Vinod Platinum Triply Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker Combo (3.5L & 5L) Review

The Vinod Platinum Triply Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker Combo is a sophisticated upgrade for the modern Indian home, offering a blend of health and efficiency. Comprising a 3.5-liter and a 5-liter unit, this set is perfectly tailored for households ranging from 3 to 6 members. In an Indian context, the 3.5L unit serves as the daily workhorse for cooking 1-1.5 cups of dal or rice for a nuclear family, while the 5L unit is indispensable for heavier tasks like preparing mutton curry, chole, or a fragrant vegetable biryani for a Sunday lunch. Unlike traditional aluminium cookers that may react with acidic ingredients like tamarind, lemon, or tomatoes common in Indian gravies, the high-grade stainless steel interior ensures your food remains pure and chemical-free. The standout feature is the Triply construction: an aluminium core sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel. This provides the fast heating of aluminium with the non-reactive durability of steel, effectively eliminating 'hot spots' that often burn thick dals or khichdi at the bottom. These cookers are fully induction-compatible, making them a wise investment for urban kitchens in cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, or Delhi where induction adoption is rising alongside LPG. Safety is paramount with an ISI-certified design featuring a reliable pressure indicator and locking mechanism, catering to the needs of home cooks who rely on the traditional whistle-count method. The cool-touch Bakelite handles are ergonomically designed to manage the weight of the 4.2kg set safely over a high gas flame. With a 5-year warranty and Vinod’s established service network, this combo is a durable choice for those moving away from aluminium towards a healthier, premium stainless steel lifestyle.
