Excellent stainless steel cooker Heavy base Proper steam Reliable Must have

Es muy bonita pero demasiado pequeña, hay que cocinar con muy poco líquido porque al soltar el aire lo vota por todo lado, la conservaré per compraré una un poco mas grande.

Makes pressure cooking for 1 or 2 people easy. Mine is mostly for cooking soaked beans. Just right to cook 1 cup dry legumes.

It's small. That's what I wanted. However, I have several deal-breaking problems with it. First, the pressure release happens very suddenly and violently. Instead of releasing a small/tiny amount often, it releases a huge amount infrequently. It doesn't matter much what setting my induction stove is on. The pressure build and then, Krakatoa. Then, I have to get the cat's claws released from the ceiling, and grab a new pair of undies. It's violent, and extremely loud. There should not be hysteresis in the pressure! The weigh thingy has some grab to it, instead of just being a dead weight. Also, when it blows, the pressure inside drops a lot, and then starts building again. So temperature/pressure is varying a lot instead of being constant, which is what you want. Also, there is a very metallic smell to it, that I can't seem to get rid of. My rice smelled and tasted like metal even after washing/cleaning with everything I could think of, like baking soda, soap, and vinegar in succession. For the rather exorbitant price, I expect it to work without breaking the sound barrier, and making my food taste horrible. It's a good buy if you either want to waste time returning it, or work on the serious problem of trying to fill our landfills. But don't cook with it.

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.

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.

The quality is great and so is heat induction and cooking! However, unlike all other Hawkins pressure cooker, the edges (rim of the main cooker) appears to be extremely sharp and narrow! This does not seem normal! And the product may actually cut your hands if you're not fully attentive while cleaning!

Excellent quality product

Nicely made solid SSteel pressure cooker,I have an expensive 8 litre Fissler and I like this one is better,awesome curries,quicker than the Fissler,very cute…fits 300 grams of goat,lamb,and a big chunked potatoe..oh and the basmati and jasmine rice is amazing,yes I have 4 zoji rice cookers..3 minutes in the Hawkins and my rice cookers are stashed away,I need another.

worked only 2 times. Now steam is just coming out. very bad quality. Dont purchase it. costly to order from India and ship back

Es muy práctica, es lo que esperaba, para mí el inconveniente es que el instructivo solamente es en inglés, sería bueno que fuera también en español, siempre sale de pronto vapor con fuerza aún con flama baja, luego se normaliza pero si me pone nerviosa

I should have purchased the 3 litre size because it’s smaller than expected. I didn’t want a large pressure cooker
