Decakila 5.5L Aluminium Pressure Cooker KMER018M with Bakelite Handle

Our review

This Decakila pressure cooker is a 5.5-litre aluminium pot with an outer lid and a Bakelite handle designed to stay cooler to the touch while you move it. The body uses A3003 aluminium alloy, which the brand says spreads heat evenly, so stews, beans and rice cook through without constant stirring. The 5.5-litre size sits in the middle of the range: generous enough for a family pot of pilau or a batch of maharage, but still manageable on a standard home burner. It suits households cooking for four to six people, and anyone moving up from a smaller cooker. Before buying, check that your stovetop suits aluminium and that you have space for the outer lid, which needs clearance when lifted. Compare against stainless steel models if you want induction compatibility, and against smaller aluminium cookers if you usually cook for two. Available on Sokonia.
