What is the maximum capacity for cooking in a Magefesa Star R 10-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker
1634784
To be absolutely safe we never use more than 8 quarts (produce/meats + liquid) when used as a pressure cooker. As a pressure fryer, it'll take 3.5 quarts of oil/shortning/lard and a large cut-up frying chicken.

I did not use a pressure cooker, but I think it would be OK for a small to medium pressure cooker, let's say 3-5 quarts. It is quite powerful.

Capacity is higher but it is common seance that you can not fill up to the neck and cook it.. it needs room to cook the food and create pressure. So, Please apply the common seance, 1 qt will be cooked in 2 qt capacity is true but pressure cooker is 2 qt and you can pressure cook up to 1.25 qt in my opinion.

This doesn't directly answer your question, but others here have done that. I just spent 10-15 minutes looking for a stainless steel 8 qt insert pot for a pressure cooker and couldn't find one.Having said that - I'm wondering, if you're really wanting one, why you couldn't just use one of the 2 6-qt pots available on Amazon? You'd have to cook less, but you'd at least be using stainless steel. Of course, if you're going that route, make sure the pot fits within your cooker (duh!)! lol

There is only my husband and myself. I have cooked smaller portions of stew in this. The cast iron maintains the temperature so you can have less product inside, and is holds a temperature without fear of burning. A five quart would probably suit you well but this is great if you ever want to make a big pot roast, entertain, or make extra to put aside. I guess the question is - why too large? A shortage of storage space would be my only reason to scale down.

The Nesco site says that high is 10 psi, which is higher than Cuisinart claims for their equivalent model, but not as high as other electric pressure cookers from Nesco and others go. They claim low is 5 psi.High on "normal" stove-top pressure cookers is usually 15 psi. So some recipe times may need to be extended, but the temperature still gets high enough to get all those good pressure cooker results. Though I love the convenience, I do wish that electric pressure cookers went higher.

I am not sure.... It really isnt a pressure cooker. I tried to cook a piece of meat in it and it was worse than . It was more like a rock.... I use it for veggies and warm ups

No, most cook top pressure cookers reach 15lb/inch squared. This cooker is programmed to shut off the cooking element when the temperature would potentially create a pressure of 12.7lb/inch squared. But and this is a big but, this cooker will not overuse the cooking energy, expel nutrients as steam and does not require constant monitoring. It is also very quiet and shuts off cooking automatically and maintains a warm heating. It is not perfect and is light duty but very handy.

I've cooked whole chickens, beef and pork roasts in the pressure cooker all weighing over 3 lbs. Just make sure it doesn't fill the pan more than 2/3 full to allow it to steam. I recently cooked a turkey breast weighing over 5 lbs., however I did have to remove the backbone before I could fit it in the pressure cooker. Since I slow cooked the turkey breast instead of pressure cooking it, I didn't have to worry about how full it was. I came out juicy and tender. Soo good!

based on the answer to the previous question about what is the max KPA (kilopascals), I expect the answer to this question is "no." Someone said the max pressure is 88 KPA, which roughly translates to 12.75 psi. It's a shame because they are so convenient, but I'm not aware of any electric pressure cookers that go to 15 psi.

At 9-3/4 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep, this 2-1/2-liter (2.65-quart) cooker resembles a deep frying pan. A waffle pattern on the bottom releases food quickly after browning. Cleanup is a bit involved: hand wash the cooker, rubber gasket, and lid with a mild detergent; lightly oil the gasket. Minor cleaning inconvenience, however, should not overshadow the major convenience of pressure cooking. Accompanying the cooker is a 92-page pressure-cooking recipe booklet. --Fred Brack

good luck! cannot be found. tried many sources, no success. I bought this pressure cooker, thinking it would last. Did not. Very expensive. And because I did not buy it from QVC, they would not help me. Sorry.

Our pressure cooker is a 15.5 Qt size. I think that gauge is a standard size that fits most models.
