Beans, lentils and tough cuts that need an hour in an open pot cook in far less time under pressure, and this 3 L pressure cooker is sized for a small household on a gas hob. The aluminium alloy pot has an 18 cm base, a lid that locks under a long black handle, and a weight valve on top that lets steam out when pressure is up. It is part of our Kitchen Essentials collection.

- Check the valve is clear before each use
- Never force the lid open; let the pressure drop first
- Keep children away from the hob while it is under pressure
Frequently asked questions
Does the 3 L pressure cooker work on induction?
The 3 L pressure cooker is sold for gas stoves, and an aluminium base is not normally induction-compatible, so plan to use it on gas.
How much does the mini pressure cooker hold?
The mini pressure cooker holds 3 litres and has an 18 cm base, a size for a small household cooking rice, beans or stew.
Is the aluminium pressure cooker easy to open?
Open the aluminium pressure cooker only when it has cooled and the weight valve no longer lets out steam; the lid then turns free on its long handle.
