We wanted to have an article on Hawkins and started looking up the internet to see if some information is available. Unfortunately, most search engines returned some third party web sites which had very little information on Hawkins and their product lines.
The company has a website to its credit : http://www.hawkinscookers.com/
Unfortunately as mentioned on the page, the site has a link only to the Corporate governance code and share holding information. However on the right side of the page we found two download-able files:

Hawkins Pressure Cookers
(taken from the pdf document - pc_catalog.pdf)Â
Hawkins Cookers Limited has been in business since 1959. Today, it has two offices, three factories and over 1000 persons working. It is the leader in the pressure cooker market in India and has exported its products since 1974 to various countries in each of the six continents of the world.
Hawkins has sold over 33 million pressure cookers worldwide. Today, it makes 53 different models of pressure cookers in 8 different types. All Hawkins pressure cookers are listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc., USA, a not-for-profit institution testing products for public safety.
Each pressure cooker made by Hawkins features an inside fitting lid. This design is inherently safer than conventional pressure cookers. To open any Hawkins cooker, you have to first lower the lid slightly into the body of the cooker; and that cannot be done until the steam pressure inside the cooker falls to a safe level. Thus Hawkins pressure cookers are pressure-locked for safety - like a jetliner door!
The Hawkins Company is well known for not compromising on quality and for continual product innovation. The most thorough research and development, the most careful selection of materials, the best manufacturing practices and the strictest quality control - all go into making pressure cookers which are trusted by the millions of families using them.
Each cooker is tested to be leak-proof. Along with a superior pressure regulating system, this ensures that Hawkins cooks quickest. Each pressure cooker comes individually packed in an attractive full-colour carton. Cookbooks/Instruction Manuals come free with each pressure cooker. All Hawkins pressure cookers are guaranteed for five years.
Let us go into the different models manufactured by Hawkins:
1) Futura Pressure Cooker
A beautiful combination of form and function, Futura is the only pressure cooker in the world to have been displayed by The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
Futura cooks on average 46% faster than a microwave oven. The beautiful, durable black finish given by 60 micron thick hard anodising has two benefits. It makes the pressure cooker absorb heat faster making it more energy-efficient. And the pressure cooker stays looking new for years.
The unique pressure regulating system gives you the convenience of finger-tip pressure release and prevents clogging of the steam vent. The double-thick base stays flat, heats evenly and is ideal for light frying before pressure cooking. Suitable for gas, electric, ceramic and halogen cooktops.
It has two variants
- Futura Hard Anodised Pressure Cooker
- Future Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker
