Best Hawkins Pressure Cooker in India

The Hawkins Contura Black Pressure Cooker 5 Litre wears a 60-micron hard anodised finish. Hawkins says it absorbs heat faster and keeps the cooker looking new for years. The body does not react with food, according to the maker.

Rounded sides make stirring, seeing and removing food easier. The lid is stainless steel and locks from the inside.

Hawkins files the Hawkins Aluminium 3 Litre Contura Pressure Cooker under its aluminium range. Rounded sides give better visibility and make stirring easier. The improved pressure regulator saves fuel, says Hawkins.

The lid sits inside the body, and pressure holds it shut for safety.

The Hawkins Classic 5 Litre Pressure Cooker is made of pure virgin aluminium, with its exterior mirror polished. Hawkins calls the Classic its best-selling range. The regulator is improved, Hawkins says, so it saves more fuel and reduces spouting of frothy foods.

As with the others, the inside lid pressure-locks the cooker.

The Hawkins 3 Litre Miss Mary Handi Pressure Cooker has a curved body that eases stirring, food removal and visibility. Hawkins lists the metal as pure virgin metal under its aluminium cookers. The maker says an improved vent weight, or whistle, causes less dal spouting, cooks faster and saves fuel.

The Hawkins Contura 3.5 Litre Triply Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker uses 3 mm extra-thick tri-ply steel. Three layers form the wall. Food-grade 18/8 steel lines the inside. A heat-diffusing core sits in the middle. The outside is AISI 430 magnetic steel. Hawkins says the body heats base and sides evenly, so food and spices do not burn and stick.

The maker adds that it needs less oil, cleans easily and does not stain or pit. The plastic handles stay cool.
