Xtra Thick Hard Anodised BodyThe Contura Black XT pressure Cooker comes with a Xtra Thick Body that helps in cooking the food quickly and evenly. The beautiful, durable black finish given by 60 microns thick hard anodising has two benefits. It makes the pressure cooker absorb heat faster making it more energy-efficient. And your pressure cooker stays looking new for years. |
Unique Curved BodyThe 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 and clean-up is so easy! For difficult dishes which require a lot of stirring, the Contura with its rounded sides is an ideal pressure cooker. |
Induction Compatible Xtra Thick Base of 4.88mmThe 4.88,mm Xtra Thick base cooks quickly and evenly. Additionally, permanently attached to the Xtra Thick base is a plate of AISI 430 magnetic stainless steel which makes the cooker induction compatible. |

Food-Grade Superior Stainless Steel lidThe food grade stainless steel lid along with the hard anodised body all over - inside and outside - ensures the highest levels of hygiene and durability! |
The Hawkins Pressure-Locked Safety lidThe 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 PivotThe 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 RegulationThe New 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 ValveThe automatic Safety Valve is positioned such that, if it operates, the steam and food are deflected safely downwards. |
|
|
|
---|---|---|
Longer Lasting GasketAs 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 HandlesYour 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. |
Works on Gas + Induction cooktopsPermanently attached to the Xtra Thick base is a plate of AISI 430 grade magnetic stainless steel which makes the cooker Induction Compatible. 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 cooker is great for 1-2 person American meals including most meats. Add in 1-2 more people.
its not big enough . For vegetarians the cooker is fantastic, oh,, do not use lemons in the cooker put in after cooking ,,just stir the lemon juice in to the mixture,. Lemon.lime ..strong tomato juice can hurt the
anodized finish please treat the pressure cooker as a Dutch Oven ,,handle gently.. avoid fruits, when cooking.
Over all its quick,, the lid is tricky at first ,,takes 5 minutes to learn,, the lid seal will last and last and last
forever is its well protected by/in placing the lid on/off. Overall quality is above average. Top pressure gauge is a smart valve thats easy to put on ,,take off,,,just use a little pressure, -Viola!!
We like the cooking quickness comes with a 5 year warranty ,, Wow! Manual has suggested reciepes... to get you on track,, well prepared. Manual is well written ,, a good good publication that covers,, replacing parts,, easily,, safety safety -yup,, and cleaning procedures nicely.Well written you'll like this one!! Very good manual!! Enjoy !!
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.
Top reviews from other countries
1. Time-Saving Wonder: Let's face it, I don't always have hours to spare for cooking. This pressure cooker's rapid heating on an induction cooktop means I can whip up a delicious meal in a fraction of the time it would take with conventional cookware.
2. Durability Matters: I'm all about investing in kitchen gear that lasts, and this pressure cooker doesn't disappoint. The thick base not only helps with even cooking but also ensures it can handle the rigors of bachelor cooking.
3. Safety First: Since I'm not a seasoned chef, safety is a priority. The pressure cooker comes with foolproof safety features, so even someone with minimal cooking experience (like me) can use it confidently.
4. Culinary Versatility: From one-pot pasta dishes to hearty stews, this cooker handles a variety of recipes effortlessly. It's a bachelor's dream for preparing quick and tasty meals.
5. Minimal Cleanup: After a meal, the last thing I want to do is spend ages scrubbing pots and pans. The non-stick interior makes cleanup a breeze, which is a huge win in my book.
6. User-Friendly: I appreciate that it's designed with ease of use in mind. The handles are practical, and the lid seals without any fuss, making cooking a breeze even for a bachelor like me.
In summary, this induction-compatible, thick-based pressure cooker has been a lifesaver for this spinster. It's fast, reliable, and simplifies my cooking endeavors. If you're a fellow spinster looking to up your culinary game without the hassle, I highly recommend adding this pressure cooker to your kitchen arsenal. It's the ultimate kitchen wingman.
