Overview
Hawkins builds the Futura FP50 as a hard anodised pressure cooker with an inner lid, finished in black. The body and lid are non-reactive with food, and a fingertip control releases the steam.
A thick base that stays flat and a non-reactive anodised surface are the reasons to buy, and the fingertip release adds control. The listing gives no weight and no induction statement.
Who it's for
A household cooking large pots of food on a non-induction cooktop. Induction owners, and people who prefer stainless steel, should look at other cookers.
Pros and cons
- Hard anodised body and lid
- Non-reactive with food
- Thick flat base
- Works on four cooktop types
- Induction not listed
- Weight not listed
- Speed claim is unsupported
Performance notes
A thick base stays flat on the burner and spreads heat evenly, and the hard anodised surface does not react with food or tarnish. An inner lid seals in steam, and the fingertip release lets pressure out at the end. The speed claim against a microwave is the maker's own.
