The Hawkins Stainless Steel 3 Litre Wide Pressure Cooker HSS3W is a premium kitchen essential designed for durable, hygienic and efficient everyday cooking. Its three-litre capacity is suitable for approximately three to four people and works well for rice, dal, curries, vegetables and family meals. The body and lid are made from high-quality stainless steel, while the extra-thick sandwich bottom promotes quick and uniform heat distribution. Its wide design also provides convenient access for stirring, frying ingredients and cleaning after use.
Hawkins Stainless Steel 3 Litre Wide Pressure Cooker HSS3W
Designed for modern Indian kitchens, the Hawkins Stainless Steel 3 Litre Wide Pressure Cooker HSS3W combines a durable stainless steel body with a pressure-locked inner lid. The lid fits inside the cooker mouth and cannot be opened while internal pressure remains, supporting safer operation.
The three-litre capacity is practical for couples and small families preparing fresh daily portions. Its broad body provides better food visibility and easier access for stirring ingredients before pressure cooking.
AISI 304 Food-Grade Stainless Steel Construction
The cooker body and lid use 18Cr/8Ni AISI 304 food-grade stainless steel. This material provides a hygienic cooking surface that resists corrosion, pitting and staining during normal household use.
Stainless steel also maintains a bright appearance and does not rely on a coated internal cooking surface. The cooker is suitable for rice, pulses, vegetables, gravies and other everyday recipes when maintained according to the manufacturer’s care instructions.
Extra-Thick Sandwich Bottom
The HSS3W has a 5.81 mm total base thickness. A 4.06 mm aluminium core is enclosed between two stainless steel layers to spread heat quickly and uniformly across the bottom.
This construction helps reduce localised hot spots and keeps the base permanently flat. The enclosed aluminium does not come into direct contact with food, while the stainless steel exterior provides strength and compatibility with multiple cooking surfaces.
Gas and Induction Compatible Pressure Cooker
The Hawkins HSS3W can be used on gas, induction, electric, ceramic and halogen cooktops. Hawkins states that Stainless Steel Pressure Cookers supplied in India since April 2011 are induction compatible.
This flexibility makes the model suitable for traditional and modern kitchen setups. Users should choose a burner or induction zone appropriate for the 158 mm flat base and avoid heating the empty cooker.
Wide Pressure Cooker for Convenient Cooking
The wide-body format provides more room for stirring ingredients and checking food before the lid is secured. It is useful for recipes that begin with tempering spices, sautéing onions or lightly frying ingredients before pressure cooking.
Hawkins states that the stainless steel range can be used for light and deep frying as well as pressure cooking. Users must still follow the supplied instructions and should never attempt pressure frying with oil.
Pressure-Locked Inner Lid
The inside-fitting lid is designed to remain pressure-locked while steam pressure is present. The lid must first move slightly into the cooker body before it can be removed, which cannot happen until the internal pressure falls to a safe level.
Users should never force the cooker open. If the handles are difficult to separate, the cooker must be allowed additional time to cool and depressurise.
Pressure Regulator and Safety Valve
The pressure regulator maintains the required cooking pressure and releases excess steam during operation. The safety valve provides an additional pressure-release mechanism if the normal steam outlet becomes blocked or the cooker overheats.
Hawkins positions the safety valve so that released steam is directed downward. The vent tube, regulator and safety valve should be checked before each use and kept free from food particles.
Long-Life Gasket and Stay-Cool Handles
The inner-lid design reduces sideways rubbing on the sealing gasket whenever the cooker is opened or closed. This helps minimise wear and supports longer gasket life.
Stay-cool handles provide a secure grip during normal carrying and positioning. Handles should be checked regularly and tightened if loose, and the cooker should not be moved while it remains under pressure.
