Hawkins 2 Litre Classic Pressure Cooker, Best Inner Lid Cooker, Small Cooker, Silver (CL20)

Absolutely love this pressure cooker! It’s sturdy, well-built, and cooks food faster and more evenly than my old one. The lid locks securely, and the safety features give me peace of mind while cooking. Perfect for making dals, rice, stews, and even one-pot meals. Easy to clean and looks great in the kitchen too. Definitely a great value for the price , highly recommend!

I’ve been using the Hawkins Aluminium 3 Litre Classic Pressure Cooker (Tall Design) for a few months now, and it works exactly as expected. The tall design is perfect for cooking soups, dals, and small family meals without worrying about spills. The inner lid safety mechanism gives me peace of mind, and it builds pressure quickly.The aluminium body heats evenly, and the build feels sturdy — typical Hawkins quality. I also appreciate how easy it is to clean.If you're looking for a dependable, no-nonsense pressure cooker for everyday cooking, this one is a great choice.

The lid on this pressure cooker is incredibly frustrating to use. It doesn’t align smoothly and often gets stuck, making it a hassle every time I try to open or close it. For something labeled as “classic” and “best cooker,” I expected better quality and ease of use. The cooking performance is okay, but the poor lid design overshadows everything else.

Good gualityFast cook timeA little too noisy lolBut overall good 😊

I really like this low capacity pressure cooker. Saves on fuel/energy. I can now efficiently cooks small servings of tasty beans.It must be said, even if you are experienced with pressure canners, make sure to read the instructions.The lid is a little finicky. Do a couple water test to help you figure out how to align the lid and make it seal properly.The cooker comes to pressure very fast. I suspect this is how people are damaging their cookers in the low rated reviews. It will come to pressure within 1 or 2 minutes after putting the weight. If you are using other pressure cooker brands, you expect a lot more down time before you start timing your cook.I don't see why people are saying this is poorly made. It's much sturdier than my presto and parts are easy to find.

I always trust Hawkins; they have made themselves a reliable brand. The last one lasted for more than 3 years, so I repurchased it. It would be more convenient if they provided an extra set of rubber washers, but it is not a deal breaker.

Amazon can increase its selection of shippable pressure cookers. It’s a good value and I e used it successfully but the design leaves much to be desired. Compare it to Vinod pressure cooker design. This Hawkins: is a good size ( I would not buy anything smaller if you want to get a good pressure inside the cooker) but the lid design is strange and takes awhile to practice with. The top of the cooker is curved in so stacking containers inside is insanely tricky coupled with the way the lid has to be fitted in. Almost impossible to fit 2 containers inside. I purchased it when traveling and it does the job with the high pressure cooking needs plus it’s lightweight yet strong enough to pressure cook. Plus is it’s lightweight enough to put inside a suitcase and travel .

Nice item. Very helpful when there is a small gathering and have to cook food. The capacity is very high. It helps save time and also keeps the same taste. Easy to clean.
