Overview
An inside-fitting lid, pressure locked while the cooker is in operation, closes the Futura O60 from within so rising pressure presses it tighter. A patented regulator resists clogging of the steam vent, and the body and lid are hard anodized.
The hard-anodized finish will not tarnish, pit, corrode or scratch and stops food from touching the aluminium core. Steam release is controlled by the fingertip, and the handles stay cool. The limit is cooktop: it is not for induction.
Who it's for
Households on non-induction stoves who pressure cook rice, lentils and stews will use the locked lid and controlled release. Those with induction ranges should look at an induction-rated cooker, and cooks wanting a timer and presets should look at an electric model.
Pros and cons
- Hard-anodized surface resists tarnish and scratches
- Lid pressure locked in operation
- Cool handles for safe moving
- Shielded safety valve
- Not usable on induction
- Operating pressure not stated
- Lid and body are aluminum underneath
Performance notes
The lid fits inside the pot, so internal pressure presses it against the seal, and the lock holds it shut during operation. The regulator is patented to prevent vent clogging, and a controlled fingertip release lets steam out gradually. The anodized layer stops food from touching the aluminium core.
