How much can you cook with one can?

I'm guessing you're asking how long a canister will last? It depends, of course, on how high you keep your flame. I found that it EATS gas if I try to heat a normal weight spaghetti pot full of water. I now make sure that I heat water such as that in a camping (light weight) pot. With "regular cooking", a canister will last me between two and three weeks at home. Some nights I don't use it at all. Other nights I use it for between a half hour and an hour. One canister definitely lasts me through a three-day camping trip (but I always bring an extra one in reserve). Note that you can't use a wide pot or fry pan on most of the portable stoves. That's because it would overhang the canister and overheat it. You can imagine the result.

First, I have several stoves ranging from 10k to 14k BTUs. It depends on several factors:How hot (BTUs) does your stove run? How high do you set the burner?The average stove range is between 8,000 & 14,000 BTUs. A 14k unit will use up the gas quicker. I get over 2 hrs. burn time with a 10k unit at the highest setting. Remember butane burns hotter than natural gas or propane. I hope I have answered your questions.

Have not really timed it, but at about one hour if at full blast and weather is above 50 degrees. Last week one can lasted me 3 days -- that included heating water for at least 10 cups of coffee. One breakfast of bacon and eggs. Soups for lunch. Dinners on wood fire. Still have some gas left in can. Important -- you have to disconnect fuel can after each use or gas will leak out. Since car camping always take several cans of fuel - just in case. Sorry could not be of more help.

Yes, you can cook a smaller amount. The portion doesn't matter. It will still come out just as good.

With this unit. I would say you can cook as small as you would like. Usually I cook for my husband & I. However, we do leftovers.

I live in Texas, and I would use 350 for 1hr 30 minutes. As every oven is different and cooks according to where your located and the altitude.

Yes it is plenty for one person. When I am by myself, I can cook a whole meal in it. I love mine!

No, you don't have to use it all at once. And you CAN use one can over the course of multiple nights. I go through ONE butane canister every few weeks sometimes...assuming that I am outside for 1 or 2 hours a time. Short answer, you CAN turn it on and off to save the butane.

Bought two 56 oz. cans years ago (5-6, more?), kept in pantry that sometimes gets pretty warm in the Summer. Down to last 5-6 oz. now and still tastes/cooks great!

I used 1 can(a little over 10 oz.) for the first treatment and 8 oz. per oil change(5 1/2 qt's. oil) after the first oil change. Every oil change gets 8 oz. for the extra Moly it gives the oil.

You will need at least one more pan if you want to cook them all in one batch. The batch can cook quickly because of it's diminutive size.

It comes with directions as to how many to roast at one time, how and what temp.

Depends on the size. Small cans will burn 45 min. Large ones will burn up to 2 1/2 hours.

I have the large one and you can cook any amount in It. I like to cook a lot and freeze the extra.

I've never used a whole canister in one stretch but I think you can get about 45 mins from one of the butane canisters. I guess that would also vary a bit depending on how high you had the burner turned up.

I don't know the exact amount. While it was a smaller than average can, it was plenty for the job. I still have most of the can leftover....enough to redo it, if necessary.

Here in Florida we grill quite often and I use one burner as often as I can. Even so, I can generally get through a calendar year on no more than a tank and maybe an additional half.

naturally, depends on size...though, i have cooked a four at a time and worked great.

I wouldn't; the heat-up and cool-down times required for proper canning could not be achieved with a regular pressure cooker. But it depends on who you ask, don't take a chance with the family's safety. Spend a little more and get the All-American 15-1/2-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner. You'll make up the cost as you'll be canning your own food.
