The Futura Hard Anodised Handi (Saucepan) is a modern version of the traditional Indian cooking utensil used for flavourful, less-water cooking. Its lid holds water on the top and, on its underneath surface, condenses steam that rises from the food simmering in the Handi. The reverse taper of the sloping sides of the Handi permits water droplets to fall directly on to the food inside the Handi - thus making delicious, tender and moist food. The Handi (Saucepan) comes in two versions: with one long and one short handle; and with two short handles. The beautiful, durable black finish given by 60 microns thick hard anodising has two benefits. It makes pan absorb heat faster, making it more energy-efficient. The pan stays looking new for years. It is recommended for use on gas stoves. A beautiful combination of form and function, Futura is the only pressure cooker in the world to have been displayed by The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
