Using Grids, Separator Sets, Idli Stands and Molds
Accessories make your Hawkins Pressure Cooker even more useful.
Hawkins Separator Sets and Grids
The Hawkins Classic Pressure Cooker can be purchased with an
aluminium Separator Set and grid or without the Separator Set and
grid in 5 Litre, 6.5 Litre
and 10 Litre sizes. The
grid is used for minimising
the contact between food
and the cooking liquid
and/or the base. The
Separator Set (containers
along with a stand) can
be used for cooking two
or three dishes at a time.
The Separator Sets are designed to be used WITHOUT a grid.
Using Grids
The grid should not be used when cooking soups, stews, rice
dishes,
dal
, pulses or legumes and similar foods or when cooking
with a Separator Set. The height of the grid is about
1
/
2
inch/1.3 cm.
This height should be taken into consideration when calculating how
much remaining space is available for food.
•
To steam food above the water (rather than immersed in liquid
with flavours blending). For example, potatoes cooked on a grid
instead of directly on the base may have a better texture and
taste.
•
To place molds or other containers (not provided) on it, when
steaming foods in them to provide stability for the mold.
•
As a coaster or pad for the hot cooker body (not on fine furniture).
