All sorted.
I picked up the Tower 7L psi 11.5.
Let's see how I get on with it.

Thanks again for the info

I was wondering if anyone tried a hawkins pressure cooker or at least any feedback? I remember chewytikka making a comment on one once, but I don't remember whether he owned one.

I found this 12Litre PC in my green grocers for 40euro, which seems like a bargain to me. The only reason why I didn't buy it was because I wanted to read up on it first, but I can't really find many info on them (other than the official site)

Although they don't do the 12 litre, they seem to get good reviews on Amazon

Thanks, some of the reviews on amazon are the usual b/s "giving it 3 stars because the delivery was quite fast", but at least I'm a bit more confident now. Thanks Gav

Do you own one? I was wondering how many litres do you think they'd do?

I don't own a Hawkins, but for 35 quid I would push by you and buy this bargain.

Full 15 psi (110kpa) operating pressure, cooking temperature of 121oC

No brainer really, buy it.

I don't own one but as Chewy says, at that price for that size, its definitely a no brainer.

Fair enough. I'm getting it, just need to butter up the missus before I turn up home with yet another pot.

Thanks!

After some recent bad experiences from manufacturers who exaggerate massively the specifications of certain products, I'm not sure I'd trust a figure like that.

Today, I added a pressure gauge to my very basic Tower 4L pressure cooker, bought from Argos when it was about
