Hawkins Futura 5 Litre Cook n Serve Stewpot, Non Stick Pot with Stainless Steel Lid

The Futura Cook n Serve Stewpot is a modern version of the traditional Indian patila or degchi (a deep cooking vessel). In these Stewpots you can conveniently cook rice, dal, curries and many popular desserts such as Firni, Sooji Halwa and Ras Malai. The thick base and sides of these Stewpots spread heat evenly and retain warmth for a long time – making them excellent utensils for both cooking and serving. Cooking and serving in the same pot makes good sense – the food stays hot longer and you have less to clean up and less for storage. The cooking surface is made of PFOA-free with a unique patented process by which high quality nonstick coating (made in Germany) is locked firmly into the tough Hard Anodised surface underneath. Therefore, the nonstick, if used properly, would last longer than the ordinary nonstick. The Stewpots have two stay-cool plastic handles. These pots are suitable for domestic gas, electric, ceramic and halogen cooktops. The Lid is made of AISI 304, 18/8 food grade Stainless Steel that is extremely hygienic, durable and non-reactive to most foods. It has a comfortable, stay-cool plastic knob.
