Can I use this cooker on an induction stove?

No. It is aluminium with no induction base, so it works only on gas and other non-induction stoves.

How many people does the 5-litre size serve?

Roughly four to six people for rice, dal or a curry. It is a family-sized cooker rather than a small one.

What is an inner lid cooker?

The lid sits inside the body and is held down by pressure rather than clamping over the rim. It is a common traditional design in Indian kitchens.

It is BIS certified, which covers the safety standards for pressure cookers sold in India. As with any cooker, keep the vent clear and seat the lid correctly.

Does it come with a lid and gasket?

Yes, the inner lid is included. Check the gasket and safety valve periodically and replace worn parts.

How should I clean the aluminium body?

Wash by hand with mild soap and avoid harsh scouring pads, which speed up dulling and pitting of the aluminium.

Our take on the Pigeon by Stovekraft Special Aluminium Inner Lid Pressure Cooker

A 5-litre aluminium pressure cooker with a traditional inner-lid design, BIS certified for safety. The inner lid seats inside the body and locks under pressure, a simple, proven layout that many Indian households grew up with. Aluminium heats fast and is light to lift, but it is not induction-ready, so it only works on gas or other non-induction stoves. It suits families cooking rice, dal and curries in bulk; buyers wanting induction use or a harder-wearing finish should look at stainless steel or induction-base models instead.
