Dear Suga ,

Welcome to UK.

You would find several brands of pressure cooker in Indian stores.Mind, they are expensive when compared to India and I have seen a lot of Indians who purchase pressure cooker back in India instead of buying it here.

Coming to the brands, I have seen 'Prestige' available in most of the Indian stores but as I said it would be priced in pounds and the one I have seen was around 99 pounds.Hope this information is useful.

Hi Suga:

Like Sabitha mentioned, you will get pressure cookers at Indian stores. Also, you get them in local stores like Tesco and Argos. You may or may not get Indian brands. However, a friend of mine bought at a local store (cannot remember if it was Tower or Tefal brand) and she was quite happy with it - she was doubly pleased since the cooker didn't whistle

and make a noise! Sorry, I cannot remember the price.

Hope this helps.

It is a pleasure to share information always:)

I agree with you - neither did I know about Argos having a good range of pressure cookers until my friend said she bought her pressure cooker in the UK!! I was surprised!
