What Does the Steam Release Cookware Knob Do?

This specialized Steam Lock Bakelite Knob isn't just for lifting the lid. Its core function revolves around managing internal steam pressure safely and effectively:

The Lock Function (Sealing):

Engage the lock mechanism by turning the Steam Release Cookware Knob to the "close" position (often indicated by a padlock symbol or a specific alignment mark).

This action creates a tight seal between the lid and the pot rim.

Result: Steam generated during cooking is trapped inside the pot. This significantly increases internal pressure and temperature, leading to faster cooking times, enhanced flavor infusion, and more tender results – similar to a gentle braise or steam, but without needing a dedicated pressure cooker. It also improves energy efficiency.

The Release Function (Venting):

When it's time to check your food, release pressure, or stop the cooking process, carefully turn the Steam Release Cookware Knob to the "open" position (often indicated by steam icon or an unlocked symbol).

This action breaks the seal created by the lock.

Result: The built-up steam is safely and gradually vented out through the gap between the lid and the pot, controlled by the knob mechanism. This prevents the sudden, dangerous eruption of hot steam and scalding liquid that can happen when lifting a sealed lid straight off.
