Hawkins Hevibase Pressure Cooker

The Hawkins Hevibase is an aluminium pressure cooker built for induction. Choose 5 litres for 5 to 7 people or 6.5 litres for bigger batches.

Thick Base, No Bulging

Thin aluminium bases warp on induction. The Hevibase has a double-thick 6.35 mm hard-anodised base with an AISI 430 magnetic stainless steel plate, so it stays flat, heats evenly and is ideal for light frying before pressure cooking.

• Induction Ready: stainless plate.
• Inner Lid: pressure-locked.
• 2 Sizes: 5 or 6.5 litres.

Pressure Cooking Tips

An improved regulator saves fuel. For safe, successful pressure cooking, always check that the sealing ring is seated correctly and the vent is clear before you lock the lid. Never fill the pot more than two thirds full, or half full for foods that froth and expand such as beans, lentils, rice and grains, and always add at least the minimum amount of liquid stated in the manual so the cooker can build steam. Bring it up to pressure, then lower the heat or let the programme take over and start timing. When cooking is done, let the pressure drop naturally for joints of meat, stocks and beans, or use the quick release for vegetables, and never force the lid open while there is pressure inside. Pressure cooking cuts cooking times by up to 70 percent, which saves energy and keeps more vitamins, colour and flavour in your food. It turns cheaper cuts such as beef shin, brisket, lamb shoulder and pork ribs meltingly tender in under an hour, cooks dried chickpeas and kidney beans without overnight soaking, and makes rich stock from bones in a fraction of the usual time. Try curries, dal, chilli, risotto, soups and steamed puddings. After use, wash the pot, lid and sealing ring in warm soapy water, check the valves are clean, and store the lid upside down on the pot so the gasket keeps its shape. Replace the sealing ring every year or two, or whenever it starts to leak.
