Perfect size for a small family
This pressure cooker is a gem. Here are the features.
1. It's very sturdy aluminum. Much lighter than steel and strong enough for the purpose.
2. The lid is slightly oval. It fits down inside the pot and locks in place by twisting the lid handle to align with the pot handle. This takes some getting used to, but it works fine.
3. Unlike most pressure cookers, the gasket is a very simple one that should last just about forever and cost very little to replace. I believe you could make a new one out of leather and it would work since it's just an O ring.
4. The pot comes with a bottom spacer or steamer attachment to keep foods or other containers about 1/2 inch off the bottom of the pot. This allows worry free cooking of meats and other solid items without immersing them in water. Soups and stews etc don't need the steamer.
5. The pressure "weight" is normally locked to the pot lid by a friction lock so it won't fall off...
best pressure cooker
I've purchased probably about 4-5 pressure cookers in my lifetime, and this is perhaps the best one ever! I like how the lid fits inside, very tight and secure. Food cooks quickly... dried beans cook in about 30 minutes. I would recommend this pressure cooker to anyone looking.
Good
Quick easy
As expected
Have used Hawkins for 20 years
Never had a problem
I would recommend it to all
