Works well
Size: 5 L Color: Black
This is very different from the pressure cookers I have used before that wouldn’t work on my induction range but this worked very well. Good instructions which include recipes.

Designed f0r India meals pls read
Size: 3 L Color: Black
We are a family of 2 often have 2 guests. Being American born we DO use a lot of meat. The cooker is great for 1-2 person American meals including most meats. Add in 1-2 more people. its not big enough . For vegetarians the cooker is fantastic, oh,, do not use lemons in the cooker put in after cooking ,,just stir the lemon juice in to the mixture,. Lemon.lime ..strong tomato juice can hurt the anodized finish please treat the pressure cooker as a Dutch Oven ,,handle gently.. avoid fruits, when cooking. Over all its quick,, the lid is tricky at first ,,takes 5 minutes to learn,, the lid seal will last and last and last forever is its well protected by/in placing the lid on/off. Overall quality is above average. Top pressure gauge is a smart valve thats easy to put on ,,take off,,,just use a little pressure, -Viola!! We like the cooking quickness comes with a 5 year warranty ,, Wow! Manual has suggested reciepes... to get you on track,, well prepared. Manual is well written ,, a good good publication that covers,, replacing parts,, easily,, safety safety -yup,, and cleaning procedures nicely.Well written you'll like this one!! Very good manual!! Enjoy !! ... show more

A good, solid Keeper of a small everyday pressure cooker
Size: 3 L Color: Black
I like the 3 L size: it heats up and gets to pressure fast - especially on my induction cook top - and it is convenient for cooking smaller recipes. I like that it is non-stick, anodized, and light-weight. I like that the sealing gasket is not exposed to food agents that might work to break it down. I like that parts are replaceable. It seems engineered to be safe, efficient, and affordable - and it looks nice. I like that it is easy to use: in the several times I've used it already, I've not had a problem opening or closing the lid, it has been easy to regulate the pressure, and food has turned out as I expected. The Manual is thorough, and it is essential to read it before using the pot for pressure cooking. With my induction cook top, it is possible to set a time and temperature program for heating up, venting, and consistent pressure cooking - and to walk away - as you would with an electric pressure cooker. (I recommend this process.) I doubt I'll use the Indian recipes in the manual, but there is a glossary and the recipes are educational. People have complained about the pressure valve; it is designed to melt if your pot gets dry and/or too hot. I have been sure to have enough water in the pot and to not let too much steam escape (the weight on the pressure relief valve helps to remind); it is for safe operation. There are 7 large holes in the pressure relief valve stem, and the chances of it ever plugging up completely are not likely - and it is easy to check and clean. The first time I used this Hawkins I was surprised at how fast it was and how little steam escaped from anywhere. It bears watching, though, and one can't be casual using it. That said, it's a Keeper, for sure. ... show more

Mistake
Size: 3 L Color: Black
It's too cumbersome, hard to get the lid on and off hard to clean. Can't see it on any cause so dark I really wish I had not bought this one.

Good size for one person
Size: 3 L Color: Black
I've had Futura 1.5 liter for about 10 years and like it but it is so small that sometimes things like rice or dry beans will foam up and blow out the top. (1 cup rice/2 cups water) I bought this Hawkins 3 liter to avoid that, with same amount of food in it. It solved the problem. One thing I like more about the Hawkins is that the lid is a little easier to get in and out. Less fiddling with the tight fit of the Futura. Still will use the Futura for camping though. I have the induction model and it seems to take longer to get to pressure than the Futura on a regular stove, but not a big problem. Just put it on and go do something, but stay in earshot to hear when the first blast of steam comes out. They call it a whistle but it is so sudden and loud that it makes me jump. I turn the induction hotplate burner down to 275 and it seems about right to get a blast every minute or so. ... show more

Heavier than regular Hawkins pressure cookers. Base heavy. I cannot imagine a life without these. I cook dals exclusively in this.
