Prestige Pressure Cooker Popular Steel 3 Ltr
Prestige Popular Stainless Steel Outer Lid Pressure Cooker, 3 L
A 3-litre pressure cooker is the one most small kitchens use every day, for dal, rice, rajma, chole and a vegetable or two in the same meal. The Prestige Popular Stainless Steel Outer Lid Pressure Cooker, 3 L (model 20651) is made for that routine. It has a food-grade stainless steel body, a triply base that works on both gas and induction, and an outer lid that closes over the rim.
The base is built from three layers of stainless steel, aluminium and magnetic stainless steel, so heat spreads evenly and food is less likely to catch at the bottom. Safety comes from two backups: a metallic safety plug that releases excess pressure, and a gasket release system that acts as a second safeguard. The cooker is ISI certified, and Prestige provides a 5-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
A pressure cooker is a safety-critical purchase, so it is worth buying from a seller who stands behind it. Girdhar Das & Sons has been Varanasi's authorised kitchenware dealer since 1970, and every Prestige product we stock is brand-authorised and 100% genuine.

Key Features
3 L Capacity for Everyday Cooking
Three litres is the classic size for couples and small families. It handles a pot of dal with rice on the side, a vegetable curry, or a batch of boiled potatoes and eggs without needing a bigger burner or storage space.
Food-Grade Stainless Steel Body
The body is corrosion-resistant food-grade stainless steel with no coating to peel. Steel does not react with tomato, tamarind or curd, so the taste of the food stays clean and the cooker looks good for years.
Triply Base for Gas and Induction
The three-layer base spreads heat evenly across the bottom, and its magnetic outer layer makes the cooker induction compatible. It works equally well on a gas stove, so you can switch cooktops without changing the cooker.
Two Layers of Safety
The metallic safety plug releases excess pressure, and the gasket release system acts as a backup. Prestige advises replacing the safety plug and gasket after one year of everyday use, which keeps both safety features reliable.
Outer Lid With a Deep Profile
The outer lid closes over the rim of the cooker, and its deep profile is designed to limit starchy boil-over. That means less mess on the stove when you cook rice or dal.
ISI Certified With a 5-Year Warranty
The cooker carries the ISI mark, and Prestige backs it with a 5-year manufacturer warranty. Keep your purchase invoice, since claims are processed against proof of purchase.
As a Wedding or Corporate Gift
A pressure cooker is one of the few gifts every new kitchen needs on day one, which is why it sits on so many wedding lists. The 3 L Popular suits a newly married couple, or a family member setting up a first home, because it is the size they will actually use daily. For corporate gifting, it fits Diwali gifts for staff, relocation gifts for employees moving to a new city, and milestone gifts, where a recognised brand, ISI certification and a 5-year warranty make a practical, trusted present.
Q: How many people does a 3 L pressure cooker serve?
It is well suited to a couple or a small family. For a single meal of dal and rice it serves about three to four people; for larger families or bulk cooking, a bigger size is more comfortable.
Q: Is the Prestige Popular 3 L induction compatible?
Yes. The triply base has a magnetic stainless steel layer, so it works on induction as well as on gas stoves.
Q: How full can I fill the cooker?
Prestige advises not filling it beyond two-thirds. For foods that expand, such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill beyond half. Overfilling can block the vent and cause spillage.
Q: When should I replace the gasket and safety plug?
Prestige recommends replacing the metallic safety plug and the gasket after one year of everyday use, or earlier if they show wear or damage.
Q: Is the cooker dishwasher safe?
No. Prestige says not to put the pressure cooker in a dishwasher. Wash it by hand with warm water, mild soap and a soft sponge.
Q: When can I open the cooker?
Wait until the cooker has cooled and the pressure has dropped completely. Never force the lid open. Once normal pressure is reached, lower the flame to just above the simmer position.
Q: What happens if I heat the cooker with nothing in it?
Do not dry heat the cooker. Prestige warns that it can fuse the safety plug and damage the base, so always add water or food before putting it on the heat.
Q: What warranty does the Prestige Popular 3 L carry?
It carries a 5-year manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects. Keep your invoice for any claim.
Covered by a 5-year manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects. Damage caused by misuse, dry heating or physical impact is not covered.
