Pressure cooker capacity affects convenience, cooking time and how comfortably ingredients fit inside. The best size depends on both household size and the meals you make.
2-litre cookers
A compact option for small portions, side dishes and quick everyday cooking. It is also useful as a second cooker when one dish needs a smaller vessel.
3-litre cookers
A versatile middle size for smaller households and regular meals. It balances useful capacity with easy handling and storage.
5-litre cookers
A practical choice for larger households, batch cooking and recipes that need more room. Allow enough empty space for safe pressure cooking and always follow the manufacturer's filling guidance.
