Futura Stainless Steel 4L Pressure Cooker Induction Compatible

Using it for a month and 4 to 5 times a week. Its a very good product. Sauteing before pressure cooking is much better than other stainless steel utensils I have. Also I own 3 other hawkin pressure cookers 2 of which are hard anodized futura and one is normal Hawkins pressure cooker in different sizes for almost 10 years but now I don't use any other one. Hawkins is the best pressure cooker brand!

The media could not be loaded. It is heavy, but not much heavier than the similarly sized aluminum version. (2.6 kg vs 2.3 kg for the aluminum version).Watch where you are pointing it when you are releasing pressure, the steam goes quite a distance horizontally.Cleaning:While more dishwasher-safe than the aluminum version, the manual still doesn’t recommend doing so because of the plastic handles. With other pressure cookers, I always worry I will slip while cleaning and the weight will fall into the sink’s disposal. The extra handle on the weight makes it more difficult for that to happen. Remember to clean the underside of the rim - out of sight, out of mind.If you plan on using the included recipe booklet or recipes from Hawkin’s excellent website, they are sized for the 5 Liter cooker. Easier to just get the larger model than multiply everything by 4/5 or stuff it all into the cooker.

I considered Kuhn Rikon and Fissler but in the end purchased this pressure cooker, a trusted Indian brand. It comes with a clear & detailed instruction manual. After a couple of tries, I was able to open and close the lid easily. It is nice and large, roomy enough to put separators in. The construction is rugged, and its a gleaming high quality stainless steel beauty. I can't say enough good things about this product - highly recommend.

I have a Futura pressure cooke from 1992. I had to change the gasket once. Great buy.Fast forward 30 years ....The new Futura cooker has the lid gasket that needs to be adjusted every time and the short handle broke. It is held in place by a single screw and the / wear broke the plastic.Greatly reduced quality. Will not recommend

Fantastic pressure cooker. Safe lid design, works on many types of heat and is my favorite vessel for cooking. Company was very good to work with. Highly recommend this pressure cooker.

always had a hawkins. got an additional one for small meals. works well. very satisfied. took me a while to get used to the fact that it doesn't whistle like the normal hawkins. but got used to it now. food cooks well with this without a fuss.

not made here. hard to get inserts that fit. otherwise it is the best one out there. Tom

This was a bad buy for us. We had a previous non stainless steel one and it lasted 4 years. While this one seems to be a defective one with steam letting out through the sides resulting in water coming out as well, making the cooker unusably bad. I am past the return date and i hope i can get an exchange. I will change my review if that happens!I hope i can get the SELLER's attention and a refund/replacement on this item.I even attempted to get a second one under the assumption that my first one was defective, but the SECOND one had the exact same problem - and this time, I made sure I returned it!Still waiting for a return/refund on my first purchase
