This is the best cooker we have used so far. Cooks faster and saves gas / electricity.
Price offered by amazon is much less then what other competitors are offering. Also, you save on shipping charges which are waived by amazon

I'm not as happy with this 5-liter Contura as I am with the 3-liter one that I reviewed earlier. In the larger size, I seem to find a general impression of reduced quality. The main problem is that the bottom of this 5-liter Contura is not flat enough to work well on my glass-top electric stove. The cooker "rocks and rolls" on my electric stovetop --only a small portion of the cooker bottom actually makes direct contact with the flat glass of the stovetop. Other parts of the cooker, such as the pressure regulator ... well they just don't seem to fit as nicely and tightly and cleanly as they do on my smaller Contura cooker.

4.0 out of 5 stars I liked my new Hawkins Contura 5.0 Ltr, September 7, 2011

i ordered my new hawkins Contura 5.0 Ltr from Amazon , which arrived in 4-5 days . I already had 3.5 Ltr Hawkins futura since my bachelor days....but my wife found it bit small.....so e decided to buy Contura 5.0 Ltr.
My initial reaction was that i find it bit lightweight compared to even futura 3.5 ltr . My wife quickly put it to test and we had nothing to complain about . Although i would have liked it with a bit heavier base , but other than that i loved it.
