About this item

•The whistle indicator tells you steam has started without opening the lid and losing heat.
•Heat-resistant handles are a real safety improvement over bare steel handles on a hot cooker.
•Porous plates circulate steam evenly, which is what stops idlis being dense at the edges.
•Highest price and a 3.8 rating. The whistle is an indicator, not a pressure feature — do not expect faster cooking.
