✗ Cons
- Bakelite handles rather than the rubberized grip on Asahi's own 7L
- Induction compatibility is not stated for this model, unlike the PR-71
- 11L is a heavy pot to lift and awkward to store in a small kitchen
- Plain stainless base, so it needs a moderate flame to avoid scorching
The Asahi PR-11 is our Best Big-Batch Stainless pick: 11L, five named safety features including self-cleaning pressure relief valves, for around ₱4,700 as of August 12, 2026.
What makes the valves worth mentioning?
They target the exact way these pots go wrong.
The classic stovetop pressure cooker failure is not a dramatic one. It is a vent slowly clogging with starch or fat until pressure stops escaping the way it should. Asahi lists self-cleaning pressure relief valves on this model, which is a direct answer to that problem rather than a marketing line.
With that come a pressure regulator, an auto-lock, a safety window and an anti-blockage vent. Five in total, one fewer than the Imarflex.
Is 11L the right size for you?
Only if you cook for a crowd, and it is worth being blunt about that.
You fill a pressure cooker to two thirds, so 11L is around 7L of usable space. That is a lot of bulalo. It is also heavier to lift, slower to come up to pressure, and harder to store than a 7L pot.
Buy it for handaan and batch cooking. For everyday meals for four, Asahi’s own PR-71 is the better pot.
What is the catch?
Induction is not stated. Asahi lists the PR-71 as induction ready but does not say the same for the PR-11. Stainless is usually magnetic, so it may well work, but we will not assert what the brand has not published. Ask first if you cook on induction.
The handles are also a small step down: plain Bakelite here against the rubberized sure-grip on the 7L, on a heavier pot.
Is it sulit?
Around ₱4,700 as of August 12, 2026, which works out to roughly ₱430 per liter, the cheapest per liter in this ranking. Check the latest price on Shopee.
For sheer capacity per peso, nothing here beats it. Against the Imarflex 11L at around ₱5,700, you save real money and give up one safety feature and confirmed induction support.
Who should buy it
Buy this if you cook big batches on gas and want the most capacity per peso from a Philippine brand. It is the right choice for large households, handaan cooks and anyone who batch-cooks to freeze. On induction, buy the Imarflex 11L instead.

Alternatives to consider
Need confirmed induction support at 11L? The Imarflex QGP-3711 11L states induction, gas, electric and halogen, with six safety features. Cooking for fewer people? The Asahi PR-71 7L is our Best Value pick with better handles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are self-cleaning pressure relief valves?
Valves designed to clear their own residue instead of gumming up. That targets the single most common failure on a stovetop pressure cooker: a vent clogged with starch or fat, which stops pressure escaping the way it should. Asahi naming this feature is a good sign about where they focused.
Does the PR-11 work on induction?
Asahi does not state it for this model, only for its 7L PR-71. Stainless is usually magnetic, so it may well work, but we will not assert a spec the brand has not published. If you cook on induction, ask Asahi or buy the PR-71 or the Imarflex 11L instead.
Is 11L worth it over 7L?
Only if you regularly cook for a crowd. You fill to two thirds, so 11L is about 7L usable, which is genuinely a lot of bulalo. It is also heavier to lift, slower to come up to pressure, and harder to store. Buy it for handaan and batch cooking, not for everyday meals for four.
Why Bakelite handles instead of the rubberized ones?
Asahi puts its sure-grip rubberized handle on the 7L PR-71 and plain Bakelite on this one, which is a small step down on a heavier pot. Bakelite insulates well, but it is more slippery with wet hands. Use dry mitts with a full 11L pot regardless.
