Also is it loud when it take pressure?** A: 15-20 for a beef stew with cubed chuck (after the initial build up of pressure) Loudness is equivalent to old steam vent from radiator room heater blowing off steam or when your car overheats and steam escapes from radiator. HOWEVER, it's not constant it's only to gauge if there is enough steam pressure build up in the pot by waiting for the pot to literally blow off steam then you turn down the heat so it won't continuously do that. Also stove top pressure cooker is most suited for gas range not electric. Though you can use it on an electric but you may need to switch burners when it lets off steam to an unused cooler one to adjust temp faster. **Q: Has anyone used separators with the 5L cooker? Do you know which ones fit? Do the sellers recommend/include a particular separator for a higher price?** A: I have used the separator with a 3L cooker and fits perfectly. They make them in one size ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First time Pressure cooker experience! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 22 December 2024* Ok, First time Pressure cooker User and I needed something to cook food fast, and with tasty results: So my review: First read the instructions and recipe book that comes with the cooker. I didn't, of course I'm a man and don't need these instructions - wrong. Took half an hour to realise I hadn't a clue how to open the thing, or then close it. Unhook the top lever from the handle, twist it to 90 degrees to the pot handle, wiggle it a little and it comes apart. By then I realised it was a good idea to learn how to cook with it and read the recipe book. Weighed and measured the ingredients and water as per the recipe book, you do need scales and a jug measure, do not second guess. Put the seal around the outside rim of the top, and put together back on from the 90 degree angle and twist to the pot handle and hook. Take the weight off the lid and put aside close by (not on the heat - it hurts when you pick it up), put pot on high heat, when steam starts to come out of the top nozzle, put the weight back on and wait! Within a couple of minutes, there will be a very loud hiss of escaping steam, at which the first time experienced can lead to requiring clean underwear. Turn the heat down to between medium to low, if too high, there will be another escape and whoosh, but don't worry, just turn the heat slightly lower. Important point, Cooking time starts from the first hiss escape of steam, do not over cook by even a couple of minutes, (you can experiment later if you want) stick to the recipe is recommended. Wait till the pot cools before attempting to open, do not take the weight off immediately before doing this, there is a loud escape of steam, plus liquid from the contents which make a mess of your cooking area, stove and any other pots, pans, plates etc. nearby, requiring cleaning - not that I would know this being a man who doesn't need to read the very clear instructions! The pot retains adequate heat to keep the food very hot after the excess pressure is out of the pot. My first meal ( a stew) was far tastier than spending eight hours in a slow cooker. Preparation start to plate was around 30 minutes. Used it several times since, (soups and stews) and not been disappointed once. Main Tips: Read the instructions, then re-read them, watch the video in the promo or on YouTube, get and use Kg/g scales and 500ml measuring jug (don't bother with cups of this and that, not accurate enough). There's enough safety precautions involved, even if you leave on the stove at high heat for a couple of hours not to explode, but will damage the pot inside through burning - it will not explode. Clean pot thoroughly ASAP after meal, baked on crud from previous meals can build up and especially around inner pot edge and will not allow seal to be effective to build pressure. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 13 January 2026* Very good and a good size ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best pressure cooker *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 3 September 2024* This is bang on money, easy to clean, decent appearance and does job in literally half of the time compared to other pressure cookers as build up strong pressure. The size is decent to serve 6 pax at max. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hawkins 2 Litre Contura Black Pressure Cooker, Hard Anodised Inner Lid Cooker, Handi Cooker, Small Cooker, Black (CB20) - Hawkins B1010 3 Piece Pressure Cooker Safety Valve - B1010-3pcSet - Hawkins A10-09 Gasket Sealing Ring for Pressure Cookers, 2 to 4-Liter, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/48567265-hawkins-contura-hard-anodised-aluminium-pressure-cooker-2-liters-black](https://www.desertcart.us/products/48567265-hawkins-contura-hard-anodised-aluminium-pressure-cooker-2-liters-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-26*
