There are 4 cups to a quart. 4 x 8 quarts = 32 cups. This is not rocket science.

hi there. there is no 15psi. its 12 psi for the 2 setting and 7psi for the 1 setting. i then add a few minutes to the cooking time for a 15psi need. it really isnt that big a difference and you will get the same results. promise. I love my pressure cooker to death and use it for everything from whole octopus to potatoes. mmm

We purchased a 10 cup. Sometimes I cook 2-3 cups as well.Infact the 10 cup cooker is not that big if you are worried about the size. If you have guests at home very often and if you cook rice very often, go ahead and buy a 10 cup.It's certainly a good investment.

Unaware that one is available for this product. I think Instapot is the only pressure cooker with a stainless steel insert which is for a 6 qt. and they do offer a separate one for purchase.

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

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

My manual is for a 16 qt. Presto Pressure Cooker Canner - the 1075 Sealing ring is now ordered under the number 09906. This is what fits the 16qt. There must be another number for 8 qt.

Magefesa Star R 6L / 6.3 Quarts Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker I own a Magefesa Star R 6L / 6.3 pressure cooker. The capacity is 6 Liters/6.3 Quarts. (6 liters=6.3 quarts) It's a perfect size for me and is a great cooker. I like the way the lid fastens to the cooker...very safe--no fear of lid coming off and blowing food all over the kitchen!

This is smaller. There are 4 cups per quart, so the 6 qt would have 24 cups.

Carlos, The larger is approximately 8 quarts, which I think is 7.5 liters. The short one is about 4.25 quarts or 4 liters. They both are nice sizes to work with. Both are heavier than most pressure cookers, because more stainless steel is put into them then other cookers. Doug
