What should I know before choosing my multi cooker ?

How to choose the perfect capacity for your needs?

The capacity of the cooking pot is an important criteria to think about when choosing a multi cooker. Usually, the capacity is provided in Liters (L) and tends to take into account the total capacity of the pot.
The rule is quite simple, the more portions of food you would like to prepare, the larger the pot should be. It also depends on the number of guests you have around the table.
Do you feed a big family? Are you used to organizing dinner parties or brunches? Then you should opt for the biggest capacities of 5L or above.
On the other hand, are you mostly just cooking for yourself or for a couple? Do you have smaller needs? Low capacities such as 3L or 4L would therefore suit you perfectly.
In order for you to pick the right capacity for your needs, we have prepared the following frame of reference:
Total Capacity - Useful Capacity - Number of guests

  • 3L - 2.0L - 1-3 guests
  • 4L - 2.6L - 3-4 guests
  • 5L - 3.3L - 4-5 guests
  • 6L - 4.0L - 5-6 guests
  • 7,5L - 5L - 6-8 guests
Have you found the right capacity pot ? Let’s move on, then.
