Hawkins Classic Pressure Cooker - Wide Design, Inner Lid, Silver, CL3W, 3 L

Ideal for 3 or 4 Persons. Made from pure virgin aluminium, the exterior mirror is polished. Base thickness 3.25 to 4.06 mm. Super-fast cooking. Improved pressure regulator saves more fuel. Inside-fitting safety lid will not open until the pressure falls. The Classic is Hawkins's largest-selling, most popular range of pressure cookers – perhaps because of its attractive combination of features, benefits and price.

Each Hawkins Classic features an inside-fitting lid. This design is inherently safer than conventional cookers. Thus Hawkins Classic pressure cooker is pressure-locked for safety – like a jetliner door! This range was the first to be introduced by Hawkins and has been kept fresh and current by numerous innovations and improvements over the years.

The latest improvement is a superior pressure regulating system that controls pressure to a narrower, more efficient range, reduces sprouting of frothy foods (such as dal) and is easier to insert and remove. The safety valve is located under the lid handle bar so that when it operates the steam is safely deflected downwards. The gasket has minimum exposure to steam inside the cooker, and does not rub every time the product is opened and closed – so lasts longer. Stay-cool handles. Fixed sturdy pivot does not put pressure on the plastic handles as it is a part of the metal handle itself. Thus handles last longer. Recommended for use on gas stoves.
