Hawkins Cerenity 3-Litre Ceramic Coated Pressure Cooker – Sea Salt Aqua, Toxin-Free Nonstick Interior, Stainless Steel Lid & Induction Compatible
Cooking healthy food should not mean sacrificing convenience — and the Hawkins Cerenity ICU30 proves exactly that. This 3-litre ceramic-coated pressure cooker in the distinctive Sea Salt Aqua finish brings a fresh, modern look to your kitchen while delivering a cooking surface that is genuinely free from the toxins commonly associated with traditional nonstick coatings. The advanced ceramic coating contains no PFAS, PTFE, PFOA, or heavy metals — making it one of the safest nonstick pressure cooking surfaces available for everyday Indian cooking, including food for children and health-conscious households.
The ceramic nonstick interior has excellent release properties — food slides off cleanly with minimal oil, making it ideal for low-oil and healthy cooking routines. Unlike conventional nonstick coatings that can degrade or peel under high heat, the ceramic coating is not spoiled by high temperatures — you get all the benefits of a nonstick surface without worrying about compromising it during pressure cooking. The smooth ceramic surface is also resistant to stains from Indian spices — turmeric, chilli, and masalas that typically discolour nonstick cookware — so the cooker stays looking as good as new after years of daily use.
The construction is built for long-term reliability. The durable metal body with ceramic coating is paired with a stainless steel lid and an AISI 430 magnetic stainless steel base that makes the cooker fully compatible with both gas and induction cooktops. Hawkins' trusted inner lid closure system ensures the lid locks securely inside the body and cannot be opened while the cooker is under pressure. Ideal for 3 to 4 persons, the Cerenity ICU30 is made in India and backed by Hawkins' 5-year guarantee against defects in material and workmanship.

Key Features
Advanced Ceramic Nonstick Coating – No PFAS, PTFE, PFOA or Heavy Metals
The cooking surface uses a ceramic-based nonstick coating that is completely free from PFAS, PTFE (Teflon), PFOA, and heavy metals. These are the chemical compounds that have raised health concerns with traditional nonstick cookware. The Cerenity's ceramic coating delivers genuine nonstick performance without any of these toxins — giving you complete peace of mind with every meal.
Excellent Nonstick Release Properties – Low Oil Cooking
The smooth ceramic nonstick surface has excellent release properties, meaning food — including sticky dal, rice, and khichdi — does not cling to the surface. This allows you to cook with significantly less oil or ghee than you would need in a stainless steel or aluminium cooker, supporting healthier daily cooking habits.
High-Heat Resistant Ceramic Coating
Unlike conventional nonstick coatings that can degrade, blister, or peel when exposed to pressure cooking temperatures, the ceramic coating on the Cerenity is not damaged by high heat. You can use it for full-pressure cooking without worrying about the nonstick surface breaking down over time.
Spice-Stain Resistant Surface
The ceramic interior is resistant to staining from Indian spices — including turmeric, red chilli, and masalas — which are notorious for permanently discolouring standard nonstick and stainless steel surfaces. The Cerenity retains its clean appearance significantly longer than conventional pressure cookers.
Stainless Steel Lid
The lid is made from stainless steel — durable, hygienic, and easy to clean. The stainless steel lid complements the ceramic-coated body and adds to the overall durability of the cooker, resisting the corrosion and warping that can affect aluminium lids over time.
AISI 430 Magnetic Base – Gas & Induction Compatible
The base is fitted with an AISI 430 magnetic stainless steel plate that makes the cooker fully compatible with induction cooktops. It works equally well on all gas, electric, halogen, and ceramic cooktops — one cooker for any kitchen setup, present or future.
Inner Lid Closure System
The inner lid locks inside the cooker body using Hawkins' trusted safety mechanism. The lid seats securely before pressure builds and cannot be accidentally opened while the cooker is under pressure. This is a fundamental safety feature that has defined Hawkins pressure cookers for decades.
Sea Salt Aqua Colour – Fade-Resistant Finish
The Sea Salt Aqua ceramic-coated exterior brings a calm, modern colour to your kitchen. The vibrant finish is designed to resist fading even after years of regular use — the cooker looks as fresh as the day it was bought, long after regular cookers have lost their original appearance.
Ideal for 3–4 Persons
The 3-litre capacity is perfectly sized for a small to medium family of 3 to 4 persons for everyday meals — dal, rice, sabzi, khichdi, or meat preparations. Compact enough to heat up quickly, yet large enough for full daily portions.
5-Year Guarantee
The Hawkins Cerenity ICU30 is guaranteed against defects in material and workmanship for 5 years from the date of first purchase, as stated by Hawkins Cookers Limited.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What makes the Cerenity different from other Hawkins pressure cookers?
The Cerenity is Hawkins' ceramic nonstick pressure cooker range. Unlike the regular stainless steel or aluminium Hawkins cookers, the Cerenity has a ceramic-coated nonstick interior that requires less oil, releases food effortlessly, and is free from PFAS, PTFE, PFOA, and heavy metals. The stainless steel lid and ceramic-coated body also give it a distinct, modern look compared to standard pressure cookers.
2. Is the ceramic coating safe for daily cooking?
Yes. The ceramic coating on the Cerenity contains no PFAS, PTFE (Teflon), PFOA, or heavy metals — the compounds associated with health concerns in traditional nonstick cookware. The ceramic-based coating is a toxin-free nonstick surface that is safe for daily cooking, including food for children.
3. Will the ceramic nonstick coating get damaged during pressure cooking?
No. The ceramic coating is specifically designed to withstand high cooking temperatures without degrading, blistering, or peeling. You can use it for regular pressure cooking without concern about the nonstick surface breaking down under heat.
4. Is this cooker compatible with induction cooktops?
Yes. The base is fitted with an AISI 430 magnetic stainless steel plate, making it fully compatible with induction cooktops. It also works on all gas, electric, halogen, and ceramic cooktops without any adapter.
5. Does the colour fade over time?
No. The Sea Salt Aqua ceramic coating on the exterior is designed to be fade-resistant with regular use. The vibrant colour is built to remain consistent over years, unlike paint-coated aluminium cookers whose colour can chip or fade.
6. What is the warranty on this product?
The Hawkins Cerenity ICU30 is backed by a 5-year guarantee against defects in material and workmanship from the date of first purchase, provided by Hawkins Cookers Limited.
7. Can I use metal spoons or spatulas inside this cooker?
It is recommended to use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils with any ceramic nonstick surface, including the Cerenity. While the ceramic coating is harder and more scratch-resistant than conventional nonstick coatings, avoiding metal utensils inside the cooker will help preserve the nonstick surface for longer.
8. How do I clean the Cerenity pressure cooker?
The ceramic nonstick interior is easy to clean — food residue releases easily, so a soft sponge with mild soap and warm water is all that is needed after cooking. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or steel wool on the nonstick surface. The stainless steel lid can be washed normally. Always remove and clean the gasket and vent weight separately after each use.
9. What does the box contain?
The Hawkins Cerenity ICU30 comes with: 1 pressure cooker body, 1 stainless steel lid, 1 rubber gasket, 1 vent weight, 1 guarantee card, and 1 Hawkins cookbook.
10. Is the Cerenity available in other colours?
Yes. The Hawkins Cerenity range is available in multiple colour options. The Sea Salt Aqua (ICU30) is one variant. Other colours in the Cerenity range include Olive Green (ICG30), among others. All colour variants share the same specifications, construction, and features — only the exterior finish differs.
