I am just going to 'let go' of my fears of getting aluminum in my food from the pressure cooker, and I will simply refrain from putting strongly acidic foods in it (tomatoes/citrus, etc) I will also immersion blend in another container, to prevent getting fine shavings of aluminum in the food.The only other issue is getting the lid on (in). It has been a challenge- but since I received my cooker 4 days ago, I've used it 3 times (including the initial straight water with lemon juice/vinegar run, so I can put the lid on/in, it's just tricky.It seems easier if you basically let it fall in/on.I actually like the whistle/hiss. Makes cooking your beans a little more of an adventure. Also, if you do not fill more than 1/2 way the contura doesn't seem to splatter food out with the whistling. And--it whistles to urge you to turn down the flame. I can cook pinto beans on the absolutely lowest gas setting my range is capable of. If you want to 'be green' you can't beat that.So far I have made rice pudding- it was OK, but I think rice pudding would cook better at lower temps, so I will try that stove-top next time. The NM pinto beans with a 1/2 an onion (you don't have to chop the onion up- it falls apart naturally during the 60-or so minute cooking time)and a little vegetable oil turned out tender and tasty. Next I will make a nice dal/soup- just throw everything in, curry powder/onions/jalapenos/peeled knob of ginger/lentils/water/salt/veg oil, stir and cook ~20-30", then at the end throw in a whole rough chopped bunch of cilantro and immersion blend it. You cannot beat a nice soup like that on a cold day in NM. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WOW! *by W***U on Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2015* TOTALY AWSOME COOKER FOR SMALL BATCH USE.

SIMPLY, AN AMAZING COOKER! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best in its category. *by A***M on Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2013* I wanted a pressure cooker for our small family of 3. It is very handy. I cook all my dals,curries and beans in it and it gets done in a jiffy. I wanted to stop buying canned beans that contain a whole lot of sodium. Now I can buy legumes that are free of preservatives and cook them in my cooker. I also make soup and stews in it that take minimum time and are tastier and more wholesome than when I cooked them in a pan. The only drawback is that it is not stain proof, the food coloring like turmeric leaves a stain that does not wash off. Otherwise an excellent and reliable product!!! ## Frequently Bought Together - Hawkins Aluminium Contura Pressure Cooker, 5 Litre, Silver (Hc50), 5 Liter - Hawkins 4 Litre Classic Pressure Cooker, Best Inner Lid Cooker, Silver (CL40) Aluminium - Hawkins Gasket For 3.5 Liter To 8 Litre Except Wide Hawkins Pressure Cookers | 3 Liter To 7 Litre Hawkins Stainless Steel Pressure Cookers |Contura Pressure Cookers (Std Gasket SG) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/29676488-hawkins-contura-5-liters-aluminum-pressure-cooker](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/29676488-hawkins-contura-5-liters-aluminum-pressure-cooker) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-04*
