Prestige Duo Handi 1.5L Silky Red

The Prestige Duo Handi 1.5L (with a 2L design capacity) in Silky Red is an essential addition to modern Indian kitchens, particularly for bachelors, students, or nuclear families living in 1BHK flats. In India, pressure cookers are the heartbeat of the home, transforming tasks like boiling dal from a 45-minute ordeal into a quick 4-minute process. This model’s unique Handi shape is perfect for traditional Indian cooking techniques, allowing for better stirring of masalas before pressure cooking. Crafted from high-quality aluminium, this cooker ensures even heat distribution and rapid cooking, which is vital for the 70% of Indian households relying on LPG gas stoves. While aluminium is lightweight and cost-effective, users should note it is not induction-compatible and may react slightly with highly acidic foods like tamarind or citrus. Prestige, a brand under the TTK Group, has a long-standing heritage in India since its inception, ensuring that spare parts like the ISI-certified gasket and pressure valves are readily available in almost every local market. The 2L capacity is specifically designed for small portions, making it ideal for daily dal-rice or a quick vegetable khichdi for one or two people. Safety is a priority with its locking lid mechanism and overpressure protection, meeting the strict BIS and ISI standards expected by Indian consumers. The cool silky red finish adds a touch of style to the kitchen, while the ergonomic Bakelite handles ensure safe handling over open flames. With a generous 5-year product warranty and an extensive service network across India, this Prestige cooker offers peace of mind for first-time buyers and those looking for a reliable, portable secondary cooker for smaller meals.
