Yes, 4 pound roast with potatoes, carrots and onions in 2 hours flat.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.you can easily do a whole chicken, we did a huge soup and had to cut the chicken up in pieces that one time, but it will do a whole chicken with no problems. you do want to watch your volume to make sure you dont overfill and then clog the steam vents as the ingredients expand with heat
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I gave this as a gift to a friend, and she has cooked a 4 lb. roast in it, no problem.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, I made a 4 lb roast, a 5 lb ham, a family pack of country style ribs, and all have been fantastic. If the meat is too large, you can cut it in smaller pieces and cook it that way in the pot. I haven't tried a whole chicken although, it would be so tender it would fall part too easily.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You are able to cook a whole chicken inside. I've cooked a 3+ lb roast in it and I've cooked 2 racks of ribs at the same time. Look on YouTube for recipes and you'll get the idea.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.6 quarts is the maximum "volume" of the liner. The maximum amount for pressure cooking is 4 quarts. I should have bought the 8 quart, but I am very happy w/ the performance of this multi cooker.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The kettle's max volume is 6 qts. For safety reasons, it should only be filled 2/3; 4 qts. Had I known this before buying, I would have bought the 8 qt. model. I have cooked a 5 lb. "roaster" chicken in 30 minutes, to be cooled and boned for salad. Don't expect a crispy skin. I also did a 4 lb. corned beef flat, and a 4 lb. sauerbraten. 5 qt. batches of chili, stew, or anything "slow cooked" had no problem w/ boiling over or spattering out the vent. I am satisfied w/ the multi cookers performance, I wish they made a 10 or 12 qt. model...
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The liner is dual listed in cups (up to 12 cups) and liters (up to 4). 4 cups make a quart, and a liter is a bit larger than a quart, so the English markings are inaccurate. Basically, don't go by the markings for measuring volume. Just don't fill beyond the 4L line. As others have said, the food will expand as it cooks.
