Claim 10:
11. A container assembly comprising:
a vessel;
a lid removably coupled to the vessel, the lid comprising:
an upper sidewall and a lower sidewall defining a chamber, wherein the upper sidewall extends above a sidewall of the vessel, and the lower sidewall projects into the vessel such that the chamber of the lid opens into the reservoir of the vessel, and
a circumferential rim extending in a radial direction between the upper sidewall and the lower sidewall and located at an interface with the vessel, wherein the rim is separated from the vessel by a gap, wherein the gap is open to the atmosphere outside the container; and

an annular gasket disposed at a sealing position between the vessel and the lid to seal an internal reservoir of the vessel from the gap,
wherein in response to the internal reservoir of the vessel reaching a threshold pressure, a portion of the gasket moves from the sealing position through the gap such that fluid held in the reservoir is vented through the gap to reduce the pressure of the reservoir.
