Yes a springloaded weight may come under the general classification of developed weight and indeed this is one. The hole where the regulator goes is the same as the old jiggle top PCs a small hollow pipe upon which sits a pressure regulator. Some are just weights and some get their weight (developed) by a spring or just plain weight. These are distinctly different from second generation PCs which also have a spring loaded pressure regulating mechanism which is distinctly
different. I used a Tfal for years which is a developed weight pressure cooker for years and years with excellent results. It just takes some
getting used to and understanding the signals that the pressure cooker gives off.

Fagors are fine pressure cookers. Have you read the thread that I pointed you to? Have you tried cooking(?) water only so that you get used to the
sound of the pressure cooker? Doing this you will develop the skills necessary to successfully use the pressure cooker in complete safety.
