Xtra Thick Hard Anodised Body
The Contura Black XT pressure Cooker comes with a Xtra Thick Body that helps in cooking the food quickly and evenly. The beautiful, durable black finish given by 60 microns thick hard anodising has two benefits. It makes the pressure cooker absorb heat faster making it more energy-efficient. And your pressure cooker stays looking new for years.
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.
Induction Compatible Xtra Thick Base of 4.88mm
The 4.88,mm Xtra Thick base cooks quickly and evenly. Additionally, permanently attached to the Xtra Thick base is a plate of AISI 430 magnetic stainless steel which makes the cooker induction compatible.
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 screw 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 + Induction cooktops
Permanently attached to the Xtra Thick base is a plate of AISI 430 grade magnetic stainless steel which makes the cooker Induction Compatible. In addition, it is recommended for use on gas, electric, ceramic and halogen cooktops as well. The 5.8 mm extra-thick base always stays flat and maintains proper contact even after heavy-duty use.

The one gripe I have is that the rubber seal is completely loose and so very easy to lose. I should probably get spares of those, but I imagine when storing them, I'll lose those too, hahaha.For something like a simple curry, I'd put this over my Trangia storm cookset with the gas adaptor, throw in some butter and diced onions to get a little browning sear, then throw in some chicken or pork to also brown them a little, and then add the curry cubes with water so thicken the water while mixing it around, maybe adding some salt, rosemary, or cumin, or garam masala to taste. Once the water has turned to a somewhat thick curry, then add in small chunks of one carrot and one small potato, close it up tight and let the pressure cooker do its thing. In about 18 minutes or so, I'd release pressure, take off the top, drop the heat, and let it simmer for a bit longer (maybe 10 minutes or so).Then it's ready to eat.Pretty decent one pot meal while car camping, all in under an hour from setting up to starting eating.Now if I can just get spare rubber gaskets, I'd be set

I used a 2 litres in the past and never had any issue. Based on that, purchased this unit and happy with the purchase. Good for cooking 3-4 people, and liked the design.

Compré está olla y me ha salido muy buena. La uso frecuentemente, cocina rápido y no he tenido problemas con ella hasta ahora. Mi olla es de un tamaño pequeño, pero puedes escoger un tamaño más grande. La olla llegó bien empacada, sin problemas y a tiempo. Muy buena.

Esa olla es un peligro se le sale el vapor por los lados de la goma , se le sale el liquido por ahi y es muy dificil para mi cerrar la tapa bien. Perdi mi dinero con ese producto la compre hace mas de un mes y apenas la use hoy 19 de diciembre y pague la consecuencia por no haberla usado antes.

My first impression. The pot seems to be well made, but the the lid to me looks and feels lower grade material steel been used.

Product arrived on time and seems to be good quality. It’s a bit heavy, probably due to its heavy base. The lid is light weight and thin though, hope it works fine. Giving 4 stars because of some scratches on the handles and grid. I haven’t used it yet, will add my comments after using.

It never worked right from the beginning. The steam never built up inside and leaks from the sides. We replaced the gaskets with new ones bought original, tried three new ones but even they are loose. Placed a gasket in ice to shrink it so steam wouldn’t leak but this pressure cooker never worked! Such an expensive buy and all money gone waste!
