What you’ll need

  • Soft scrub pad or sponge
  • Mild dishwashing soap or detergent

Step‑by‑step

  1. Add soap to pad

    Dab your soft scrub pad with a few drops of dishwashing soap.
  2. Gently scrub

    Rub the entire inside (and outside, if needed) until all food residue is gone.
  3. Rinse thoroughly

    Wash off all soap and loosened food particles under running water.
  4. Dry completely

    Use a soft cloth to dry the cooker fully—inside and out—to avoid water marks.

Quick Daily Maintenance Tips

  • Gasket care: Remove, wash, and dry the gasket after each use before reassembling.
  • Vent cleaning: Always ensure the vent pipe is clear—check and wash out any food particles.
  • Remove whistle when storing: Store the whistle separately; this avoids musty smells.
  • Leave it uncovered: Do not store with the lid fully closed—air circulation keeps it fresh.

Why It Matters

Taking good care of your Zira Triply Pressure Cooker ensures it stays in top shape for years to come. Unlike regular cookers, triply stainless steel offers better heat distribution, is more durable, and looks great in your kitchen. But like any tool, it performs best when maintained with care.

Regular cleaning also ensures hygiene and prevents unwanted smells or stains. A well-maintained pressure cooker is not just a cooking tool—it becomes a reliable companion for all your home-cooked meals, whether it's a quick dal or a slow-cooked biryani.

If you’ve invested in a high-quality cooker from Zira, it deserves the same level of attention and care as any premium kitchen essential. Happy cooking!
