Hi Gloria - How long is 2 whistles? We have a 30 year old Prestige pressure cooker - when the steam starts we add a weight to the nozzle, lower the heat and start timing eg.10 mins for potatoes

Hi..
The whole process in the cooker should take around 10-12 minutes ..We too have Hawkins cooker the old model without the whistle in that cooker it takes about 8-9 minutes to come.ujder full cooking pressure and there after we fitter cooker the gavar/cluster beans for another 2-3 minutes ..So in total I would say 12 minutes ..Thanks ..
