Body Construction

Nigella Stainless Steel Pressure Cookers body and lid are made from food-grade, 18/8, non-magnetic, superior stainless steel (AISI Grade 304). 304 Stainless Steel contains 18% Chromium and 8% Nickel for greater anti-corrosion resistance, and to better withstand the various acids found in many foods such as fruits, meats, milk, and vegetables. It is hence one of the best quality stainless steel grades used for making cooking utensils.

Heavy Duty Sandwich Bottom

This ensures heat spreads quickly and evenly thus avoiding hotspots and burning or sticking of food. The base is made of AISI Grade 430 magnetic stainless steel which is induction-friendly, and inside is made of anti-corrosion 304 steel
