## Description

From the manufacturer Food-Grade Superior Stainless Steel The Hawkins stainless steel pressure cooker body and lid are made from food-grade, 18/8, non-magnetic, superior stainless steel (AISI Grade 304). The '18/8' symbolises that this stainless steel grade contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, for greater anti-corrosion resistance, and to better withstand the various acids found in many foods such as fruits, meats, milk, and vegetables. It is hence one of the best quality stainless steel grades used for making cooking utensils. Type 304 stainless steel has great strength, which means that, properly used, your Hawkins stainless steel pressure cooker will give you many years of faithful service. Food-Grade Superior Stainless Steel Lid The 18/8 superior stainless steel lid ensures the highest levels of hygiene and durability. 5.8 mm Extra-thick, Heat-Diffusing Sandwich Bottom The pressure cooker body and lid are made of food-grade, superior stainless steel for maximum hygiene and durability. On the outside bottom of the pressure cooker, sandwiched between two sheets of stainless steel, is a core of 4.1 mm thick aluminium, which spreads heat quickly and evenly. This means no hotspots - food will not burn or stick. The external base is made of AISI Grade 430 magnetic stainless steel, which means that your Hawkins stainless steel pressure cooker will work on both gas & induction cooktops. The extra-thick base stays flat and never bulges. It can be used safely for light and deep frying before pressure cooking. The Hawkins Pressure-Locked Safety Lid The unique Hawkins pressure-locked safety lid ensures that when there is pressure inside the cooker, the lid is pressure-locked like a modern jetliner door. It cannot be opened until the pressure has fallen to a safe level. Perfect Sealing through Better Design – 'Play' The lid handle bar is so attached to the lid that there is extra space for deliberate 'play' or movement. This ensures perfect sealing of the lid with the rim of the cooker body. This is an advanced design feature - do not try to tighten the bar and remove this 'play'! Fixed Sturdy Pivot The fixed sturdy pivot assists the self-centralising lid in locking securely and safely in place, ensuring a steam-tight seal. It is also designed so that no undue pressure is put on the plastic handles, as it is part of the metal handle itself. Thus the handles last longer. Superior Pressure Regulation The improved pressure regulation system regulates pressure better, cooks faster, saves more fuel, is easier to insert and remove and reduces sprouting of frothy foods (such as dal). Automatic Safety Valve The automatic safety valve is positioned such that, if it operates, the steam and food are deflected safely downwards. Longer Lasting Gasket As the lid fits from inside, the gasket does not get rubbed sideways, or cut or scraped every time the pressure cooker is opened or closed. Further, exposure of the gasket to food acids in the pressure cooker is minimised due to the protection given to it by the rim of the lid. Sturdy, Stay-Cool Handles Your pressure cooker comes with stay-cool handles which are easy and comfortable to hold while cooking. The handles are designed to provide optimal comfort and protection from excessive heat when the cooker is in use. The metal screw and rivets used to fasten the handles are safely recessed to limit the chances of your hand coming into contact with hot metal during cooking. Unique Curved Body The cooker body is given the right curvature, which has three benefits: food is easy to stir during the cooking that is done prior to pressure cooking; this helps prevent the food from sticking or burning which can otherwise be a problem in stainless steel, and clean-up is so easy! Works on Gas + Induction Cooktops The AISI Grade 430 magnetic external base of the pressure cooker means that it can be used on induction cooktops. In addition, it is recommended for use on gas, electric, ceramic and halogen cooktops as well. The 5.8 mm extra-thick base always stays flat and maintains proper contact even after heavy-duty use. The Hawkins Cookbook Advantage A cookbook or instruction manual is supplied free of cost with each pressure cooker. It valuable and practical information on the proper use and care of your pressure cooker, and a variety of tested recipes as well. Feel free to experiment and develop your own recipes once you are comfortable using your pressure cooker! The Hawkins Test Kitchen The test kitchen writes instructions for the user, develops recipes and solves customer problems. The test kitchen tests products from the consumer’s point of view. If a prototype has some issues at the testing stage, the test kitchen sends it back to the R&D Centre for improving the design. Certified by UL UL Certificate No. SA5984 .

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm looking for this pressure cooker and now I've narrowed down my search between this Hawkings and the T-fal P2510737. Which one is the best?**
A: The Hawkins is the best, by far. It is cheaper and easier to maintain because all parts are available for it. You could build a new one from scratch if you wanted to. The closure is much gentler on the gasket, so the gasket lasts longer. The gasket is a simple rubber ring that costs less than $5 to replace. The gasket is protected from the pressure cooker's contents by a lip around the lid. If you were desperate, you could probably substitute a greased-up leather shoelace for the gasket, because the design is so simple (although that would probably be dangerous to do in reality). Most modern pressure cookers are very safe, but their closure and locking mechanism is complicated and relatively fragile. Pressure cookers that were dropped hard on the floor have resulted in fatalities. The Hawkins design makes it physically impossible for the lid to come out of the pressure cooker, even if it is damaged.The Hawkins safety features are very reliable, and they will continue to function even if the pressure cooker is damaged. For example, the emergency pressure release valve will open by physically melting if it gets too hot, or it will blow out mechanically if the pressure is too high. Although the safety valve must be replaced if that happens, its design is so simple that you can trust it to always work, a bonus is that they are so cheap you can buy several to keep around in case they are needed.The Hawkins design has been in continuous production since the 1950's, so you never have to worry about the availability of parts. Other companies change models every year, so you are forced to buy a new pressure cooker when it needs minor maintenance. For the safety, reliability, maintainability, and low total cost of ownership, the Hawkins beats every other pressure cooker ever made. There are few that come close to the Hawkins, but none of them were able to surpass the Hawkins, and most of them have been discontinued anyway. The Hawkins always wins on nearly every point.

**Q: Is the grid included? Or will I have to buy separately?**
A: It's included.

**Q: will it work on an Induction cook top?**
A: Hawkins makes the Hevibase Pressure Cooker specifically for induction cook tops

**Q: is the lid solid enough?looks like lot of metal is replaced by plastic here as compared to classic model?**
A: The lid is metallic like the old pressure cooker not plastic.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Pressure Cooker Saga
*by T***Y on 2 May 2025*

Had it a while but just encountered a disappointment caused by my trust of this page and the information it provides. The replacement gasket shown on this page, that you can buy as a bundle with this pressure cooker, does not fit this pressure cooker. Just ordered it, so I have one around when the current one begins to fail. The photo of the ill fitting Gasket I just purchased is included with this review. Got into using pressure cookers a couple of years back, when I got a Tower one of the same size as this one. Was all okay until it came to replacing the gasket sealing ring; they were out of stock for months on end, so I got in touch with customer services, who I can only assume took one from out of a cooker they had on a shelf somewhere. Anyway, it was as useless as an ashtray on a motorbike and by then we'd had enough ruined food from this thing that we couldn't be bothered with anymore dealing with Tower and simply researched Pressure cookers and found this one. A completely different design to the Tower one we had, that looked unlikely to flood the top of our hob, like the Tower one did when it was on it's last legs. Totally happy with this one, does a great job. Kept the old Tower thing to measure out the water content, because this one doesn't have fill lines but no worries, it just cluttered up the place for an extra week until I had measured out all the food types I use the pressure cooker on. Ironic ending to this saga, which I think reflects the state of British manufacturing; the day after the new Hawkins pressure cooker arived, Tower E-mailed me to let me know they now have sealing rings in stock.
