Futuro Pressure Cooker
Components and Features
1. Pressure Cooker Pot: Made of
high-quality, heavy-gauge
stainless steel, all cooking takes
place in the pressure cooker pot.
2. Lid: Made of high-quality, heavy-
gauge stainless steel, the lid
must be properly locked in position
in order to build-up sufficient
pressure for cooking. The raised
indentation on top of the lid, located
to the left of the handle, allows you
to easily position the lid by lining it
up to the cutout on top of the base
handle.

the lid handle contains important
components vital to the use of the
pressure cooker.
