Topping it all off

The knob at the top of the Fast Slow Pro holds the lid in place. You also turn the knob to lock and unlock the lid when you pressure cook.

That lid

The lid on the Fast Slow Pro became loose after frequent use, which required me to tighten the center nut that holds the lid onto the unit. However, it took some investigating to find the problem.

Condensation cup

This cup catches condensation that drips from the lid when you open the Fast Slow Pro.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
