Hawkins Contura 5 Litre Aluminium Pressure Cooker – Reliable, Efficient & Built for Indian Kitchens

The Hawkins Contura 5 Litre Pressure Cooker is a trusted kitchen essential designed to meet the daily cooking needs of modern Indian households. Known for its unmatched quality, durability, and safety standards, Hawkins has been a household name in India for decades. This 5-litre pressure cooker from the Hawkins Contura collection is ideal for families, offering ample capacity, consistent performance, and long-lasting reliability.

Premium Build with High-Quality Aluminium Body

Crafted from high-grade aluminium, this pressure cooker ensures excellent heat conductivity for faster and more uniform cooking. The aluminium body allows heat to spread evenly across the base, reducing cooking time and saving fuel. With a base thickness of 3.25 mm and a flat base diameter of 150 mm, the cooker remains sturdy on gas stoves and delivers consistent cooking results every time.

The sleek black finish not only adds a modern touch to your kitchen but also enhances resistance to stains and discoloration over time. Designed for everyday use, the cooker is lightweight yet strong, weighing just 1.46 kg, making it easy to handle even when full.

Spacious 5 Litre Capacity – Perfect for Family Cooking

With a 5-litre capacity, this Hawkins pressure cooker is perfectly suited for medium to large families. It can comfortably prepare meals such as dal, rice, curries, vegetables, soups, biryani, pulao, khichdi, and even meat dishes in larger quantities. Whether you are cooking for daily family meals or hosting guests, this cooker provides the convenience of cooking more food in one go.

Inner Lid Design for Enhanced Safety

The inner lid (inside-fitting lid) design is a signature safety feature of Hawkins pressure cookers. This design ensures that the lid opens only when the pressure inside the cooker has dropped to a safe level. It significantly reduces the risk of accidental opening under pressure, making it a safer choice for everyday cooking.

The pressure regulator and gasket system are engineered for precise pressure control, helping preserve nutrients, flavour, and texture in food while ensuring faster cooking.

Manual Operation with Hand Control

This pressure cooker features a manual operation mode with hand control, making it simple and user-friendly. There are no complex settings or electronic components—just dependable, traditional pressure cooking that Indian kitchens trust. The sturdy handles provide a comfortable grip and remain cool for safe handling.

Designed for Gas Stove Use

The Hawkins Contura 5 Litre Pressure Cooker is designed primarily for gas stove cooking and does not include an induction base. Its robust flat base ensures stability on gas burners, making it ideal for traditional cooking setups commonly used in Indian homes.

Easy Maintenance & Care

To maintain its performance and finish, the cooker is not dishwasher safe and should be cleaned by hand. Hand washing helps preserve the aluminium body, gasket life, and overall durability. With proper care, this pressure cooker can last for many years, making it a cost-effective investment.

5-Year Guarantee & Lifetime Authorized Service

Hawkins stands firmly behind the quality of its products. This pressure cooker comes with a 5-year guarantee, as per the terms mentioned in the guarantee card included inside the carton. Additionally, Hawkins offers life-long free authorized service through over 700 Hawkins Authorized Service Centres across India, Nepal, and Bhutan.
