Hawkins Aluminium 5 Litre Hevibase Pressure Cooker, Induction Inner Lid Cooker, Silver (Ih50)

This pressure cooker is truly remarkable! I prepared a traditional Persian dish in it, and after two hours, the outcome was exceptional – noticeably different from using a conventional pan. It cooks significantly faster, however, please remember to adjust the water and cooking time accordingly. It is also remarkably easy to use, and it includes a five-year warranty – what more could one desire? Furthermore, it is crucial to ensure all steam has been released before opening the cooker. The reviews mentioning food everywhere are likely due to this oversight. Pressure cookers must not be opened until the steam has been completely vented by carefully lifting the pressure regulator slightly.

Nice one

Does a great job, but gets stained easily.

It’s amazing

We recently upgraded to the Hawkins Hevibase 3.5L Pressure Cooker, and it's been a game-changer for our kitchen. As a couple, this size is just right — not too big, not too small. We can comfortably cook enough for two, with a bit left over for leftovers. Cleaning is straightforward, and the build quality feels solid. We've used it for everything from rice and lentils to curries, and it performs consistently well. Overall, the Hawkins Hevibase 3.5L Pressure Cooker has been a reliable addition to our kitchen, making meal prep quicker and more convenient.

Problems working with induction cooktop. Initially first time I cooked with it, no problems with induction however the next day it stopped making the magnetic connection with my induction cooktop and it randomly works or doesn't work. Keeps making this ticking sound as if it connects for a split second and disconnect. A big nuisance. My guess is the ferrous iron plate is too thin or it separated or something. Too easily damaged. And the centre part where the logo is, is not magnetic. Do not recommend for induction reliability. Also beware it's made of aluminium which is not hardy like steel and will corrode or pit with the wrong use, too hard to take care of for years. Can also leach aluminium in food if you don't follow it's care instructions

very good quality and long lasting. i have been using it from two years. still same . good quality

Heavy aluminium pot. This product is made in India, despite the US sounding brand name. With such a high level of vegetarianism in India, they know a thing or two about pressure cooking! The instruction/recipe booklet is very clear and is at pains to repeat key usage issues etc. However, my steam vent weight was very stiff to insert, and given that it's recommended to do this when steam is venting, I fear scalding is very possible! When "whistling" occurs (ie. pressure causes steam to vent) this is more forceful than any of the other 3 pressure cookers I've used over half a century. I found it quite alarming. One thing it seems confuses people is the "grid" which comes with it. Buried in the instructions are a couple of sentences explaining that it's to be used as a trivet -a spacer to raise some foods above the water level, so that they are steamed, rather than boiled. It also says that it can be used to keep a hot pot raised above a worktop that might otherwise get damaged. IT IS NOT TO BE PUT BETWEEN THE BURNER AND THE BOTTOM OF THE POT! I bought this because I'm going over to induction hob usage. The steel plate on the bottom looks a bit flimsy. Only time will tell if it will prove up to the job.

The HAWKINS H56 Hevibase 5-Liter Pressure Cooker is an absolute game-changer in my kitchen! It's the perfect size for preparing meals for my family, and its induction-compatible base ensures fast and even cooking, whether I'm using it on my induction stovetop or a regular gas stove. The aluminum construction is sturdy yet lightweight, making it easy to handle, and the Hevibase feature helps to prevent burning or sticking at the bottom. I’ve cooked a variety of dishes in it—soups, stews, and rice—and everything has turned out perfectly cooked in a fraction of the time. The 5-liter capacity is just right for medium-sized batches, making it versatile for everyday use. The pressure cooker is also easy to clean, and the safety features, such as the pressure regulator and durable gasket, give me peace of mind while cooking. If you're looking for a reliable, efficient, and durable pressure cooker, the HAWKINS H56 is an excellent choice. Highly recommend it for anyone who wants to save time and cook delicious meals!
