Key Features and Benefits

1. Hard Anodised Aluminium Construction

This pressure cooker is crafted from hard anodised aluminium, which provides several advantages:

Higher durability – The hard anodising process makes aluminium stronger, scratch-resistant, and long-lasting.
Non-reactive surface – Unlike regular aluminium, hard anodised cookers do not react with acidic foods (like tomatoes and lemons), ensuring healthier cooking.
Corrosion and stain resistance – The black titanium coating prevents rusting, making it easier to maintain.
Compared to stainless steel cookers, this hard anodised model is lighter and heats up faster, ensuring quicker cooking.

2. Capacity – 3 Litres

The 3-litre capacity is ideal for:

Small to medium-sized families (2-4 members).
Cooking rice, dals, curries, soups, and vegetables.
Preparing quick meals with minimal fuel consumption.
This size provides a perfect balance between compactness and cooking efficiency, making it suitable for daily home cooking.

3. Outer Lid Design – Convenience and Versatility

The outer lid mechanism offers several benefits:

Easier to open and close – Perfect for beginners.
More space inside – Since the lid does not fit inside the rim, there is more usable cooking space compared to inner-lid cookers.
Versatile usage – Can be used for pressure cooking or as a handi for slow cooking.
Outer lid cookers are particularly user-friendly, making them a preferred choice for many home cooks.

4. Faster and Energy-Efficient Cooking

This pressure cooker is designed for faster cooking, leading to multiple advantages:

50-70% reduction in cooking time compared to traditional open cooking.
Even heat distribution ensures food is cooked uniformly.
Retains nutrients better than open boiling, making meals healthier.
The hard anodised body allows for better heat absorption, leading to reduced fuel or electricity consumption.

5. Safety Features

Gasket Release System (GRS) – Allows excess steam to escape safely in case of overpressure.
Precision Weight Valve – Maintains the right pressure levels to prevent mishaps.

These safety features provide peace of mind, making this pressure cooker reliable and accident-proof.
