It is a scientific fact that black surfaces absorb heat more efficiently.  Hawkins Ekobase has a hard anodised black base that is permanent and heats quickly and evenly. The double-thick heavy gauge base is ideal for light frying before pressure cooking.  The base stays flat, never bulges.  Suitable for gas, electric, ceramic and halogen cooktops.
