the pressure cooker heats and pressure builds, the pressure
indicator will rise automatically, allowing a slight amount of steam to escape
from the operating valve. If the pressure indicator is raised, the pressure
lock on the lid will be blocked and will not slide to the open position. If the
pressure indicator is not raised, you can safely open the lid.
10. Stainless Steel Steamer Basket and Trivet: The Helix Pressure Cooker
comes with a stainless steel steamer basket & trivet. They are used for
steaming foods under pressure without placing them directly in the cooking
liquid.
