Hawkins Idli Stand – For 6.5 Litre Pressure Cooker (ID18L, 18 Idlis, Large)
The Hawkins Idli Stand – 6.5L (ID18L) is an officially designed Hawkins accessory that lets you make perfectly steamed idlis at home quickly and effortlessly — even if you have never made them before. It produces 18 soft, fluffy idlis in approximately 6 minutes using any standard Hawkins 6.5L or larger pressure cooker — or any other brand's cooker of a compatible size. The stand measures 144 mm wide and 185.5 mm tall, fitting securely inside the pressure cooker body. It comes packaged in its own full-colour box with complete instructions for making idli, chutney, and sambar from scratch — a self-contained idli-making kit that removes any guesswork from the process. Made from food-grade aluminium, the stand is safe, hygienic, and easy to clean.
Hawkins Idli Stands use the pressure cooker's steam to cook idlis in a fraction of the time needed on a traditional idli pot, while producing the same authentic, soft, spongy texture that South Indian breakfasts are celebrated for. The stand design ensures even steam distribution across all idli moulds simultaneously, so every idli in the batch cooks to the same consistent texture. As Hawkins' official accessory catalogue notes, the stand is designed for the 6.5L or bigger Hawkins cooker but will work with any other pressure cooker brand or size into which it fits properly — making it a versatile addition to any Indian kitchen. The stand is easy to fill, place inside the cooker, remove, and clean, and becomes a practical part of a regular idli-making routine once the first batch is made.
Key Features
18 Idlis in ~6 Minutes — Quick, Easy Home Idlis
The stand enables home cooks to produce 18 soft, perfectly steamed idlis in approximately 6 minutes using the steam from a standard Hawkins pressure cooker — significantly faster than conventional idli pots and delivering consistent, authentic results every time.
Compatible with 6.5L or Larger Pressure Cookers — Any Brand
Designed specifically for the Hawkins 6.5L and larger pressure cookers, but also compatible with any other brand's pressure cooker of sufficient size into which the stand fits properly — making it a broadly versatile kitchen accessory.
Even Steam Distribution — Consistent Idli Quality Across All Moulds
The stand design ensures steam from the pressure cooker reaches all 18 idli moulds simultaneously and evenly, producing the same soft, spongy texture in every idli in the batch — no dry edges, no uncooked centres.
Food-Grade Aluminium — Easy to Fill, Remove & Clean
Made from food-grade aluminium that is safe, hygienic, and resistant to staining. The stand is designed for straightforward filling, safe removal from the hot cooker, and easy cleaning after each idli batch.
Full Instructions Included — Idli, Chutney & Sambar Recipes
The Hawkins Idli Stand comes in a full-colour box with complete instructions for making idli batter, steaming idlis, and preparing chutney and sambar from scratch — a self-contained guide that makes home idli-making accessible even for first-time cooks.
