Who May Find This Useful

For those of you who have the "Stay & Go", I have a question. I saw a commercial for it on TV yesterday & my husband asked if the lid can be locked on while it is cooking or only when it is being transported. He was concerned that if it could be locked on during cooking that it could become a "pressure cooker".
 
Yes

Look around at your local stores before buying this online/telephone

The price is much cheaper (as I stated above)

I LOVE my Stay and Go
