Hawkins 3 Litre Contura Black Hard Anodised Pressure Cooker

3 Litre Hard Anodised Pressure Cooker

The Hawkins Contura Black is a 3 litre hard anodised aluminium pressure cooker with a stainless steel lid, designed for households of three to four people. Its curved body aids stirring and food removal, while the black finish absorbs heat quickly on a 220 volt supply. The pressure-locked safety lid cannot open until internal pressure has dropped to a safe level.

Upgrade from basic aluminium cookers

Moving from a plain aluminium pot to this 60 micron hard anodised body gives faster heating and a surface that does not react with food. The fixed sturdy pivot secures the self-centralising lid without stressing the plastic handles. The jump is worth it when you want quicker cooking cycles and a finish that resists staining over years of daily use.

Three litre capacity for small families

At 3 litres the cooker comfortably handles rice, dals and stews for three to four portions, fitting within 13.4 by 7.7 by 7.3 inch dimensions and weighing 4.2 pounds. It runs out of headroom when preparing large batch meals or cooking for more than four people, at which point a larger capacity model becomes necessary.
