- Is the Hawkins CB30 induction compatible?
- The aluminium body is not induction-ready on its own. It works on gas and electric coils, and on induction only with a magnetic base plate.
- How many people does a 3-liter cooker serve?
- It suits two to four people for dal, rice or vegetables. Larger families usually step up to a 5-liter model.
- Can I put it in the dishwasher?
- No. Hand wash it to protect the hard-anodised finish, which can dull in a dishwasher.
- Does it come with a pressure regulator and gasket?
- It ships as a complete cooker with its lid, pressure regulator and gasket fitted. Replacement gaskets and weights are sold separately.
- Is it safe to use metal spoons in it?
- Yes. The hard-anodised surface is tougher than plain aluminium and tolerates metal utensils better, though silicone or wooden spoons still prolong the finish.
- How does it compare with a stainless steel pressure cooker?
- It heats faster and resists scratches well, but stainless steel is dishwasher-safe and does not react with acidic foods.
