Hawkins Contura Hard Anodized Induction Compatible Extra Thick Base Pressure Cooker, Black, 5L

Very good quality and easy to store. I use it once a week to make beans for me and my husband, since I don’t want to eat from a can. It’s large enough for 2 people’s meal.

The simplicity and solid construction of this thing— I believe it will outlast me, unless I have to replace the rubber gasket at some point and can’t find one.

Very useful for cooking

Great little pressure cooker. It works perfectly fine with the induction stove. The only issue I found is. it takes forever to heat.

Very good quality

Have used this only a dozen times since buying. Stopped working. Changed the the gasket rubber and checked everything. Basically just stopped working - just does not build pressure. Not sure if i had a defective piece, but recommend to avoid this model.

I like the 3 L size: it heats up and gets to pressure fast - especially on my induction cook top - and it is convenient for cooking smaller recipes. I like that it is non-stick, anodized, and light-weight. I like that the sealing gasket is not exposed to food agents that might work to break it down. I like that parts are replaceable. It seems engineered to be safe, efficient, and affordable - and it looks nice. I like that it is easy to use: in the several times I've used it already, I've not had a problem opening or closing the lid, it has been easy to regulate the pressure, and food has turned out as I expected. The Manual is thorough, and it is essential to read it before using the pot for pressure cooking. With my induction cook top, it is possible to set a time and temperature program for heating up, venting, and consistent pressure cooking - and to walk away - as you would with an electric pressure cooker. (I recommend this process.) I doubt I'll use the Indian recipes in the manual, but there is a glossary and the recipes are educational. People have complained about the pressure valve; it is designed to melt if your pot gets dry and/or too hot. I have been sure to have enough water in the pot and to not let too much steam escape (the weight on the pressure relief valve helps to remind); it is for safe operation. There are 7 large holes in the pressure relief valve stem, and the chances of it ever plugging up completely are not likely - and it is easy to check and clean. The first time I used this Hawkins I was surprised at how fast it was and how little steam escaped from anywhere. It bears watching, though, and one can't be casual using it. That said, it's a Keeper, for sure.

Great pressure pan! Excelent quality to be honest

Simple technology working wonders

nice product, same as described. it is heavy considering 3L.

Good product , using till date no issues.

The product cannot be faulted and will last pretty much forever. The only issue is the size , cooking for two, we have always had what we thought was a smaller pressure cooker.. but it was 4 litres, I bought the 5 litres..I should have bought the largest size available in the range. I guess we cook for the week so it is more like cooking for 10 people not two even though their are just two of us. If anyone else is buying to upgrade in size, buy the largest available. Apart from that Indian pressure cookers are the best, if anyone has a complaint against a Prestige or a Hawkins..they are using it wrong. One more thing is I have always been concerned about aluminum cookers and the acid from lime or curd, this one not only mitigates that, it works on induction which is a plus.

Compre esta olla a mediados de este mes con un costo de $1013.75. Y ahora buscando regalos navideños me la encuentro en $435 ¡!!!!! No se me hace correcto . Muuuy enojada!,,
