Hawkins Classic Pressure Cookers (5 Litre)

Product Information

A pressure cooker's cooking pot is inevitably going to face some wear over repeated uses, so we use a lab-calibrated scratch pen to test how resistant to scratching the cooking pots are.

Personally, I would lean toward a model that could be throw in the dishwasher, because easy-to-clean is always my preference,” Chernoff says. Pressure cooking is also excellent for retaining nutrients, making it a great choice for those who want to eat healthily. As it uses less liquid than other methods (such as boiling), fewer nutrients are drawn out of the food and discarded with the water. The shorter cooking times also help to preserve nutrients in your meals. PRECISION WEIGHT VALVE: This safety feature is specially designed to safely release pressure while cooking and to save time and energy. It is made up of brass with steel coating on it for durability

Expert Reviews

In addition to safety, ease of use is important when you’re considering which stovetop pressure cookers to buy. You’ll need to seal and choose a pressure setting, but once that’s done, you’ll turn the stove burner on and let your pressure cooker do the rest. Pressure cookers with a simpler design just require turning a knob, but other pressure cookers have an easy on/off cover as well. As you choose a pressure cooker, also consider the weight and durability, especially if you have a more sensitive ceramic or glass cooktop. We assess how easily each pressure cooker can be set up and used to cook, taking into account functions such as switches, buttons and digital displays, and how easily lids and cooking pots can be removed.

You may regularly wash the removable parts such as the gasket, pressure regulator, and sealing ring with warm soapy water after each use. Clean the inner pot and the exterior of the pressure cooker with a mild detergent and a soft sponge to remove any food residues. Regularly inspect the gasket and sealing ring for signs of wear and tear, and replace them if necessary to maintain a tight seal and safe operation.
