Our take on the Hawkins Contura XT CXT30 Pressure Cooker 3 L

The Hawkins Contura XT CXT30 is a 3-liter aluminum pressure cooker with a curved, hard-anodized black body and Hawkins' heat-shielding handle. It works on induction and gas, and the 3 L size suits two to three people or small batches of dal, rice and vegetables. Against stainless rivals it heats fast and costs less, but aluminum is not dishwasher-safe and the nonstick-style finish needs hand washing. Owners rate Hawkins build quality and the sturdy handle; the main complaints are the small capacity and the weight of the body.
