As an asian, cooker is essential for most of our cooking and this hawkins cooker does its job, nice material, easy to clean and easy to tenderize meat. It is a bit heavy which is great. Review: In which I hope to correct a couple of misperceptions I read about in other reviews. - I don't review much, for which I apologize, but I took a chance on a 3 liter anodized Hawkins stovetop pressure cooker despite a few worrying reviews and remarks in reviews, and after using this to cook family-of-four sized portions of dried giant white beans, chickpeas and french lentils I wanted to circle back and make a couple of points. The most important is the idea, expressed in a couple of reviews, that it is impossible to put the lid on and take the lid off without dunking the lid into your food preparation. Without calling anyone out by name, I strongly suspect that reviewers who had this experience didn't bother to read the instructions. At least the model of cooker I bought is ingeniously designed, with an oval shaped opening. When you hold the lid handle at 90 degrees (perpendicular) to the base handle it is very easy to insert the lid into the pot. I would say at most it needs to dip down three-quarters of an inch into the pot, which won't bring it anywhere near your food unless you have majorly overfilled it. The second "issue" which I read about in at least one review, is the idea that the lid will fall into the food when you go to open the pot. Really, both of these issues stem from the sensible but unusual design of this cooker, which is that the lid, rather than resting on top of the pot as it would in a normal saucepan, fits under the rim of the lid. What this means is that the pressure you build up while cooking doesn't force the lid off the pot; in fact it enhances the seal between the pot and the lid. Intuitively this seems to me a much safer way to cook under pressure. However, it does take a very little bit of getting use to; if you release the lid once you are done cooking, after the pressure has diminished, it will fall into the food if you let go of the handle. Because the lid IS inside the pot. However, all you have to do is keeping holding the handle as you turn it perpendicular to slide it out, using exactly the opposite of the motion you used to put the lid on. It isn't exactly brain surgery. I like to eat beans and grains, but in summer I find chickpeas can take two hours or more to cook on the stovetop even after a good overnight soaking, and having the burner on that long doesn't help with the summer temperatures! I'm now cooking them in this Hawkins cooker in less than fifteen minutes. I can't detect any loss of texture or any other difference in the finished result, and I'm very pleased I bought this for quick smaller pressure-cooker jobs. I have a giant pressure cooker for canning, but there is no way I can be bothered to get it out every time I want to make a little hummus. This is a worthy and useful addition to my kitchen arsenal that is going to continue to get a lot of use. ## Features - Enjoy healthy, homemade food everyday with the ease and time-saving convenience offered by this Contura Hard Anodized Pressure Cooker from Hawkins - The improved pressure regulator controls and regulates the pressure level inside the cooker - This pressure cooker comes with a curved body for easy stirring of food - Made from the finest aluminum material, this pressure cooker is resistant to corrosion - With a hard anodized body, this pressure cooker absorbs heat at a faster rate making it more energy efficient - Included components: valve ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00SX03I5I | | Best Sellers Rank | #12,878 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #9 in Pressure Cookers | | Brand | HAWKINS | | Brand Name | HAWKINS | | Capacity | 2 liters | | Closure Type | Outer Lid | | Color | Contura Black | | Control Method | Touch | | Controller Type | Hand Control | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 39,085 Reviews | | Finish Type | Brushed | | Global Trade Identification Number | 08901165027821, 08901165027845 | | Included Components | valve | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 13.5"D x 7.75"W x 5.8"H | | Item Type Name | Pressure Cooker | | Item Weight | 3.8 pounds | | Manufacturer | Hawkins | | Material | Hard Anodised (Aluminum) and Stainless Steel | | Model Number | CB20 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Part Number | 8901165027845 | | Product Dimensions | 13.5"D x 7.75"W x 5.8"H | | Special Features | Electric Stovetop Compatible, Gas Stovetop Compatible | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 5-Year warranty for defects in material and workmanship.

Also is it loud when it take pressure?** A: 15-20 for a beef stew with cubed chuck (after the initial build up of pressure) Loudness is equivalent to old steam vent from radiator room heater blowing off steam or when your car overheats and steam escapes from radiator. HOWEVER, it's not constant it's only to gauge if there is enough steam pressure build up in the pot by waiting for the pot to literally blow off steam then you turn down the heat so it won't continuously do that. Also stove top pressure cooker is most suited for gas range not electric. Though you can use it on an electric but you may need to switch burners when it lets off steam to an unused cooler one to adjust temp faster. **Q: Has anyone used separators with the 5L cooker? Do you know which ones fit? Do the sellers recommend/include a particular separator for a higher price?** A: I have used the separator with a 3L cooker and fits perfectly. They make them in one size ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice pressure cooker *by S***A on August 15, 2026* Nice pressure cooker.
