""ISTR some kind of emergency pressure release system triggered on it.""

A little valve which had to be replaced every so often.

Our Prestige Pressure Cooker had so much use in the early days that it
developed a rounded bottom and rocked on the cooker.

Nothing to do with gardening I know, but I thought I would join in :-)

ISTR some kind of emergency pressure release system triggered on it.

Usually caused by overfilling the pressure cooker.
