HAWKINSClassic Pressure Cookers (5 Litre)

The pressure cooker is a great addition to my kitchen, but it’s a bit different from the others I’ve used. When it starts cooking, it takes a while for the steam to escape, and that made me a bit nervous at first. But it’s normal for this kind of pan. I recommend to read with attention before use, the overall performance works as they promised.

Good

I bought the Hawkins Classic Pressure Cooker (5 Litre) expecting a reliable kitchen essential, but it’s been nothing short of a disappointment—both in quality and after-sales support.⚠️ Shine Completely Gone After First WashRight out of the box, it looked fine—polished finish, compact design—but after just one dishwasher cycle, the outer coating lost all its shine. It now looks dull, patchy, and worn. Nowhere on the packaging or listing did it warn that it’s not dishwasher safe. For a “classic,” this is honestly poor design.⚠️ Build Feels FlimsyThe overall feel is lighter and flimsier than expected for a pressure cooker. The lid doesn’t sit as securely as it should, and after a few uses, the base seems slightly warped—especially when exposed to medium-high heat.❌ Seller Support = Zero HelpWhen I raised these issues with the seller, they refused responsibility and told me to contact the manufacturer directly. That’s not how this works—I paid the seller, not the manufacturer. This lack of accountability is incredibly frustrating and unacceptable.❌ Final VerdictPoor materials, poor finish, and worse customer support. I would strongly advise others to avoid this model unless you want to spend time chasing down support and watching your cooker deteriorate after the first wash.

its good for the price, does the job

This product is so vital in the kitchen if you cook kidney beans or meat. It's so so efficient. I recommend it.
