Precise heat control separates a good pressure cooker from a great one, and the Hawkins Triply Steel Pressure Cooker 3.5L is built around that precision. Its 3mm extra-thick triply base spreads heat uniformly across the entire cooking surface, which means spices bloom evenly instead of scorching in one spot, and rice or dal cooks through without the usual risk of sticking at the bottom.
The cooker's construction layers 18/8 food-grade stainless steel on the inside with a heavy-gauge heat-diffusing metal core in the middle and an AISI 430 magnetic steel exterior, making it fully compatible with induction as well as traditional gas cooktops. This triply approach isn't just about durability — it genuinely changes how food cooks, requiring less oil to prevent sticking while still delivering consistent results across every use.
At 3.5 litres, this cooker comfortably serves a family of four to five, and its wider mouth design makes a real difference during daily cooking, offering better visibility into the pot and easier stirring than narrower cookers. Buyers consistently praise how evenly it heats and how simple it is to keep clean, with the only minor note from a small number of users being that the lid occasionally takes a bit of extra effort to close securely.
This construction uniformly heats the base and sides, preventing food and spices from burning or sticking, and allows for healthier cooking with less oil.
The inner surface is built from superior food-grade steel that resists corrosion and preserves the natural flavour of food over years of use.
A broader opening improves visibility into the pot and makes stirring significantly easier, which matters during everyday cooking of dals, curries, and rice.
A dense metal core spreads heat evenly through the base and up the sides, ensuring consistent cooking performance across the whole vessel.
The inner-fitting lid only opens once pressure has fully released, a core Hawkins safety feature that reduces the risk of accidental openings.
The AISI 430 magnetic steel exterior makes this cooker fully induction-ready while remaining just as effective on traditional gas cooktops.
