Overview
An automatic pressure regulator manages the steam on this stainless steel Futura cooker. The lid closes with an inner and an outer piece and locks, and the cooker ships with its gasket.
Simplicity defines it: manual operation, a stainless body and a regulator that does the pressure control. Because it has no electronics, there is little to fail. The listing is thin, so it does not state cooktop compatibility or operating pressure.
Who it's for
Cooks who batch rice, beans and stews on the stove will use the regulator and the stainless build. Those who want a plug-in cooker with programs, or who need confirmed cooktop compatibility, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Stainless steel body
- Automatic pressure regulator
- Locking lid for safety
- Five year warranty
- Cooktop compatibility not listed
- Operating pressure not stated
- Manual operation only
Performance notes
A regulator releases steam when pressure reaches its set point, which governs how hot the contents get. The two-part lid closes against the gasket and locks, so pressure builds without leaks. Stainless steel resists staining and does not react with acidic food.
