What is being written is what the Google cannot give any information and you do not find anywhere! Surprised? You may cross check! We all use pressure cookers. Among the popular brands of India, PRESTIGE is one. I visited the website of prestige (TTKPRESTIGE.COM) to see the history or the beginnings of it. I did not find any!
In the year 1975, the name PRESTIGE did not exist. The present PRESTIGE was then known as PREETT, was called as the Preett pressure cookers. The tag line of PREETT was: “Every PREETT pressure cooker lasts a life time!” I request the readers not to confuse PREETT with Preethi cookers. At that time Preethi was not even born!
My mother had purchased a PREETT pressure cooker in October, 1975. What you see in the picture is the guarantee card. At that time PREETT was in the process of changing the name to PRESTIGE. So, my mother had ended up buying PREETT // PRESTIGE (Senior) pressure cooker!
What is important to understand is that neither my mother nor the pressure cooker she had purchased lasted a lifetime. I know not what had happened to her cooker, I could not find it. All I am left with is a Guarantee that it lasts a life time was found when searching the old documents in the ancestral home!
I am sure, my mother must have been very happy to cook all those delicious foods I tasted growing up in that pressure cooker. Though the sadness of not finding that cooker persists probably for this residue life, I am much contended to have found this guarantee card. Thank you PREETT for being a part of my mother’s life!
