Hawkin Classic CL40 4-Liter New Improved Aluminum Pressure Cooker, Small, Silver

best quality

Love this. The lid is a little tricky at first but it's very easy once you suss out how to use it. It's actually very well engineered and works perfectly. I wanted it mainly for hard-boiled eggs and it works a treat. I bought the 1.5 litre. The eggs took 10 minutes. 5 minutes to get up to temperature and 5 minutes to cook. The shells are so easy to peel after pressure cooking. So glad I bought this.

After some of the bad reviews I read I was doubtful...but I have missed my pressure cooker as I always had one but wanted a small one and the 2 litre, although it IS small and cute too, seems to fit the bill. On reading the instructions I was a tad worried, especially by the lid situation but really, its easier than it seems at first and I made a lovely meal from it the evening after its arrival, and felt satisfied by my meal, as since xmas 23 ive been struggling with an Air Fryer and was starting to feel despondent of ever being able to cook a satisfying meal again lol. My only dislike is that non of the meals in the recipe book are traditional English grub but it IS an Indian product so understandable...but thankfully I used a pressure cooker for 25 years before to cook for a family of 5 so it wasnt too hard to piece together and there IS a separate list at the back for individual items and the required cut sizes and timings. The 2 litre does not recommend cooking foods that create froth on cooking such as legumes etc as you will need much more space to allow for the froth so as not to block up the hole vent. Its easy to clean and first recommended test use to get comfortable with it is with water and vinegar which leaves a handy 2 cup meaure mark around the level. Two uses have not stained the bottom at all as in some of the comments so Im glad about that but. If it does then it is only the natural wear and teae of usage Im sure, comparing to the old ones I used to have over years gone by. All in all, I love this little gadget and will eventually go bigger, maybe, so I can make the Legume curries in the recipe book so I can share my food with others as this one makes enough for one person and is fine for just me.

I bought the Hawkins Classic Pressure Cooker (5 Litre) expecting a reliable kitchen essential, but it’s been nothing short of a disappointment—both in quality and after-sales support. ⚠️ Shine Completely Gone After First Wash Right out of the box, it looked fine—polished finish, compact design—but after just one dishwasher cycle, the outer coating lost all its shine. It now looks dull, patchy, and worn. Nowhere on the packaging or listing did it warn that it’s not dishwasher safe. For a “classic,” this is honestly poor design. ⚠️ Build Feels Flimsy The overall feel is lighter and flimsier than expected for a pressure cooker. The lid doesn’t sit as securely as it should, and after a few uses, the base seems slightly warped—especially when exposed to medium-high heat. ❌ Seller Support = Zero Help When I raised these issues with the seller, they refused responsibility and told me to contact the manufacturer directly. That’s not how this works—I paid the seller, not the manufacturer. This lack of accountability is incredibly frustrating and unacceptable. ❌ Final Verdict Poor materials, poor finish, and worse customer support. I would strongly advise others to avoid this model unless you want to spend time chasing down support and watching your cooker deteriorate after the first wash.

Nice cute little pressure cooker, same as picture, good in quality, gonna buy bigger sizes next time🤗

Très bon produit, cuit vite et bien

I love this pressure cooker. Good for boiling eggs or potatoes. Also useful for university students who live alone. Easy to clean. Good purchase.

good quality

I got this pressure cooker because the first one I bought was of poor quality and confusing to use. This cooker is fantastic, easy to use, and cooks very fast. I love it and highly recommend it.

Excellent product and highly recommended
