what is the capacity of the container part? Meaning, how many cups would it hold?

Easily a cupYou have to be careful not to over load as the action of pressing the potatoes can be difficult if handle can'tWork as designed. It goes quickly in any event. Very strong material. You can do a lot of potatoes very fast using thisIt really is not about how much it holds as how fast and easy it is. Requires some arm strength but not too much.Leverage is everything.

It measures 4 1/2 inches across & is 3 1/4 inches deep. I'm not sure exactly how many cups it holds (I wouldn't think more than 2) but I can put 2-3 big scoops of cooked potato in at a time (depending how much upper body strength I have at the moment!). This ricer is well-made & dishwasher friendly--I love it!!!

I do not know but I also would not recommend this item as it broke on my very first use and I had a small amount in it.

It's about a scant 3 cups. I put that measurement of dried beans in it once to see.

About 3 cups MAXIMUM useable space, meaning that full to the brim it holds OVER 3 cups (I measured with dry noodles). It's probably most effective at "ricing" when full of no more than 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 C, or excess might squeeze out the sides/top. But I've used it as a "press" loosely packed to the brim

GREAT Question!! So I took mine out and measured it! The capacity to the bottom of the insert is slightly less than 11 cups....

I just filled the bottom part of the tagine up to the rim where the lid rests and it will hold 3 cups. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I want to say its a ten cup. I will say that I never got to use it because mine leaked from the water level window and base so I returned it and now dont remember the exact cup capacity.

My only guess is that it will hold four and one half quarts which rounds up to five quarts capacity. I hope this helps you. By the way, the container is shy of 8" by 8".

I just poured the full container of coffee into my measuring cup and it measured almost 4 cups. Our coffee cups must be large because we only get 2 or 3 cups of coffee out of it.

I honestly can't answer that, but it looks to be about 12 cups. Hope this helps.

It holds 142 ounces and since 8 ounces = 1 cup then it stands to reason that this container would hold 17.75 cups. I can usually fit almost three boxes of cereal in one of these if that helps.

It is a good sized container....I would say close to one cup, maybe 3/4 cup.

The inside of the cup is about 1 inch shorter than the outside and about 1/4 inch smaller in diameter. I would guess that the inside of the cup would hold about 2 regular cups of coffee.

Hi Mary each container is approximately 13 inches long x 7 inches wide and 3 inches deep. Holds 8 cups when filled to the top but manual said do not fill more than 2/3. I filled to the top though. Good for small gatherings but not a large crowd.

It can hold 8 oz. or 1 cup. Ideally though, it is really best to put a plastic cup of yogurt in the container, as opposed to liquid directly. Hope that helps.

There are six containers that start out pretty large and go down to quite small. I would estimate the largest one to be able to hold about 8-10 cups and then the smallest one maybe 1/2 to 1 cup. I might be way off, but just to give you an idea of the size range.

It is 8 inches across with an interior measurement of 6.5 inches across. It's 4.5 inches tall and 26 inches around. I would say capacity of 3 cups or so.

I know it holds 16oz. that's all I make at a time. but it will hold more.maybe up to 4 cups with no over flows.

It holds about 2 cups, its the size of a soup bowl. It was larger than I expected.

It holds just over 5 cups of water when full. Don't fill it completely to the top, however, since it could bubble over when boiling.
