How much would this pressue cooker be in pounds? (The 4 liter one)

I do not understand the question. Do you mean how much does it weigh in pounds or how much it costs in pounds.The liter is a metric measure as 33 fluid ounces like a liter of soda. 2lit=64oz and 4lit=128oz rounded off ,bit more.2 liter is good for small portions ,like 2 or 3 persons while 4liter is a large capacity for upto 10 or 12 persons.Hope this satisfies your question or please explain what you are trying to convey.

The liter refers to how much fluid the pressure cooker can hold. 1 liter is about 34 ounces or .264 gallons so a 4 liter would be about 1 gallon. Hope this helps :)

I have two ot the Fagor pressure cookers a smaller one and the 10 quart and the small one is great for smaller dishes but the ten quart is fantastic for large roasts and hugh corned beef and cabbage dinners. My suggestion is go for the larger unit.

I don't have time to do the arithmetic for you. A liter is only slightly more than a quart, about 1%. When you realize that manufacturers measure capacity of cookware to it's maximum, not to a practical capacity, you can realistically read liters as quarts. In other words think of a 4 liter pot as a 4 quart pot and you'll be fine.

While I have used mine with a small 4qt pressure cooker I would not recommend a larger one as I think it may be too heavy for the unit considering the weight of the cooker plus the water and jars.

I only have the skillet sized one, and have given three to relatives as presents. I love it too! It cooks about 3 times faster than my larger Fagor pressure cooker, and is absolutely perfect for cooking smaller quantities since it's just my husband and I. It's fine for entrees for four people, and soups and stews for six or so. Less water because it's smaller. I hope this helps.

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 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

We did a really big one, at least 21 lbs. But to honest, this thing is horrible. It cooks unevenly and takes forever. Save your money.

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!

Not very heavy. I am nearly 70 years old and suffer with weak hands and wrists, but never have any problems lifting or moving the pressure cooker even when filled to capacity.I can highly recommend it for use by a pensioner

I just stuck it on my kitchen scale. I came up with 67 1/2 oz which would make it about 4 lbs. It doesn't feel like 4 lbs but then, I lift pots all the time. It is pretty substantial. Not flimsy.

I don't think this pressure cooker is more than 10psi. I use a large canner with a gauge that goes up to 20psi. Highest recommended psi is 15psi. I have used 10 psi for almost everything and I find the cooking time comparable to that. Only way to know for sure, ask the manufacturer.

I would guess about 50 minutes. The few times that I have used this cooker has lead me to believe that cook times are approximately 10 minutes per pound. Just make sure to use the thermometer so you never have to guess when it is done cooking.

All of our current pressure cookers have a 15 pounds weight. The regulator will rock at 15 pounds. Please note that you only want a nice gentle rock, so you will need to adjust your stove to get the regulator rocking slowly. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact our Customer Service Department via phone at 1-800-877-0441 or e-mail us at contact1@gopresto.com. We are open M-F 8-4:15 CT.

Most electric pressure cookers are either 4 quarts....5 quarts....6 quarts or the largest I have seen is 8 quarts. A 6 quart electric pressure cooker can fix enough food for a family of 4-6. If you are someone who must cook for a larger group of people the 8 quart pressure cooker would be best. If you are making food for just 2 people only a 4 quart pressure cooker would probably work. However anything you make in an electric pressure cooker can be frozen....so we take all left overs and freeze them so we don't have to cook as often....hope this helps you some...

Dear Stevek, I have the 3.5 quart size. The booklet says for meats use 2oz. For vegetables use 4 oz. For other foods you can add more water. Mostly what I did was experiment. I noticed that foods cooked in the pressure cooker tend to cook out a lot of liquid, similar to a slow cooker. So, over time you get accustomed to adding just a small amount of water, probably less than one cup. However, when cooking dried beans that have been soaked you do need water to cover and I like to cook them for about 1 hour on the first red marker. Enjoy your Rikon! Nancy
