The Hawkins Classic, Hawkins' best-selling range of pressure cookers, stands out for its attractive blend of features, benefits, and affordability. Each model features an inside-fitting lid, enhancing safety as it pressure-locks akin to a jetliner door. As Hawkins' inaugural range, the Classic has evolved with constant innovations, with the latest being induction base and a superior pressure regulating system. The pressure regulating system ensures a narrower, more efficient pressure range, reducing frothy food sprouting and facilitating easier insertion and removal. Safety is paramount with the valve strategically placed under the lid handle bar, directing steam downward. The gasket, exposed to minimal steam, prolongs its lifespan. The stay-cool handles, with a sturdy pivot, don't stress the plastic handles, ensuring durability. Suitable for gas, electric and induction cooktops, the Hawkins Classic remains a reliable kitchen companion.
