Hawkins Miss Mary 6L (MM60) Pressure Cooker

In the landscape of Indian kitchens, the pressure cooker is indispensable, turning 45-minute chores into 4-minute tasks. The Hawkins Miss Mary 6L (MM60) is specifically engineered to cater to the needs of larger households of 5 to 7 members. Whether you are cooking a massive pot of South Indian sambar, Northern Indian rajma, or a one-pot vegetable khichdi, this 6-litre vessel provides the volume needed for joint families or weekend gatherings. Since its launch in 2021, the Miss Mary range has served as Hawkins' most accessible line, offering the brand's heritage of safety without the premium price tag. The body is crafted from high-quality aluminum, which is the most popular material in India (representing over 60% of the market) due to its lightweight nature and superior thermal conductivity. This ensures that even tough pulses like chickpeas or black urad dal are cooked evenly and quickly, saving valuable LPG. The cooker features the classic Hawkins inner-lid design; the lid sits inside the rim, ensuring it cannot be opened until the pressure falls to a safe level. This 'whistle-count' friendly cooker is optimized for the standard 3-4 burner Indian gas stove. While it lacks induction compatibility, its flat base remains stable on open flames. The handles are made of durable Bakelite, protecting your hands while maneuvering a full 6L pot. Maintenance is simplified as Hawkins gaskets and safety valves are available in almost every local hardware store across India, backed by an extensive service network.
