The Hawkins 3-Litre Pressure Cooker has a stainless steel body. The handle does not become hot during cooking. We liked that this is easy to clean and use. While the body is dishwasher safe, the top lid is not.
it easy to clean? Yes! We cleaned it by hand and in a dishwasher (Bosch dishwasher). It is easy to clean by hand and all the turmeric stains come off easily. You don’t have to scrub it too hard. We cleaned the lid, whistle and the body in the dishwasher. While the stainless steel body of the cooker cleaned well, the lid did not. The strip of metal connecting the whistle and handle started to fade after just 1 wash.
The cooktops we used it on – Gas stove and induction.
We recommend that that the cooker should be used on a small burner/medium flame. When used on a big burner, the base turned black very quickly. This did not happen when used on a smaller burner.
One of the brands that most Indian homes trust when it comes to pressure cookers is Hawkins. We used the 3 Litre Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker by Hawkins in our test kitchen for over 3 months to check it for various aspects. We discuss the price, design details, ease of usage and much more in our Hawkins Pressure Cooker Stainless Steel 3 Litre
