Review: Small but good for me! - I have a 6 liter cooker which was a little big for, say, 3-4 chicken leg quarters. This cooker is perfect for that. I had no problem after multiple uses with explosive or alarming steam release or such. It just hissed. I followed the instructions and it thoroughly cooks four thighs ‘n drumsticks (eight mins cook time after valve steam indicates operating temp). Item is of good quality. I recommend it for simple uses.
Review: Learn to center the lid. The inner lid must rise above the outer pot by about 2 millimeters or - This is my favorite pressure cooker. WMF 3 litre and WMF 6 litre pressure cookers are my two other pressure cookers. The WMF pressure cookers are very nice and very quiet. The six litre WMF is for large meat dishes or whole chickens. The 3 litre WMF is fine but still a little large for a single person. The Hawkins is a snap to use. Once you get the snap of centering the lid to get pressure it is amazing! Pressure is easier to maintain with the Hawkins once at pressure the valve is very quiet. The Hawkins has a spring valve as well. The WMF pressure cookers make a very disturbing noise when the pressure is getting to high. The Hawkins will his a little before it lets off a large burst of steam. You will learn when to lower the heat. With the WMF pressure cookers you are constantly playing with the heat. The Hawkins has a very heavy bottom but I do believe a heat diffuser would help. Very little water escapes. India has great technology. I see no reason to spend money on high dollar pressure cookers anymore. The Hawkins is very well made.
