Description
From the manufacturer
Food-Grade Superior Stainless Steel
The Hawkins stainless steel pressure cooker body and lid are made from food-grade, 18/8, non-magnetic, superior stainless steel (AISI Grade 304). The ’18/8′ symbolises that this stainless steel grade contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, for greater anti-corrosion resistance, and to better withstand the various acids found in many foods such as fruits, meats, milk, and vegetables. It is hence one of the best quality stainless steel grades used for making cooking utensils. Type 304 stainless steel has great strength, which means that, properly used, your Hawkins stainless steel pressure cooker will give you many years of faithful service.
Food-Grade Superior Stainless Steel Lid
The 18/8 superior stainless steel lid ensures the highest levels of hygiene and durability.
5.8 mm Extra-thick, Heat-Diffusing Sandwich Bottom
The pressure cooker body and lid are made of food-grade, superior stainless steel for maximum hygiene and durability. On the outside bottom of the pressure cooker, sandwiched between two sheets of stainless steel, is a core of 4.1 mm thick aluminium, which spreads heat quickly and evenly. This means no hotspots – food will not burn or stick. The external base is made of AISI Grade 430 magnetic stainless steel, which means that your Hawkins stainless steel pressure cooker will work on both gas & induction cooktops. The extra-thick base stays flat and never bulges. It can be used safely for light and deep frying before pressure cooking.
The Hawkins Pressure-Locked Safety Lid
The unique Hawkins pressure-locked safety lid ensures that 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.
Perfect Sealing through Better Design – ‘Play’
The lid handle bar is so attached to the lid that there is extra space for deliberate ‘play’ or movement. This ensures perfect sealing of the lid with the rim of the cooker body. This is an advanced design feature – do not try to tighten the bar and remove this ‘play’!
Fixed Sturdy Pivot
The fixed sturdy pivot assists the self-centralising lid in locking securely and safely in place, ensuring a steam-tight seal. It is also designed so that no undue pressure is put on the plastic handles, as it is part of the metal handle itself. Thus the handles last longer.
Superior Pressure Regulation
The improved pressure regulation system regulates pressure better, cooks faster, saves more fuel, is easier to insert and remove and reduces sprouting of frothy foods (such as dal).
Automatic Safety Valve
The automatic safety valve is positioned such that, if it operates, the steam and food are deflected safely downwards.
Longer Lasting Gasket
As the lid fits from inside, the gasket does not get rubbed sideways, or cut or scraped every time the pressure cooker is opened or closed. Further, exposure of the gasket to food acids in the pressure cooker is minimised due to the protection given to it by the rim of the lid.
Sturdy, Stay-Cool Handles
Your pressure cooker comes with stay-cool handles which are easy and comfortable to hold while cooking. The handles are designed to provide optimal comfort and protection from excessive heat when the cooker is in use. The metal screw and rivets used to fasten the handles are safely recessed to limit the chances of your hand coming into contact with hot metal during cooking.
Unique Curved Body
The cooker body is given the right curvature, which has three benefits: food is easy to stir during the cooking that is done prior to pressure cooking; this helps prevent the food from sticking or burning which can otherwise be a problem in stainless steel, and clean-up is so easy!
Works on Gas + Induction Cooktops
The AISI Grade 430 magnetic external base of the pressure cooker means that it can be used on induction cooktops. In addition, it is recommended for use on gas, electric, ceramic and halogen cooktops as well. The 5.8 mm extra-thick base always stays flat and maintains proper contact even after heavy-duty use.
The Hawkins Cookbook Advantage
A cookbook or instruction manual is supplied free of cost with each pressure cooker. It valuable and practical information on the proper use and care of your pressure cooker, and a variety of tested recipes as well. Feel free to experiment and develop your own recipes once you are comfortable using your pressure cooker!
The Hawkins Test Kitchen
The test kitchen writes instructions for the user, develops recipes and solves customer problems. The test kitchen tests products from the consumer’s point of view. If a prototype has some issues at the testing stage, the test kitchen sends it back to the R&D Centre for improving the design.
Certified by UL
UL Certificate No. SA5984. Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) is an independent Worldwide safety analysis, testing and certification Organisation. Headquartered in Chicago, UL was founded in 1894.

Quality, Quality AND QUALITY
I’ve no points for dislikes, as I’m veteran user of Hawkin’s cooker. Previously we had aluminium cookers, and suddenly one good day wifey asked to get the stainless steel one. So we had our eyes set upon two distinct beands namely Hawkins & Vinod. Finally, went with our trusted old brand Hawkins. It’s pricier than almost all other ones, but the quality is impeccable. Cleaning is more easy compared to aluminium ones. Will buy 2 to 3 more & keep stocked, as the prices soar each year by 10% almost. The base is thickest than all and it oozes premiumness. No stickiness & feels extra durable. Size 3 ltrs is enough for our small family of five. Easy to use just like any other conventional cooker.

Much better than Aluminium Cookers
Steel Cooker are better looking, easier to clean and healthier than Aluminium Cookers.We know that the Aluminium from Aluminium Utensils slowly leeches into the food that is made in it. That’s why I bought this cooker. Steel Cooker are more durable and last longer.

Problem in whistle
Whistle is having problem.
David Rosales –
Hasta el momento ha funcionado bien, los dos primeros guisos que he hecho han salido bien, solo creo que el ruido que hace para avisar que debes bajar la temperatura asusta un poco, a mi mama le asusta tanto que debo estar yo con ella para que se sienta segura de usarla.
Bhavna Bhardwaj –

Just received the HSS3T Hawkins 3 Liter Tall Pressure Cooker today. Already tried it out on two test runs and it worked flawlessly. I am writing this review to dilute some of the negative reviews I have read.The 3 liter ‘tall’ is a good choice if this is your first pressure cooker. It is a great size for small and large meals for 2 people. We started with the 2 liter size but honestly the 3 liter ‘tall’ is more versatile.As for the negative reviews. I realize that there can be manufacturing defects in any product and a flawed unit is not what a customer paid for. Buy from Amazon direct or any vendor that will accept returns free of charge in case this happens.Hawkins Pressure Cookers are a unique and well designed piece of equipment. The design of the lid is absolute genius and very safe to use!”The pot’s edge makes the cooker hard to clean.” It is not hard to clean.”The safety valve ‘blows out’ making a mess.” Well that is what it is supposed to do when you run out of liquid and/or the interior temperature rises well above the designed 250 F degrees (122 C). Operator error.Order an extra seal and safety valve to have on hand. The same safety valve fits all Hawkins Pressure Cookers and are easily replaced. The seals are dedicated to the size of the lid.”The lid does not seal and leaks.” You have to be accurate in centering the lid when closing up the cooker. Practice makes perfect.”Cannot build pressure – steam leaks at the vent weight.” Remove and rinse the vent weight and check that the vent tube is clear every time the cooker is washed. Check the inside of the vent weight for food particles. There is no way the vent weight and vent tube cannot maintain the 15 psi (103 kPa) pressure as designed.”The cooker ‘whistles’ too much or is too sensitive to vibrations.” Turn down the heat after the initial blast. A soft ‘hiss’ is all that is needed to maintain pressure.”Count the number of whistles to time the cooking.” You cannot count the number of whistles to time the cooking. Use a timer.”Hard to remove the lid without the lid touching the food.” There is too much in the cooker. The pressure cooker should only be 2/3’s full max. Read the instructions.”Rust.” 18/8 stainless steel is perfectly acceptable for food safe cookware. After washing the cooker, we towel off the pot and lid, put the lid in the pot loose and store it in the cabinet. We have never seen any rust on our cookers.”Food burns.” Well it is stainless steel, we use alot of cast iron around here. I’ll give that complaint 3 stars. The complaint is justified as the bottom disc is a little small relative to the cooker diameter.”Inside of pot turns black.” Again, this is a ‘patina’ on the metal. It is not a chemical reaction in the metal. Easily removed with a ‘non-abrasive’ cleanser every now and then.”Loose handle.” The handle is loose on purpose to assist in centering the lid. It is part of the design.Well that is about it. Unless you received a unit with obvious manufacturing defects or there has been some damage in shipping, you probably have one of the best made pressure cookers on the market. Enjoy!

Good functional cooker
Jahgrill –
I have used at least 5 different brands of pressure cooker from Swiss to German and have to say that this version from India is the absolut top of the pile for simplicity, price & functionality. Holypressure! Every other pressure cooker relies on complicated parts which are very expensive⦠if you can find replacement parts. Also, the European ones are less compact & tend to be harder to clean.
