Is 5-liters the biggest size among stainless steel pressure pans?

I am not sure whether you ask about the product in amazon or in general. In prestige model though, we have a 10-litre and that's the max i guess. Please visit http://prestigesmartkitchen.com/home/search?q=pressure+cooker

They come in 7 litres, 8 litres sizes and may be even bigger. Those sizes, for sure I saw, when I visited India.

Hello, B. Hetland. The size pressure cooker you choose should depend on how you intend using it. When I purchased my first pressure cooker I also was looking at the 6 & 8 qt. After researching, I decided on the 8qt, and was very pleased with the decision. You see, the qt capacity is to the brim of the pressure pan. However, it should not be filled past 2/3 full--and with some foods, not past 1/2 full, this means that in an 8qt cooker, the most you can put into it will be less than 6 quarts for the 2/3 full and, and for the 1/2 full rule, only 4 qts. I like to cook in large batches, so about 6 months ago I decided to also get a 10qt [Fagor]. Pressure cookers are extremely versatile appliances. In addition to cooking under pressure, they can also be used as regular saucepans, replacing other cookware. If you really get into using it frequently, and for its many applications, the larger 8qt size will give you more options, because it will accomodate a greater variety of inserts. Here is one that I have found extremely useful: Wolfgang Puck Stainless Steel Dessert Maker Insert. This is also available brand new at eBay for a very reasonable price. I understand your concern for space limitations, and while the 8qt does have a larger footprint, I think you will be happy with that choice in the long run. I too have limited space in my kitchen, I managed to make room for 3 pressure cookers [6, 8 & 10 qt]. Because these are the pans I use most often, one is always "on display" on the cooktop. I also have a 4qt Presto, which I recently put with our camping gear. Because you are new to pressure cooking, you will probably be looking for useful information on how to get the most from your new pressure cooker. I recommend this cookbook: Miss Vickie's Big Book of Pressure Cooker Recipes The author also has a website with discussion forums www.missvickie.com

This is a really good question. There are two sizes offered on the Amazon web site. You definitely want the one described as "5 quart". The other one, which is deceptively described as "large" in the description is too small to be of any use except washing a small bunch of basil leaves. I made the mistake of ordering the "large" one, was shocked to see how small it was and returned it. I then re-ordered the "5 quart" model which is much more expensive, but is a useful and well-made product.

Well this is just a guess, but maybe the 4L is 4 liters? Not sure how much this pan holds in liters, but it does make a very nice angel food cake from the box. I'm imagine that if you make the angel food cake from scratch, this pan would be a little more full that the box mix. You can also contact Wilton. They have a web site... Good Luck:)

This was a gift to our daughter so I don't have it here at our house but it's a 6 quart and not sure how many liters that is. I know it's good size and a very good stainless steel pot. Hope this helps. I would buy it again if the need arose.

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.

I don't know - when I saw that the size was not as advertised I returned it immediately. It is NOT a 28 inch pan.

The bottom of my Magefesa Practika Plus pressure cooker is stamped "3.2L/3.3Qt." However, the Maximum Fill Line inside the pot is less. I took an empty 1 liter soda bottle and filled it with water to the maximum fill line. The result was using approximately 2.25 bottles to reach that line, so the capacity, if using under pressure, is somewhere between 2.25 and 2.33 liters. Just right for two people! But if you are using large cuts of meat, you may want to get the 6Qt. model. I have that one too and it is great for one pot dinners.

I believe that all vented pressure cookers have a standard size gauge fitting. The safe thing is to email the company for the facts rather than my guesses.

It has a capacity of 5 liters, which is equal to 1.5 gallons or 6 quarts. The last digit in the Model number "BT900XL5" indicates this is a 5-litre cooker.

Sorry...we have the 1.5 quart All-Clad 4201.5 stainless steel pot. We do not have the 2 quart size.

They used the same pictures as the 10.5" version because it looks identical to the 12.5" pan. The pan you receive should be the 12.5" model if it says so in the description. The 10.5" pan can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/T-fal-C8390564-Performance-Stainless-10-5-Inch/dp/B002HWRUF2/ref=pd_cart_recs2

The two biggest lids are interchangeable. The others are not. You need to use some kind of oil. I don't use the spray. We mostly use olive and vegetable oil. To avoid sticking with stainless, you mostly need to use the oil and heat it up first.

I only have the 2.5 liter deep fry pan. It is totally awesome. From the dimension listed on amazon the fry pan is 6.2" deep but that must include the top and bottom as mine is ~ 4.5" deep in the inside. I cook for 2 and have always had problems keeping my volumes low. This pan allows me to brown meat or veg right in the pan and make soup that equals ~ 3 to 4 good portions. It is also my first pressure cooker and although I may someday get a big one, this excellent for now.

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

I use a 1 liter stainless pot and it fit fine with no issue. I'd say my pot is 6 -8 inches diameter at the bottom.
