Anodized aluminum is sealed so that the metal cannot leach into food or react with acidic foods. Unlike ordinary, lightweight aluminum pots and pans, which are highly reactive with acidic foods (like tomatoes), anodized aluminum cookware is safe.

Hawkins Pressure Cooker have been used in our family since generations. This is a trusted brand and the quality of the product has stayed same all over the years. The 5 ltr cooker is big for easily cooking food for about 8 people. This is a fast cooker and efficient one at that.
Pressure cookers are typically made of aluminum (aluminium) or stainless steel. Aluminum pressure cookers may be stamped, polished, or anodized, but all are unsuitable for the dishwasher.
Clean the area between the lid and the lid handle bar with a brush as required. (A special cleaning brush is supplied along with the Futura pressure cooker. The main brush is designed to clean between the handle and the lid. The shorter brush can be used to clean around the steam vent and the pressure regulator).
THE HAWKINS COOKER WHISTLES AT FULL OPERATING PRESSUREThe cooker is now at full operating pressure. This is the point at which to reduce heat and start timing the recipe.
This new Futura Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker is induction compatible with a magnetic base of AISI 430 grade stainless steel. It can safely be used on all domestic gas, electric, halogen, ceramic and induction cooktops. The base stays flat, heats evenly and is ideal for light frying before pressure cooking.
Additionally, this cookware set is completely induction compatible ensuring that you can conveniently use it even on induction stoves.
If your pressure cooker isn't whistling, position the lid and gasket correctly. Clean the pressure valve and lock the lid properly. Tighten loose handles and replace the gasket if worn out. Keep the amount of liquid and food in the cooker to prescribed levels and give it the right amount of heat.
The grid is used for minimising the contact between food and the cooking liquid and/or the base. Use the grid to steam food above the water when you so desire it (rather than immersed in liquid with flavours blending). Use the grid when steaming foods in molds or other containers.
When starting to pressure cook, close the lid WITHOUT the pressure regulator in position on the steam vent. Place the pressure regulator on the steam vent ONLY AFTER steam starts to come out of the steam vent steadily.
Its lid holds water on the top and, on its underneath surface, condenses steam that rises from the food simering in the Handi. The reverse taper of the sloping sides of the Handi permits water droplets to fall directly on to the food inside the Handi - thus making delicious, tender and moist food.
Regular cool water from the tap works just fine.
- Place insert into the Instant Pot.
- Pour 2 cups of water into the insert.
- Close the lid.
- Set the Pressure Release Valve to “sealing.”
- Press Manual.
- Press the “-” button until 5 shows in the display.
- After about five minutes, the float valve should lift into place.

| 1. Squeeze handles together. | 2. Release latch. | 3. Lower lid slightly. Push towards short handle. |
| 4. Move handle to 5 o'clock position. Raise lid edge out. | 5. Keep going to 3 o'clock position. Remove lid out towards you. | |
The gasket seals the pressure cooker and allows it to build pressure within the device. When the gasket leaks, your pressure cooker won't build steam. This component seals in the water vapor to cook the food.
When the pressure valve doesn't fit properly, it prevents the pressure buildup, hence the whistling issue. For fixing this issue, you need to clean the valve first and replace it if it's worn out. We suggest using the manual for checking the correct pressure valve positioning.
Usually pressure cookers whistle because you have the heat turned up too high. The whistle is on a spring loaded pressure vent and when the pressure vent opens to the whistle the whistle starts to scream. It is a warning to turn the heat down a bit. These indicate your normal range of cooking pressure.

Who invented pressure cooker?
Futura. In typography, Futura is a geometric sans-serif typeface designed in 1927 by Paul Renner. It was designed as a contribution on the New Frankfurt-project. It is based on geometric shapes that became representative of visual elements of the Bauhaus design style of 1919–1933.
Each pressure cooker made by Hawkins features an inside-fitting lid. This design is inherently safer than conventional pressure cookers. Thus Hawkins pressure cookers are pressure-locked for safety - like a jetliner door! Hawkins offers 88 different pressure cooker models in thirteen different types.
