I agree with two previous responses. I am very happy with all three of the canisters!

I calculated as follows: the bucket holds 10 lbs of dehydrated potatoes. 10lbs x 16ounces per pound = 160 ounces total dehydrated potatoes in the bucket. I compared a box of dehydrated scalloped potatoes from Betty Crocker. Those packages say they are 4 servings per package. Those packages weigh 4.3 ounces each. So if I divide the 160 ounces total(10 pounds) we get 37.21 equivalent packages of dehydrated potatoes. If we reference the 37.21 packages(equivalent to 10 pounds of dehydrated potatoes) we multiply that number by 4.21 and we get a total of 156.65 servings. Hope that helps...

It depends what your cooking. Usually enough to reach 3/4 of your food. If there isn't enough liquid it won't reach the proper pressure. I cooked potatoes with the plate in and I put the liquid just above the vegetable plate mark and it was enough. I only had two medium potatoes. Hope this helps

Haven't made a meatloaf yet but my guess is you could fit 2 side-by-side @ about 1 lb each, or 1 at about 1-1/2 lbs. Since the baking pan is 8" by 8" the number of sweet potatoes depends on their length and width. I would say 3-4.

I cut the potato in smaller pieces and fit several in at a time. Make sure potatoes are cooked fork tender. I found it very easy to use and didn't require a lot of muscle.

There are 2 different blades you can use. Both are 2 1/2" X 2 1/2". That is the largest potato you can French. One cuts 5x5= 25 fries and the other cuts 6x6=36 fries out of 1 potato.

Assuming they're 8-10" across prob could get 12 if your planning on adding potatoes and corn. I did 5lbs of 15-20 ct shrimp plus 3lbs small red potatoes and 15 ears of corn cut in half and 10 big sausages That fit with room for more. I was only 1/2 way full! But dungenous crabs are bulky not sure what else your adding but may want to cook corn separately if your adding them

It depends on your potatoe size. One thing important to note, it takes a lot of force to pull it through the potatoe. Best if it is mounted to the wall.

You could keep a small number in this container but a sweater box would work better. The wider and longer the container the better off you are. They don't need to be very tall containers, say 6" -8 ". A 15"W x 24"L x 8" works great! Hope this helps! PS, Don't over water, use potato slices and other veggies that contain alot of water and replace at least once a week! Hope this helps!

Would be large enough for a side dish - like potatoes or broccoli - but not big enough for two people for a main dish.

I think it might be a little small for mashed potato packets. I use it for gravy packages and powdered soup mix, dip mixes, etc. If there is a size up from this one, you might do a little better. You could probably fit one or two larger packets of mashed potatoes, but that would probably be it.

I store 10 pounds of potatoes in one drawer, 3 pounds of onions in the next and all of my BBQ tools in the last one. The top also holds the sodas destined for the fridge when room there allows.

I think the trick is you have to turn the handle in both directions back and forth no matter what you use in it. You should be able to use one potato at a time. I have never had a problem with quantity when using mine. I have used it for cactus apples for the juice and at times put one in and mushed it fine. I have used it with tomato's and different foods. Hope this helps, just grab the handle and work it in both directions.

I store potatoes in the basket, a Costco box of Chicken Stock, a 20 pound bag of rice and misc. on it. I would say, distributed, it would probably hold 100 pounds. I have enjoyed this product very much and it gets high use in our kitchen.

I have the medium steamer. I think it holds about 3 cups of frozen vegetables. That's all I've cooked in it yet.

I store things separately, onions, shallots, and garlic can go in same bag. I have separate bag that has only potatoes, and one that has any kind of fruit.

I have no doubt it could hold the weight. The real issue would be the bulkiness of the potatoes; there isn't a huge amount of space.
