Unique Curved BodyThe unique body with rounded sides allows for easier stirring of food, better visibility and easy removal of food. For difficult dishes which require a lot of stirring, the Contura with its rounded sides is an ideal pressure cooker. |
Hard Anodised BodyThe 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. |
Food-grade Superior Stainless Steel LidA stainless steel lid along with the hard anodised body all over – inside and outside – ensures the highest levels of hygiene and durability! |
|
|
|
---|---|---|
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. |
Fixed Sturdy PivotThe fixed sturdy pivot assist 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 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 securely fasten the handles are safely recessed to limit the chances of your hand coming into contact with hot metal during cooking. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
must have product for an Indian cuisine based kitchen. whether you want to cook a traditional curry or just pressure cook veggies, this is an ideal product.
After fiddling with it I realized the problem and it was easily remedied, at least in my case. Inside the weighted release valve, there are 2 small pins that allow the valve to snap into place, what allows these pins to have the spring action is a retainer clip, which is the black band around the weighted valve. If, for some reason this band loses tension or there is some defect in the pins (perhaps it was not rounded off or it is too short), or in my case the band was not flush against the pins, upon release of the steam the valve goes beyond the groove of the steam release vent and almost comes off and will not fall back to the "lock" position. What I did was just slide the retainer ring a little and this remedied the problem. However, I didn't know if further problems may arise so I decided to return it nevertheless.
Strike one for iffy customer service.
Strike two for quality control in manufacturing. (there were few other reviews with same issue, if I recall)
However, I thought it really looked like a very solid well made cookware and I really liked it so I took a chance ordering the next size up 2L (again Amazon warehouse second). Boy did I luck out. It was less expensive than the 1.5 liter and it was basically brand new! I guess it was returned either unused or used once.
Needless to say, I am very very happy. Although I loved the compact size of 1.5L after using both 2L is so much more convenient. The greatest advantage to having this larger size (beyond the obvious that you can cook larger quantities), the size of the opening is just so much more roomy. The 1.5L opening is small, not impossible to deal with but when I used the 2L the difference is very noticeable. The access is very roomy. Granted, the larger space inside adds a little more time to building up steam but the larger opening makes getting out the food easier, washing easier and even taking off the cover easier as there is more room to maneuver. I guess I lucked out twice. If anyone asks I'll say the upgrade is very much worth it for the small difference in price. I would also recommend the anodized it is so easy to clean even when you over cook and the food is burnt (oops, yup I did that) the burnt food just came right off with a scrubbing sponge.
So to summarize, the unit is sturdy other than the apparent 3 weak links. One is the weighted valve, second is the gasket and the third is the safety release valve. All of which are sold here on Amazon as replacement parts. I guess if anything ever goes wrong, I'll see if one of those are the culprit and replace it on my own.
So for this particular unit I give 3 stars for all the hassle I had to go through to understand all the problems with the unit. However, I would give the 2L 4.5 stars (there still is the customer service issue) and would recommend the anodized unit.

Is that black circle that goes on the lid, and if is not put wright the lid won’t be sealed and closed properly.
The instructions don’t explain that part.
I asked online but whoever answered had no clue how to explain it.
Anyway there is a tiny white dot and that part has to be placed under the lid handle or otherwise it stays loose.
That’s the only issue I had with this.
Other than that everything alls is set.
Very good Product.
I am impressed.
I red ppl saying that leaks but I didn’t experience any leaks.
It does what is supposed to do Perfect.
Would def recommend this Product.
