Each pressure cooker made by Hawkins features an inside fitting lid. This design is inherently safer than conventional pressure cookers. To open any Hawkins cooker, you have to first lower the lid slightly into the body of the cooker; and that cannot be done until the steam pressure inside the cooker falls to a safe level. Thus Hawkins pressure cookers are pressure-locked for safety - like a jetliner door!

This is our family's second Futura, the first one was a 3L non-induction model purchased a few decades ago. Since we are used to cooking in Futuras, this was instantly familiar, but lighter and with a wider mouth to allow ease of the initial saute. A decent upgrade over the older one, which has been half-destroyed by our cook, who often forgets to add water.Just like the older one, this does not 'whistle'. The whole point of a pressure cooker is to allow fast cooking at lower fuel usage, by way of maintaining a constant pressure inside the vessel. The common practice of counting 'whistles' is erroneous and redundant. Pressure cooking is about pressure and time, so once it reaches full pressure you need to back down the burner to simmer and let it sit for the length of time the ingredients needs to cook (usually a function of weight, with some exceptions, notably pulses and grains). By constantly releasing pressure, you use more fuel, need more fluid and waste more fuel. Pressure cooker steam release is not an indicator of any sort. This is regardless of what kind of pressure cooker you are using.The steel surface makes for easy cleaning, and the induction base makes it quite versatile. Since it's brand new, the fit is tight and it reaches full pressure very quickly. As the seals get softer it will improve a bit. My first run with a mutton curry went swimmingly, and I know this will last a few decades like its predecessor.

I am not too fond of pressure cookers because I find it cooks too fast and generally doesn't allow the food to absorb and develop flavours.But I brought this under pressure from the family and have to admit it is one of the best made utensils I own apart from my old cast iron dutch oven. Firstly, its thick stainless steel walls absorbs heat very quick and sustains it for longer with no excessive hot spots which tends to cook unevenly and ruins tricky recipesThe cooker weight design is a little unusual and may need practice for some. I hardly ever cook using pressure but this utensil is so good that I am learning that if put on pressure at the right time depending on what is being cooked, it cooks very well without the loss of flavour that happens in most other aluminium or thin-walled utensils. Truly worth the extra price just for the quality, design and the joy of learning to use a great new tool.

I am very careful about the products i buy and own, I buy expensive items expecting them to last a long time and i maintain them the same way, When i initially bought this 5 liter cooker the one that i received had a faulty bottom plate which was pealing off from the soldering i received a replacement all this in June of 2020 its August 8 2020 now the cooker has started to fall apart i cook 3 small cups of rice daily in the afternoon apart from that its not used for anything, I handle it with at most care This item is less than 3 months old and i personally hand wash it with sponge once the cooking is over i use Vim to clean it making sure no food particles are left behind so i dont understand what is causing an expensive cookware to fall apart like this, Is there no quality control at hawkins? With current covid situation where will i run around for help very disappointed.......

My husband ordered it... it is good but not value for money. I would suggest to buy super cooker instead.

Just a fantasy pressure

The most pathetic product ever. Doesn’t cook. Makes kitchen messy. Finally we replaced it today with another pressure cooker because it was occupying space unnecessarily in the kitchen.

Awesome is the word for this cooker, Fast and nice cooking. Thick bottom. Using this for one year and its working perfectly.Only one issue with this cooker is its weight, its quite heavy for old age people to use.

Awesome cooker

Disadvantages
The lid worked for a month but now does not seal properly and allows steam to escape. Tried multiple times. Now have to see how get the spare part F-10 10. Also be careful of the plastic handle which blisters in a gas with a big flame.

Not forming pressure
