The ZPOT pressure cooker is equipped with three independent pressure release mechanisms. If the unit is left unattended the main valve will begin to release excess pressure, next the safety valve will assist in releasing pressure and finally the gasket will protrude from the vent located on the side of the lid. Moreover, pressure will never build up if the automatic safety lock has not been properly closed. Once the pressure indicator has popped up, it will automatically block this safety lock, not allowing you to unlock and open the lid until all the pressure has been released.
