Hawkins Pressure Cooker Test // How to do a trial run for function and safety

Do you have a brand new Hawkins pressure cooker that you want to test out for the first time? Or maybe you have an older one that's been gathering dust and you want to make sure it's still in good working condition. In this video I'll show you how to do an easy step-by-step test run on your Hawkins pressure cooker and put your mind at ease. Doing a trial run is a really good idea if you're new to pressure cooking so you can become familiar with the process of using your new cooker BEFORE you try it with food. And if you already know how to use one but your cooker has been gathering dust for awhile you can use this video to make sure it's still in good shape.

Great video I've never used one before but this film was so easy to understand and now i love my hawking's pressure cooker thanks for the simple no nonsense tips.😀👍

[@marykayriley]

Thank you, im happy it helps. I love my Hawkins too!

[@danlovestotravel8159]

That was an amazing pressure cooker tutorial from one just as amazing gorgeous lady. I'm buying my first pressure cooker now thanks to you. Thank you from Australia👍

[@noordinm]

Thank you for such clear and concise instructions. Thank you so much. Most other videos on this are garbled noise. Thank you

[@ivanconceicao5977]

Thank you so much. Simple and direct. I really appreciated your help

[@nealblackburn8628]

i have been using another brand pressure cooker for a few years now this is my first experience with a Hawkins ...thanks for explaining that the steam should release three or four times a minute ..at first i thought it was defective because the other brand is a more constant controlled release.... thanks

[@cwantuch]

Hah…I had a Futura model then bought one of these and the difference in the heating took me by surprise. When I read about a whistle, I expected an actual whistle. When I experience this whistle it totally freaked me out and I mistakenly thought it was about to go over pressure. Your video cleared up all my confusion so thanks.

[@fahmidamaroya5714]

Thank you. I am new to using the pressure cooker and not too sure how to use it, but your video helps a lot.

[@arabelasu]

Thank you was finding it hard to use my new pressure cooker and this video helped me

[@lgaines4086]

I really love the Hawkins hevibase then I found your videos, now i love it even more. Some cooking videos using pressure cooking would be so helpful! Thank you!

[@marykayriley]

Next week I'll post one, thank you for watching I'm glad people are out there pressure cooking, these things are great right??

[@jefferystone3266]

very helpful video, thanks

Excelent directions, I got a pot long time ago at Singapore now I know how to use it. Greeting from Mexico.

You are lovely and thank you for the tutorial

[@johnrichie2136]

When the pressure regulator whistles, no further heat is requires. Just turn off the heat and allow it cook until pressure is equalized. Whatever you may be cooking, it's done for sure when pressure is equalized and you can open the lid.

[@drincogni]

You should precise that cooking will keep on going and if its light foods it will overcook .add how to stop the pressure cooking by cooling the pressure cooker under tap water.

[@philyates4814]

I watched the entire video and barely noticed a pressure cooker…..hubber hubber. Thank you.

[@OutontheTrails]

Thanks for the clear and informative video. I never quite understood how the “old fashion” pressure cookers worked. Just got a 3qt. Hawkins to take out camping! I have an Instapot but can’t necessarily take that out camping, can I?😂

[@marykayriley]

You'd need a very long extension cord!

[@RafaelHe]

Hey Mary Kay, nice video. How about some recipe videos?

[@marykayriley]

I'm on it, next week I'll have one for you. It's basic but delicious!

[@MrWarlockFTW]

I got one from my grandmother it did not have a gasket. I had to buy one before I could use it.

[@JohnGielis]

Mary, have you tested the Hawkins Hevibase 5-litre IH50? I aim to do some pickled pork.

[@marykayriley]

Ooh pickled pork sounds great! I love pickling stuff too. I have never used a hevi-base but im think of adding one to my Hawkins collection. Let me know how it turns out!

[@mortalmoody]

Is it from 18. Century

[@SassyTheSasquatch96]

Hi quick question, Every other kind of pressure cooker i have owned recommends a 10-15 minuet venting before adding the rocker/weight. is this the same case or can we just add the weight as you say, as soon as its producing a constant stream of heat and steam from the top. Thank you very much if you reply to this!

[@marykayriley]

Hi, i got my instructions for this procedure straight from the Hawkins website so if you're using other brands of cookers i can't necessarily vouch for them as they might work differently, i can't tell from your message if you're using Hawkins or another brand.. But it seems to me that the point of waiting to add the weight is to wait long enough for the water to be boiling and producing steam which happens pretty quickly usually in about 4 or 5 minutes. So once it's reached boiling point i can't see the point of waiting any longer. If the water is boiling then it's boiling right?

[@SassyTheSasquatch96]

@@marykayriley Oh im so sorry what i meant to say was i am using a hawking's big boy 22l and its basically just a suited up bigger version of your model in the video :D I just know that the USDA recommends that all types of pressure canners must be vented 10 minutes before they are pressurized aha

[@doma7956]

​@thomasbriscoe2357 that depends if you're canning vs cooking. The lady in the video is giving instructions for a pressure cooker, but to can you need to vent because you want 121 Celsius internal temperature which is achieved with fully saturated steam inside with no air. Tldr: if you're canning, vent, if not, dint bother.

[@wensipeng6279]

I just bought 2L one today. Could the gasket last 10 years?

[@marykayriley]

Maybe, mine is coming up on 8. Just keep an eye on it over time, as long as it's in good shape

[@ronniecudia5514]

Is Hawkins product made where?, if you know. Is it a reliable product from Hawkins?

[@marykayriley]

I like them a lot! They're made in Mumbai

[@Aveer-jcb]

i have one hawkins pressure cooker steel😊😅🎉❤

[@neillewis82]

The weight on my hawkins 12l doesn't rock... its either bursting steam out of it and doesn't go back down until I push the weight back. Is this normal?

[@marykayriley]

It's hard to say for sure, there are so many possible reasons. Did it used to function correctly?

[@neillewis82]

@@marykayriley its brand new, 1st time I was using it. My old PC uses to get up to pressure and the weight sat and rocked slowly. Its kinda all or nothing with this new one 🙈

[@SassyTheSasquatch96]

@@neillewis82 Hi neil as someone who owns the 23l model i can tell you from what i can gather as our units are frankly quite large the unit will just whistle and wont rock, my unti for example whistles about once every 2-3 mins rather than that many times per single min due to just how big it is compared to a smaller unit. hope this helps.

[@sbfarmer8]

lol, i have never removed the sticker. :) had mine at least 10 years.

[@michaeltimagos1269]

what if did not whistle changed the gasket already..

[@marykayriley]

Hmm, of course I can't know for sure but it makes me think it's got to be something wrong with the vent weight..have you used the pot before or is it brand new?

[@AFMHdSC]

What is the problem of letting the stickers there ?

[@marykayriley]

I don't think there would be any major consequences of leaving the stickers intact, I know many people leave them on. Other than the aesthetics and maybe a little baked on glue residue. It simply advises to remove them on the Hawkins website, so that's what I recommend too

[@stevenhamill9892]

How much water goes into the pot if I'm cooking marofat peas

[@marykayriley]

Ooh I don't know, I've no experience making mushy peas and I respect all things British too much to pretend to know how to cook them properly

[@bitw434]

I have the 20L why do i feel so nervous

[@marykayriley]

Lol cuz that's a huge pressure cooker! It just looks scary though. Remember, as long as everything is working there is nothing to be afraid of. Make all the visual checks and run the tests in the video and you're all good. If you want extra certainty go check out the Hawkins website, there is tons of info on there and you'll see that people all over the world use those giant cookers every day

[@marykayriley]

Extra note, because that's such a huge cooker (the biggest ive ever used is a 3L), you really should go to the Hawkins site and see if there are special directions for the extra large cookers like yours
