Assorted Models

Introduction
Each pressure cooker made by Hawkins features an inside-fitting lid. This design is inherently safer than conventional pressure cookers. To open any Hawkins cooker, you have to first lower the lid slightly into the body of the cooker; and that cannot be done until the steam pressure inside the cooker falls to a safe level. Thus Hawkins pressure cookers are pressure-locked for safety - like a jetliner door!

**The Benefits of Pressure Cooking**
What is Pressure Cooking?
Ordinary open-pot cooking is done at the boiling point of water which produces steam at sea level at 100^oC (212^oF). Pressure cooking works by sealing the steam in a pot so that there is a rise in pressure to a safe, controlled extent which raises the boiling point of water and therefore the cooking temperature. The steam permeates through the food, tenderizing it, infusing it with flavour, preserving nutrients, colour, texture and juices and cooking much faster. The Hawkins Pressure Cooker cooks food at 121^oC (250^oF) at a pressure of 15 lb per square inch (psi) which is equivalent to 1 kg per square cm.
The Benefits of Hawkins Pressure Cooking
Hawkins pressure cooking can reduce normal cooking times by as much as half. Economical foods such as legumes (lentils, dried peas and beans) and tough cuts of meat can be cooked to perfection in a fraction of the normal time. Because food cooks faster in a pressure cooker, you save fuel, and therefore money. Scientific literature indicates that certain nutritive elements such as proteins and vitamins are better retained by pressure cooking. Steaming is ideal for low-calorie, low-fat cooking. The higher temperature while pressure cooking gives more hygienic food. Closed cooking in super-heated steam may better evoke the natural flavours of the food - producing delicious results. A wide range of foods, whether parts of recipes or entire meals, can be cooked in your Hawkins.
Advantages of Hawkins
Safe
• Pressure-locked Safety Lid. When there is pressure inside the cooker, the lid is pressure-locked like a modern jetliner door. It cannot be opened until the pressure has fallen to a safe level.
• Automatic Safety Valve is positioned such that, if it operates, the steam and food are deflected safely downwards.
Better Pressure Regulation
• New Improved Pressure Regulator/Vent Weight regulates pressure better, cooks faster, saves more fuel, is easier to insert and remove and reduces dal sprouting. Available in all Hawkins models except Stainless Steel and Bigboy. These features are also present in the Futura Pressure Regulator
Trouble-Free
• Longer Lasting Sealing Ring/Gasket. As the lid fits from inside, the sealing ring does not get rubbed sideways every time the pressure cooker is opened or closed. Also, the sealing ring is not exposed to food acids in the pressure cooker due to the protection given to it by the rim of the lid.
• Rust Proof Components. The Hawkins Pressure Cooker has special metal alloy handle bar and handle brackets to withstand rust.

Hawkin's Classic Series
The Classic is Hawkins’ largest-selling, most popular range of pressure cookers - perhaps because of its attractive combination of features, benefits and price. This range was the first to be introduced by Hawkins and has been kept up to date by numerous innovations and improvements over the years. The latest improvement, introduced in 2005, is a superior pressure regulating system that controls pressure to a narrower, more efficient range, reduces sprouting of frothy foods and is easier to insert and remove.
The safety valve is located under the lid handle bar so that when it operates the steam is safely deflected downwards. The gasket has minimum exposure to steam inside the cooker, does not rub every time the product is opened and closed - so lasts longer.
Suitable for gas, electric, ceramic and halogen cooktops.
Stay-cool handles. Fixed sturdy pivot does not put pressure on the plastic handles as it is a part of the metal handle itself. Thus handles last longer. Recommended for use on gas stoves.
