The Hawkins Classic Induction Pressure Cooker – 3 Litre is the induction-compatible version of Hawkins' celebrated Classic aluminium cooker series — ideal for households that cook on induction cooktops or want the flexibility of a cooker that works on both gas and induction without compromise. The cooker is made from commercially pure, virgin aluminium with a mirror-polished exterior and the same proven 3.25 mm base thickness as the standard Classic, but with a specially engineered induction base that allows it to work on induction, gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen cooktops. This makes it one of the most versatile cookers in the Classic family — a single cooker for any kitchen setup, present or future. Dimensions are 38.88 × 19.38 × 17.9 cm, and the cooker is suited for families of 3 to 4 people. Hawkins backs it with a full 5-year guarantee.
All the safety and cooking features of the standard Classic are retained in the Induction variant: the pressure-locked inner lid that cannot open under pressure; the improved vent weight (pressure regulator) that reduces dal sprouting and speeds up cooking; the shielded safety valve under the lid handle bar; and stay-cool handles with metal pivots for durability. The cooker is 100% leak-tested before dispatch. The induction base is a genuine differentiator — not all aluminium pressure cookers can be made induction-compatible without compromising the base flatness that is critical for good induction contact. Hawkins' engineering ensures the induction base stays perfectly flat through heavy daily use, maintaining efficient heat transfer across the full cooking surface. The box includes the cooker, lid, vent weight, rubber gasket, guarantee card, cookbook, and service centre directory.
The specially engineered induction base allows this Classic to work on induction, gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen cooktops — making it future-proof for any kitchen change or upgrade. A single cooker that handles every cooking surface in the Indian home.
Made from commercially pure aluminium — stronger and more hygienic than recycled metal — with a 3.25 mm base that ensures even heat distribution on every cooktop type, preventing hot spots and uneven cooking at the base.
The inside-fitting lid locks under pressure and cannot be opened until internal pressure drops to a safe level. This pressure-locked design is inherently safer than conventional outer-lid cookers regardless of which cooktop it is used on.
The 2005-upgraded pressure regulator maintains a more efficient pressure range for faster cooking and reduced sprouting of dal and frothy foods. Works identically across all cooktop types for consistent results.
Backed by a 5-year Hawkins guarantee, this cooker is a long-term kitchen investment that remains useful regardless of future changes to your cooking setup. 100% leak-tested before dispatch with a long-lasting gasket design.
