The Blue Point pressure cooker collection is the perfect way to cook healthy meals quickly and easily. They are simple and safe to use and even easier to clean. Unlike pressure cookers of the past, Blue Points are silent, with multiple safety mechanisms so you can relax while the cooker prepares meals for you. The euromatic safety valve only engages once the lid is properly locked. It ensures a safe amount of steam is in the cooker and has an automatic valve that releases excess pressure, keeping the cooker at the perfect cooking temperature. The residual pressure block is another safety feature that only allows you to open the pressure cooker once it has been fully depressurized. The large blue indicator rod has two settings, gentle or speed cooking, and can easily be seen from a distance. Each pan also features large easy-grip, stay-cool handles to ensure a safe and comfortable grip.
