Features and Benefits
Unique Curved Body
The cooker body is given the right curvature, which has three benefits: food is easy to stir during the cooking that is done prior to pressure cooking; this helps prevent the food from sticking or burning and clean-up is so easy! . For difficult dishes which require a lot of stirring, the Contura with its rounded sides is an ideal pressure cooker.
Hard Anodised – Inside and Out
The Contura Black pressure cooker body is hard anodised all over, inside and outside, which, coupled with the stainless steel lid, ensures high standards of hygiene and durability. These metals are known to be less reactive with the juices and acids in various foods.
Strong Hard Anodised Body
The beautiful, durable black finish given by 60 microns thick hard anodising has three benefits. It makes the pressure cooker absorb heat faster making it more energy-efficient. Your pressure cooker stays looking new for years. And the hard anodising surface reacts less with the acids and juices in the food.
Food-Grade Superior Stainless Steel lid
The food-grade stainless steel lid along with the hard anodised body all over – inside and outside – ensures the highest levels of hygiene and durability!
The Hawkins Pressure-Locked Safety lid
The unique Hawkins Pressure-Locked Safety lid ensures that when there is pressure inside the cooker, the lid is pressure-locked like a modern jetliner door. It cannot be opened until the pressure has fallen to a safe level.
Perfect Sealing through better design – “Play”
The lid handle bar is so attached to the lid that there is extra space for deliberate “play” or movement. This ensures perfect sealing of the lid with the rim of the cooker body. This is an advanced design feature – do not try to tighten the bar and remove this “play”!
Fixed Sturdy Pivot
The fixed sturdy pivot assists the self-centralising lid in locking securely and safely in place, ensuring a steam-tight seal. It is also designed so that no undue pressure is put on the plastic handles, as it is part of the metal handle itself. Thus the handles last longer.
Superior Pressure Regulation
The New Improved pressure regulation system regulates pressure better, cooks faster, saves more fuel, is easier to insert and remove and reduces sprouting of frothy foods (such as dal).
Automatic Safety Valve
The automatic Safety Valve is positioned such that, if it operates, the steam and food are deflected safely downwards.
Longer Lasting Gasket
As the lid fits from inside, the gasket does not get rubbed sideways, or cut or scraped every time the pressure cooker is opened or closed. Further, exposure of the gasket to food acids in the pressure cooker is minimised due to the protection given to it by the rim of the lid.
Sturdy, Stay-Cool Handles
Your pressure cooker comes with stay-cool handles which are easy and comfortable to hold while cooking. The handles are designed to provide optimal comfort and protection from excessive heat when the cooker is in use. The metal screws and rivets used to fasten the handles are safely recessed to limit the chances of your hand coming into contact with hot metal during cooking.
Works on Gas
Recommended for use on Gas stove.
The Hawkins Cookbook Advantage
A cookbook or instruction manual is supplied free of cost with each pressure cooker. It valuable and practical information on the proper use and care of your pressure cooker, and a variety of tested recipes as well. Feel free to experiment and develop your own recipes once you are comfortable using your pressure cooker!

The Test Kitchen tests products from the consumer’s point of view. If a prototype has some issues at the testing stage, the Test Kitchen sends it back to the R&D Centre for improving the design.

Reliable and Efficient:
I recently bought the Hawkins Contura Black Pressure Cooker, and Iâm really happy with it. It has a nice black finish that makes my kitchen look good. The cooker feels strong and is made from good aluminum, so it heats food evenly.Using it is quite simple. The handles are easy to hold and stay cool, which makes it safe to use. Iâm not a very experienced cook, but the instructions are clear, and Iâve been able to make rice, dal, and even some curries without any issues. Everything comes out tasty!Cleaning is easy too. The non-stick surface means I can just wipe it down after cooking, which saves time. I usually just wash it by hand, and it doesnât take long at all.Overall, the Hawkins Contura Black Pressure Cooker is a great buy for anyone who wants to prepare meals quickly and easily. Iâm glad I got it, and I would recommend it to others looking for a reliable pressure cooker!

VALUE FOR MONEY!
I already had Hawkins 3litres FUTURA & “it” being an very important part in my kitchen I, was in search of a SMALL SIZE COOKER for my kitchen as…since d year 2019 till date, using many different Cooking tactics, I m unable to get “WELL COOKED DALS as well as PULSES” @ Nalasopara. I had “short listed Hawkins Small size Ceramic Cooker as well as this CONTURA & finally I purchased Hawkins 1.5litres Contura & m 100% a HAPPY -SATISFIED “AILING Sr. Citizen”. Both these Hawkins Products r my Amazon.in Purchases & m glad that v hve Variety of OPTIONS on Amazon.in for Short-listing the items in our Wish-List/s & then finally opting to purchase our desired product.Being a totally bed-ridden Sr.Citizen, it’s absolutely impossible for me to go SHOPPING in LOCAL SHOPS- MALLS but…Amazon.in is a boon to me. I get variety of products with their prices. Not only that I get d opportunity of COMPARING them with other Products on the Browser itself. What else a bed-ridden Sr. Citizen need more?Amazon.in’s Customer Care Executives along with their entire Staff-Team of all their faculties are very prompt & efficient. Delivery, Return-Replace/Refund Policies, the facility of Amazon Pay /Wallet are hassel free. Only PROBLEMATIC THING is CONTACTING Amazon.in & their IVR SYSTEM asking the Customer/s to “Press 1, 2,3,bla-bla-bla!” It’s almost DISGUSTING, RIDICULOUS & TIME WASTING. Moreover Sr. Citizen/s, ailing-Paralytic Customers etc. find it difficult to follow d IVR Instructions. These hazards NEEDS TO BE SOLVED OUT esp. to d Sr.Citizen/s @ d earliest. Anyways.
