Vinod 18/8 Stainless Steel Outer Lid Pressure Cooker (5 Litre)

The Vinod 18/8 Stainless Steel Outer Lid Pressure Cooker (5 Litre) is a modern essential for the health-conscious Indian household. While many Indian kitchens still rely on traditional aluminium cookers, Vinod offers a premium upgrade with surgical-grade 18/8 stainless steel that ensures no metallic leaching into your food, even when cooking acidic dishes like chole, rajma, or tomato-based curries. With a 5-litre capacity, this cooker is perfectly sized for medium families of 4 to 6 members, or for preparing large batches of dal and biryani for weekend gatherings. The outer lid design provides a sleek look and makes it easier to clean compared to traditional inner-lid models. It features a heavy-duty sandwich base with an aluminum core encapsulated between two layers of stainless steel, which ensures even heat distribution—a critical factor for preventing the bottom of your dal or khichdi from burning on high-heat LPG gas stoves. This induction-friendly base also future-proofs your kitchen for modern cooking trends in cities like Bangalore or Mumbai. Safety is paramount, and Vinod includes a reliable pressure indicator and safety valve that meet Indian ISI standards, ensuring peace of mind during high-pressure cooking. The cool-touch Bakelite handles are designed for the ergonomic needs of Indian cooks, allowing for easy lifting even when the 5L pot is full. Backed by a 5-year warranty, it stands as a strong competitor to brands like Hawkins and Prestige, offering a blend of traditional whistling-method cooking with contemporary material science and a robust after-sales service network across India.
