Hawkins Contura Hard Anodised Black Inner Lid Pressure Cooker - With Handle, CB20

Product Highlights

• The hard anodised models have all the features and benefits of the Hawkins Contura Pressure Cooker in a hard anodised body and stainless-steel lid. 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 the pressure cooker stays looking new for years. Recommended for use on gas stoves.
• What is Hard Anodising? Russian scientists first developed hard anodising to produce a metal surface tough enough for space travel. Hawkins now uses the same technology to make its Hard Anodised pressure cookers and cookware. Through a process of electrolysis at sub-zero temperature using a high-intensity electric current, a 60-microns thick layer of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) is formed molecule by molecule as an integral part of the metal. This process produces a surface harder than steel with wonderful properties for cooking. The Hard Anodised surface is non-toxic, non-staining and non-reactive with foods. It is thermal-efficient, heats fast and evenly and is not spoiled by high heat. It is tough and durable, will not tarnish or corrode and will stay looking new for years. Ideal for 2 or 3 persons.
