Afghan pressure cooker CS30 (30L)

The CS30 30 L Afghan pressure cauldron is a large-capacity pressure cooking vessel designed for meat, pilaf, soups, stews, vegetables and outdoor cooking.

Its substantial aluminium body, sealed lid, silicone gasket and pressure-release system allow large quantities of food to be cooked efficiently in a closed environment.

🔒 How it works

Once the lid is properly sealed:

💨 steam builds inside;
🔥 pressure increases;
🌡️ cooking temperature rises;
🥩 meat and other ingredients cook faster;
💧 moisture remains inside the vessel.

This makes the cauldron particularly useful for meat, legumes and long-cooking dishes.

🛡️ Aluminium construction

The aluminium body provides:

✔ fast heating;
✔ good heat distribution;
✔ lower weight than comparable cast iron cookware;
✔ practical use for both home and outdoor cooking.

📏 Construction

• Nominal capacity: 30 L
• Approx. wall thickness: 8–12 mm
• Approx. dimensions: 44.5 × 44.5 × 38 cm

⚠️ Do not fill completely

The full 30 L capacity should not be treated as the recommended working fill level.

For pressure cooking, leave sufficient space for steam.

A practical guideline is approximately:

2/3 food and liquid + 1/3 free space.

Use an even lower fill level for foods that expand or foam during cooking.
