- Is the Hawkins Contura ceramic cooker induction compatible?
- Most Contura ceramic models are made for gas and electric coil stoves, not induction. Check the base marking on the specific model before buying for an induction cooktop.
- Can I use metal utensils in it?
- No. The ceramic coating scratches, so use wooden or silicone spoons and wash it gently by hand.
- How many people does 3.2 quarts serve?
- It suits two to four people for rice, dal or beans. For family batches or meal prep, a larger 5-quart cooker fits better.
- Does it come with a pressure regulator and gasket?
- Yes, Hawkins ships the cooker with its weight/regulator and a gasket installed. Spare gaskets and safety valves are sold separately by Hawkins.
