The hard‑anodized body heats evenly, cooks quickly, and still looks great after years of regular use. I’ve used it on an induction stove the entire time, and it performs flawlessly. In all these years, I’ve had zero issues with the cooker itself. The only maintenance I’ve needed was replacing the washer once about two years ago, which is completely normal for any pressure cooker. The inner‑lid design gives a secure seal, and the cooker feels sturdy and well‑balanced every time I use it. It’s easy to clean, doesn’t stain, and continues to deliver consistent results whether I’m cooking dal, rice, or quick curries. For anyone looking for a long‑lasting, reliable pressure cooker, this one is absolutely worth it. The size is good to cook for 2-3 people. ## Features - Ideal for 3 or 4 Persons - Hard Anodised body and Stainless Steel lid - Black body heats faster - Does not react with food - Inside-fitting safety lid will not open until pressure falls" ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00SX03I80 | | Best Sellers Rank | #11,142 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #8 in Pressure Cookers | | Brand Name | HAWKINS | | Capacity | 3 Liters | | Closure Type | Inner Lid | | Color | Black | | Control Method | Touch | | Controller Type | Hand Control | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (38,245) | | Finish Type | Brushed | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00798527516639, 08901165028842 | | Included Components | valve | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | No | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 7.76"D x 13.46"W x 7.32"H | | Item Type Name | Pressure Cooker | | Item Weight | 4.2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Hawkins | | Material | Aluminum | | Model Number | CB30 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Part Number | 8901165028842 | | Special Features | Electric Stovetop Compatible, Gas Stovetop Compatible | | UPC | 735343876998 798527516639 | | Voltage | 220 Volts | | Wattage | 1000.00 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** HAWKINS - **Capacity:** 3 Liters - **Color:** Black - **Control Method:** Touch - **Finish Type:** Brushed - **Item Weight:** 4.2 Pounds - **Material:** Aluminum - **Product Dimensions:** 7.76"D x 13.46"W x 7.32"H - **Special Feature:** Electric Stovetop Compatible, Gas Stovetop Compatible - **Wattage:** 1000.00 ## Images ![Hawkins 3 Litre Contura Black Pressure Cooker, Hard Anodised Inner Lid Cooker, Handi Cooker, Black (CB30) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61xsscK90-L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this Pressure cooker come with separators inside?** A: No separators, only a trivet,or riser. **Q: Will you ship in pakistan?** A: No. **Q: For meat how long it takes? Also is it loud when it take pressure?** A: 15-20 for a beef stew with cubed chuck (after the initial build up of pressure) Loudness is equivalent to old steam vent from radiator room heater blowing off steam or when your car overheats and steam escapes from radiator. HOWEVER, it's not constant it's only to gauge if there is enough steam pressure build up in the pot by waiting for the pot to literally blow off steam then you turn down the heat so it won't continuously do that. Also stove top pressure cooker is most suited for gas range not electric. Though you can use it on an electric but you may need to switch burners when it lets off steam to an unused cooler one to adjust temp faster. **Q: Has anyone used separators with the 5L cooker? Do you know which ones fit? Do the sellers recommend/include a particular separator for a higher price?** A: I have used the separator with a 3L cooker and fits perfectly.
