beautiful combination of form and function, Futura is the only pressure cooker in the world to have been displayed by The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Futura cooks on average 46% faster than a microwave oven. The beautiful, durable black finish given by 60 microns thick hard anodising has two benefits. It makes the pressure cooker absorb heat faster making it more energy-efficient. And the pressure cooker stays looking new for years. The unique pressure regulating system gives you the convenience of finger-tip pressure release and prevents clogging of the steam vent. The double-thick base stays flat, heats evenly and is ideal for light frying before pressure cooking. Each Futura features an inside-fitting lid. This design is inherently safer than conventional cookers. Thus it is pressure-locked for safety – like a jetliner door! The safety valve is located under the lid handle bar so that when it operates the steam is safely deflected downwards. The gasket has minimum exposure to steam inside the cooker, does not rub every time the product is opened and closed – so lasts longer. Stay-cool handles. Suitable for gas, electric, ceramic and halogen.
The Futura Hard Anodised Handi (Saucepan) is a modern version of the traditional Indian cooking utensil used for flavourful, less-water cooking. Water poured into the specially-designed moat on the lid condenses the steam that rises from the food simmering in the Handi, which forms droplets on the underside – thus making delicious, tender and moist food. The Handi Instruction Manual includes recipes of such favourites as Dum Aloo (Potatoes in Thick Gravy), Paneer Pasanda (Cottage Cheese Simmered in Spices and Cream), Handi Chicken (Chicken Simmered in Gravy) and Mutton Biryani (Rice Layered with Spicy Mutton). The pans have strong, stay-cool plastic handles which are permanently riveted to the pans. The Hard Anodised finish on these pots will stay looking new for years. The pans are suitable for domestic gas, electric, ceramic and halogen cooktops.
