Features and Benefits

Unique Curved Body

The cooker body is given the right curvature, which has three benefits: food is easy to stir during the cooking that is done prior to pressure cooking; this helps prevent the food from sticking or burning and clean-up is so easy! . For difficult dishes which require a lot of stirring, the Contura with its rounded sides is an ideal pressure cooker.

Hard Anodised – Inside and Out

The Contura Black pressure cooker body is hard anodised all over, inside and outside, which, coupled with the stainless steel lid, ensures high standards of hygiene and durability. These metals are known to be less reactive with the juices and acids in various foods.

Strong Hard Anodised Body

The beautiful, durable black finish given by 60 microns thick hard anodising has three benefits. It makes the pressure cooker absorb heat faster making it more energy-efficient. Your pressure cooker stays looking new for years. And the hard anodising surface reacts less with the acids and juices in the food.

Food-Grade Superior Stainless Steel lid

The food-grade stainless steel lid along with the hard anodised body all over – inside and outside – ensures the highest levels of hygiene and durability!

The Hawkins Pressure-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.

Perfect Sealing through better design – “Play”

The lid handle bar is so attached to the lid that there is extra space for deliberate “play” or movement. This ensures perfect sealing of the lid with the rim of the cooker body. This is an advanced design feature – do not try to tighten the bar and remove this “play”!

Fixed Sturdy Pivot

The fixed sturdy pivot assists 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.

Hawkins G05 Mini Idli Stand for Pressure Cooker

The Hawkins Idli Stands have been designed for the Hawkins 3 litre pressure cookers but can be used with any other pressure cooker into which it fits properly.

Do not use the vent weight at all while cooking idlis. For best results, the steam should flow freely from the vent tube – there should be no build up of pressure at all.

Always follow the instructions given by the manufacturer of the pressure cooker for your own safety whenever you use it as a pressure cooker.

Care and Cleaning of the Idli Stand

1. Before using the Hawkins Idli Stand for the first time, wash with hot water and soap. Rinse in clear water and dry.

2. After use, wash the Hawkins Idli Stand with hot water and soap using a plastic scrubber or dishcloth. Wipe dry.

3. We recommend storing the Hawkins Idli Stand with the idli plates reassembled and knob tightened gently.
