Ok... in order to survive in a foreign land I have to cook. And this was a parting gift that I got from my family - dosent sound all that cool but I realized that it was a lifesaver!
From making Khichdis to Instant Rice, it is the best pressure cooker!! I prefer this over electronic rice cookers. They are not reliable but you can trust hawkins. I have been using it for a while and I have not had any problems. Infact by the end of this college year, one could call me a professional cook. You get these in various sizes...so depending on your stomach, the smallest one should be enough for a single person. If you are heading abroad for studies, make sure you have one of these or you will regret - For Sure!
