I would say not, makes them gummy, too much power, at least that is my experience

We received this in non-working condition. We tried to contact Waring customer service to help resolve but they didn't return our emails. Amazon was great and took it right back. We ended up getting the Cuisinart CSB-75BC Smart Stick, which is excellent but probably not heavy duty enough for a 16 quart pot of potatoes. We use the kitchen aid. Hope this helps.....

This is one isn't telling me the size but if it's the same one I have then yes. I've done it and it's fast.

Not sure what the question really is ? I have no reason to think there is anything wrong with the purity of product. What we have bought has always been great tasting and easy to prepare. You wont find better tasting mashed potatoes.

I use my Kitchen-aid for mashed potatoes all the time. They come out excellent!

Works great on potatoes, did 40 pounds for a funeral dinner and they were great. There are some little shreds that happen but it just made the roaster of scalloped potatoes better. Yummo

I believe that it would work. Mine heats up very fast even on a low setting. Yea, if you have your 16 quart filled to the top with liquid, it may take a few minutes but I believe it will do you just fine

I have not tried potatoes but my first thought would be no. I use mine for Apple sauce mostly. A good immersion blender will make great mashed

Haven't made mashed potatoes in it so I can't say for sure. But I'll wager a guess: more than you can eat in one sitting!

this pot might fit I use in my 6qt pressure cooker.I did look at a power cooker pot the one sold on the info commercial and it is a little squatty .So for that reason,it may not.Hate to be so wishy washey but just not real sure,because of the squatty size of the power cooker.You can always use it as a mixing bowl.I use it to mix my cookie dough,and cake mix.

I hope that you poke a few holes in your spuds! You're right, it does make the best baked potatoes. Have you tried baking yams in there? They need a few holes too, so that they don't explode.

I have used this on potatoes and it worked great. The only issue is the size and shape of the potatoes. If they are abnormally shaped, very small or very large, it won't work. I had a very large potato that almost didn't fit and one that was a bit crazy shaped that didn't work.

I don't think so, very thin metal like soup can it works well. 16 gauge would be thicker.

They're rounded so mashing potatoes with a masher wouldn't be particularly easy, although the bowl would probably be OK. I always drain my potatoes and then mash them still in the pot.

You could use this for any of your recipes, seeing that it's misleading.... it's only got a 6 quart capacity! I just received mine, and measured it. Yep, only 6 quarts will fit in it.

hi, i use my all clad 6 quart stock for boiling pasta and boiling potatoes. i am sure this pot would work just fine for braising.

I don't know. I have used mine only for milling potatoes for use in gnocchi.Joe Hill

i use the smaller size quite regularly - to boil potatoes for mash and when i am stewing meat...it's really handy

I think it might be a little small for mashed potato packets. I use it for gravy packages and powdered soup mix, dip mixes, etc. If there is a size up from this one, you might do a little better. You could probably fit one or two larger packets of mashed potatoes, but that would probably be it.
