Can this pot be used to make chili for 5?

I would say that yes would be the answer - it is a marvelous pot to cook with!

Yes, but only small single servings. If I were making chili for 5, in this pot, I'd probably go with Frito pie. Or get a four quart pot.

I think the big pot will be able to make enough chili for 2-3 people and if you are grilling hot dogs you could probably do 3-4 dogs in the pan. You could provably boil 8+ hot dos in the big pot too. The smaller pot is better for single serve for one person. If you don't mind cooking one time over to make enough for everyone these pots and pans ares still a good deal and they are quick to clean up.

I don't see why not. I haven't needed to do this but it would work just fine, just make sure it is oiled, as the lid is constantly getting all the steam from cooking and doesn't have much of the oil left from when you originally seasoned the pot. Would be great to use for hot cakes or tortillas. Might have a little trouble with bacon grease running off the sides though, cause a fire, if you try this this try it outside first so you don't burn the house down:)

when cooking in this pot be careful with heat. Don't set on high and leave or it will burn. Let cool before cleaning. My pan had no recipes either. Get on line for your favorite recipe and make things acordingly. Good luck. I love my pan for making chili in.

Hi, I only recently got this lovely Magafesa pot. I have used it for cooking stew, but not cannning. However, I did use my old Prestige wobble top pressure cooker for canning when I made both marmalade and pepper jelly. Did you contact the Spanish manufacturer

The actual cooking surface is just under 10" so this unit would not be appropriate for the size pot you are wanting to use. Andy

Yes, you can! I have used it with high heat, too! It is the best pot I have ever had.

This pot would cook pasta just fine if cooking for no more than two people. It is a little small for a large amount of pasta. I use my pot more for pot roast, stew and soups. It is a great pot.

This is a rice cooker and only has two settings which is warm and cook. It would not work soups/stews/chilies. I would recommend a 22 quart roaster oven. I know that would work great for the examples you provided.

I have only used this pot for brewing beer...but it is made exceptionally well. Very solid bottom, distributes heat well. I boil the wort(beer) for 90 minutes. Hot sauce, broth, stews, etc.. should be fine.

Yes, I use it in a 12.5 inch pot. Works great! Also great for standing up stuffed peppers!

I am careful with this pot. I use if for spaghetti boiling or for vegetables. For stews or higher heat foods use heavier pot.

This pot can be used all purpose. We cook Hot Pot, sometimes Rice and/or soups, too.

Yes, to make white chili. Worked great! It's worked wonderfully for everything I've cooked in it...love it!

yes, you can. The quality of the pot is not as good as I expected. It is indeed thin.

I'm sure you can but I always make a full pot and bought a smaller one for five cups. The 5 cupper gives me two mugs and the 8 cupper gives me 4 mugs. I'm not sure I answered your question but I hope this helped. Also, I love these pots! They make the best tasting coffee! I also bought the metal mesh filter.

I purchased this primarily for steaming tamales but I have used it for chili and Taco soup, while the base is not as heavy as some of the stockpots I use for soup/stew it did well provided you keep the heat at a low simmer after you cook everything, if you turn up the heat too high it will scorch thick soups and stews.
