Its pressure-locked safety lid and superior 18/8 stainless steel construction ensure durability, safety, and hygienic cooking. Designed for busy professionals, it delivers meals up to 10 times faster while preserving nutrients and flavors, making it an essential kitchen upgrade for efficient, healthy cooking. ## Description From the manufacturer Food-Grade Superior Stainless Steel The Hawkins Stainless Steel pressure cooker body and lid are made from food-grade, 18/8, non-magnetic, superior stainless steel (AISI Grade 304). The '18/8' symbolises that this stainless steel grade contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, for greater anti-corrosion resistance, and to better withstand the various acids found in many foods such as fruits, meats, milk, and vegetables. It is hence one of the best quality stainless steel grades used for making cooking utensils. Type 304 stainless steel has great strength, which means that, properly used, your Hawkins Stainless Steel pressure cooker will give you many years of faithful service. Food-grade Superior Stainless Steel lid The 18/8 superior stainless steel lid ensures the highest levels of hygiene and durability. 5.8 mm Extra-thick, Heat-diffusing Sandwich Bottom The pressure cooker Body and Lid are made of food-grade, superior stainless steel for maximum hygiene and durability. On the outside bottom of the pressure cooker, sandwiched between two sheets of stainless steel, is a core of 4.1 mm thick aluminium, which spreads heat quickly and evenly. This means no hotspots – food will not burn or stick. The external base is made of AISI Grade 430 magnetic stainless steel, which means that your Hawkins Stainless Steel pressure cooker will work on both gas & induction cooktops. The extra-thick base stays flat and never bulges. It can be used safely for light and deep frying before pressure cooking. The Hawkins Pressure-Locked Safety lid The unique Hawkins Pressure-Locked Safety lid ensures that when there is pressure inside the cooker, the lid is pressure-locked like a modern jetliner door. It cannot be opened until the pressure has fallen to a safe level. Perfect Sealing through better design – 'Play' The lid handle bar is so attached to the lid that there is extra space for deliberate 'play' or movement. This ensures perfect sealing of the lid with the rim of the cooker body. This is an advanced design feature – do not try to tighten the bar and remove this 'play'! Fixed sturdy Pivot The fixed sturdy pivot assists the self-centralising lid in locking securely and safely in place, ensuring a steam-tight seal. It is also designed so that no undue pressure is put on the plastic handles, as it is part of the metal handle itself. Thus the handles last longer. Superior pressure regulation The New Improved pressure regulation system regulates pressure better, cooks faster, saves more fuel, is easier to insert and remove and reduces sprouting of frothy foods (such as dal). Automatic Safety Valve The automatic Safety Valve is positioned such that, if it operates, the steam and food are deflected safely downwards. Longer lasting Gasket As the lid fits from inside, the gasket does not get rubbed sideways, or cut or scraped every time the pressure cooker is opened or closed. Further, exposure of the gasket to food acids in the pressure cooker is minimised due to the protection given to it by the rim of the lid. Sturdy, stay-cool Handles Your pressure cooker comes with stay-cool handles which are easy and comfortable to hold while cooking. The handles are designed to provide optimal comfort and protection from excessive heat when the cooker is in use. The metal screw and rivets used to fasten the handles are safely recessed to limit the chances of your hand coming into contact with hot metal during cooking. Unique Curved Body The cooker body is given the right curvature, which has three benefits: food is easy to stir during the cooking that is done prior to pressure cooking; this helps prevent the food from sticking or burning which can otherwise be a problem in stainless steel, and clean-up is so easy! Works on Gas + Induction cooktops The AISI Grade 430 magnetic external base of the pressure cooker means that it can be used on induction cooktops. In addition, it is recommended for use on gas, electric, ceramic and halogen cooktops as well. The 5.8 mm extra-thick base always stays flat and maintains proper contact even after heavy-duty use.

The 10-litre capacity is perfect for family meals or batch cooking. Heats evenly, builds pressure quickly, and feels safe and reliable in use. Easy to clean and built to last. Excellent quality as expected from Hawkins. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good 💯 *by S***S on 19 October 2025* Very good thanks ### ⭐ Extremely unsafe! Avoid so you don't get injured! *by A***X on 6 February 2026* Terrible mess. Very dangerous. It releases steam. And then water leaks out of it with food debri. My kitchen is a war zone and my kid is scared of it. I am absolutely traumatised. Avoid! Just get an electric one that has safety mechanisms. They are actually cheaper than this one... ## Frequently Bought Together - HAWKINS Pressure Cooker, Stainless steel, Silver, 10 Litre - Hawkins B60 Pressure Cooker, 3 L, Silver - Hawkins Pressure Cooker Safety Valve --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/62931793-hawkins-d40-pressure-cooker-10-litre-silver](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/62931793-hawkins-d40-pressure-cooker-10-litre-silver) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-08-14*
