Hawkins 2.5 Litre Triply Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker, Inner Lid Cooker, Silver (HSST25)

Awesome triply stainless steel pressure cooker. I am very satisfied with this product

This has to by far be one of the best pressure cookers I’ve ever purchased and believe me I’ve had a number of them over the years. I got the 1.6 L because I live alone and I loved it so much that I just ordered the 2.6 so I could do a slightly larger meal. I will definitely be looking into an even larger one to make multiple meals in. What I love about it is it heats up quick on a very low heat and it cooks really quick as well. The cover is a little tricky, but once you get used to it, it’s not a problem.

Great quality

Perfect size for three people and very good material

Its awesome, it has wide mouth easy to stir food

Sturdy and durable product !

Just for me, making Bob everyday I inconvenient. I made 5 or 6 meals with this.

Purchased a 2.5 ltr. 3 ply stainless steel. I have 2 additional pressure cookers; Fagor 6 qt and an All American pressure cooker canner. I wanted a small one for smaller quantities of beans, pulses and grains. It’s beautiful out of the box. The instructions are adequate. Once you go through a trial run with water and practice opening and closing the lid, it gets easier, but there is more time associated with getting the timing and heat right. While doing a small amount of millet, I learned how to change the safety valve. I was using too much heat. The safety valves are inexpensive; come in a pack of 3 for $4 +. In conclusion it’s a beautiful little pressure cooker far less expensive than some others, just not quite as user friendly as i’m accustomed to.

Excellent product quality. The delivery was timely, and the overall online shopping experience was truly impressive.” I originally ordered the 2.5-liter, but the 3.5-liter size is actually better. It’s ideal for a family of four.”

It cooks fast and evenly. Very satisfied for a month now. Quality is premium. Stainless steel causes the weight to be a lil on the heavier side but not too much. Not cheap but i think it’s worth it. Perfect lid closure. The shape is also comfy.

Estoy realmente sorprendido por la eficiencia de esta pequeña olla. Si se comienza con agua hirviendo, sella en menos de 5 minutos; si se inicia con agua fría, puede tardar alrededor de 15 minutos. La cocción también es rápida: en general, toma entre 5 y 15 minutos menos que una olla grande. Esto considerando como momento cero el instante en que la válvula comienza a liberar presión. Una vez que libera presión por primera vez, se baja la flama al mínimo. De hecho, es una flama tan baja que parecería que podría apagarse con solo pasar rápido cerca de la estufa. Con esa flama mínima, la olla mantiene la temperatura máxima y libera presión de forma intermitente. Al hacerlo es algo escandalosa, pero se siente muy segura. El único punto negativo es el sistema de la tapa, que resulta algo engorroso. Es una tapa ovalada que solo encaja de una manera: hay que colocar el mango de forma perpendicular y ligeramente inclinado hacia el interior de la olla, y luego girarlo hasta alinear ambas partes del mango. Secarla también es un poco latoso, ya que la forma de la olla obliga a usar un paño seco para hacerlo más rápido. Es una olla algo pesada y de paredes gruesas; no absorbe aromas y es fácil de limpiar. Solo hay que agarrarle bien la medida al calentamiento, ya que, como mencioné, requiere menos flama que cualquier otra olla que haya usado anteriormente. Cabe mencionar que las refacciones no son algo común.

I love this pressure cooker! I’ve been using it for several weeks now and it works great. It’s the triple ply design that makes it more expensive than the sandwich base type or aluminium, but it’s worth it. The stainless steel finish looks lovely and I found the 3.5 litre size ideal for 3-5 people. I’ve used it for dhal, rajma, chicken curry and pearl barley. The results were excellent. It holds pressure well and cooks on the lowest gas setting with no issues at all. I saw a few negative reviews and frankly I’m puzzled. Food doesn’t stick. It’s excellent for pre-frying onions or chicken - works better than a high end stainless steel skillet. The lid fits perfectly well too. Just use common sense - use enough oil and liquid. Keep the temperature on low once it gets to full pressure and you won’t go wrong. Practice putting the lid on and off a couple of times and it will be second nature in no time. The simple tech - basic weight to hold pressure is a bonus. We had a complex adjustable Tefal pressure cooker some years ago and it was nothing but trouble. My mother and sister also have Hawkins pressure cookers (different models to mine) and they are all great. If you’re looking for a value for money cooker just go for it.

Awesome product
