Rashko Baba works as a pressure cooker: an airtight lid creates pressure that speeds up cooking. A convenient choice both at home and over an open fire.

Why Rashko Baba

• Rashko Baba is one of the best-known and long-established Afghan cooker manufacturers (an original brand with a solid reputation).

Main idea: 4-in-1 (one pot – multiple functions)

• Pressure cooker: close the lid tightly and cook on medium heat.
• Pot: soups and compote – use without the lid.
• Pan: preheat, add oil and fry on high heat (lid if needed).
• Kazan mode: roast without water for a “seared meat/vegetables” effect (lid optional).

1) Capacity: “actual” vs “working” volume

• IMPORTANT: the stated size is often based on the pot’s outer volume (displaced liquid), so the inner volume is smaller.
• The working volume (2/3) is mandatory for safety – fill only up to 2/3 to leave space for steam.
• Do not overload the pot so pressure cooking stays safe and stable.

2) Choosing capacity (by number of people)

• 5 L: usually for 2-3 people.
• 8-12 L: a universal family option, about 4-10 people.
• 15-20 L: for bigger groups and outdoor cooking.

3) Type (appearance and practical notes)

• Black: classic option, ideal for open fire. Often taller and narrower, easier to maintain and wash.
• Two-tone: brown coating on top with a polished bottom. Often lower and wider, looks more presentable but needs more careful care.
• The differences are mostly external: choose the type you like visually and find more convenient.
