Prestige Deluxe 3 Ltr Aluminum Pressure Cooker

The Prestige Deluxe 3 Ltr Aluminum Pressure Cooker is a 2020-launched model from the TTK Group, a brand synonymous with Indian kitchen trust since the mid-20th century. In the Indian context, where a pressure cooker is used at least twice daily, this 3-liter model hits the 'sweet spot' for size. It is ideal for cooking 2 cups of rice or 1.5 cups of dal, which are the dietary foundations for a family of four. Built from high-quality virgin aluminum, it offers the lightweight handling (1.4 kg) that many Indian home cooks prefer, especially when maneuvering on a crowded 3-burner gas stove. The aluminum material ensures that the cooker reaches high pressure quickly, reducing the cooking time of tur dal from 45 minutes on an open flame to just about 12 minutes (5-6 whistles). This model features an outer lid design, which is preferred by many for its ease of cleaning and larger opening. Safety is paramount, and this cooker is ISI certified (IS 2347), featuring a Gasket Release System and a unique pressure indicator that rises when the pot is under pressure and drops when it is safe to open—a crucial feature for preventing accidents. While aluminum is excellent for heat conductivity, users should note it may react slightly with very acidic foods like tamarind-heavy sambar if stored for long periods inside the vessel. Backed by a 5-year product warranty and a massive service network across India, this Prestige cooker is a durable, low-maintenance investment for any modern Indian household.
