How much volume can the chopping beaker hold? Could I make hummus out of one can of beans in it? Thanks!

In case others are as confused by 'cup' measurements as I am, here are the interior measurements : 5" wide x 4 3/8" deep (I'm guessing just over 4" of it usable once the lid is in place).

It is definitely large enough to hold a can of beans along with the additional items necessary to make hummus with room left over.

Yes. It holds a 12oz bag of whole beans. Works great and you can get rid of that bag.

Probably as a chopper or if you want to make sauces.But I wouldn't invest the money in this. I bought it and returned it. A hand blender does the job.

The actual volume is a little more than half a cup, however it works more efficiently with about a quarter cup of spices. I've also ground dried mushrooms and different dried roots etc. I'm a professional chef so I give mine a good workout. I highly recommend this grinder. It works very well, easy to clean ( I grind a little kosher salt, then just wipe it out) and powerful. I have one at work and one at home.

Plenty! It's a great size for making side dishes like black beans or brown rice (under <15 minutes!)

Oh funny! I long forgot I bought this for my son (and so did he, as I had to dig around the garden items in the shed to find it!). But I'm so happy to be of assistance here.When filled to its maximum capacity (almost spilling out), it holds nearly 900 mL or 3 and 2/3 cups or nearly a quart. Hope that helps!

Very little. Chops small amounts easily, maybe 1/4 of an onion at a time, and I have to cut the onion in small pieces even then. Not meant for large quantities.This is the small chopper.

Not sure where some of these answers come from. According to my user manual, the max capacity is 26 oz, which is just over 3 cups. The effective capacity, however, will be about 1 to 2 cups, depending on what you're trying to do. For sauces or other liquids, the 2 cup beaker which with the 9090 is probably the better bet, even if you have to make several batches. The chopper bowl is not really going to replace a full size food processor or blender but could do most jobs adequately if done in several batches. Great for small jobs such as chopping nuts or olives, making small batches such as pesto or tapenades. For a small kitchen with limited storage and counter space, this could be ideal.

If you were to fill it right to the top, it holds 1.3 litres, or 5 1/2 cups, but that is impractical. You probably would not want to make more than about a quart or a litre. I have made both natto and yoghurt in it. When I make natto, I use 1 cup of beans, which doubles to 2 cups after soaking. 2 cups of natto is so much that I usually end up freezing some of it, because it lasts me a couple of weeks.

Specs say "Capacity: 4.5L / 4.7 Quart", but my guess is the inner pot holds around 4 quarts when filled to the proper level. It'll hold enough stew for 4-6 people.

Its hard to give a full answer because it isn't clear what you are trying to do with this. It doesn't hold anything. It is a funnel. I would say the capacity is about a half-litre or a little less. This is not a milk strainer one would use in cheese-making to strain raw milk. If you are using it to strain boiled milk to remove the skin that forms, it would probably work, though the small removable strainer might clog.ANd I don't think you would need a funnel for that anyway.

It holds 2 quarts of liquid (with an inch before the top) so not much room for stirring. Mine now has a crack so we can no longer use it, but it is still beautiful (I plan to make or find another bottom).

No! 2-3/4 cup total contents when added to the need for room to boil would exceed the capacity. You would have a big mess on your hands! You'll want to consider a "regular" sized cooker.

There is a separate container for "dry" ingredients that when pulsed, allows for chopping. I tried it and although it does "chop loosely" I don't feel it fully replaces a food processor for the variety the processor allows. If you are making Pesto, either container would work just fine. The extra container for the dry pulsing is not cheap ...

I haven't tried either since I mainly got it for chopping onion and nuts. But, I would think it would be too small for meat...unless you only put in about 1/4 cup at a time. Then I think it would

The description says 24 oz. capacity......but I don't know how close to the top 24 oz. would rise in the bowl. All I know is that I can empty one (10 3/4 oz) can of soup and the equal amount of water and that's as high as I want to fill the bowl. (For neatness of no-spill and safety) Also, I can put one can of mini Raviolis (15 oz) and that's plenty enough for me. If you are using the bowl for cold foods, then it can be filled higher. But for use in the microwave, I would not over fill the bowl. I love this bowl.

I don't know how much a batch of jam is, but I make about 6 quarts of spaghetti sauce for freezing in quart size zip-lock bags, and I also make soup for freezing, usually about 4 quarts or so. It is really a perfect size, fits in a double sink for easy washing. I also have a 12 quart pot which I haven't used since purchasing this 8 quart pot, too big and doesn't fit in the sink for easy washing.
