Unique Curved Body
The unique body with rounded sides allows for easier stirring of food, better visibility and easy removal of food. For difficult dishes which require a lot of stirring, the Contura with its rounded sides is an ideal pressure cooker.
Hard Anodised Body
The beautiful, durable black finish given by 60 microns thick hard anodising has two benefits. It makes the pressure cooker absorb heat faster making it more energy-efficient. And your pressure cooker stays looking new for years.
Food-grade Superior Stainless Steel Lid
A stainless steel lid along with the hard anodised body all over – inside and outside – ensures the highest levels of hygiene and durability!
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.
Fixed Sturdy Pivot
The fixed sturdy pivot assist 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 New 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 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 securely fasten the handles are safely recessed to limit the chances of your hand coming into contact with hot metal during cooking.
