The key rule is <strong>do not fill above 2\/3<\/strong>, so the valves work properly and do not get clogged. This is why the \u201cnominal capacity\u201d and the \u201cusable capacity\u201d are different.\r\n  <\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h3>1) Usable capacity (the 2\/3 rule)<\/h3>\r\n  <ul>\r\n    <li>The usable capacity is about <strong>2\/3 of the stated volume<\/strong>.<\/li>\r\n    <li>Example: in a <strong>10 L<\/strong> pot you typically cook around <strong>6-7 L<\/strong> of food.<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>Important:<\/strong> do not fill above 2\/3, otherwise the valves can get clogged.<\/li>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n\r\n  <h3>2) Choosing capacity (by number of people)<\/h3>\r\n  <ul>\r\n    <li><strong>5 L<\/strong>: usually for <strong>2-3 people<\/strong>.<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>8-12 L<\/strong>: a universal option for a family, about <strong>4-10 people<\/strong>.<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>15-20 L<\/strong>: for bigger groups and outdoor cooking.<\/li>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n\r\n  <h3>3) Type (appearance and practical notes)<\/h3>\r\n  <ul>\r\n    <li><strong>Black<\/strong>: classic option, great for open fire. Often taller and narrower, easier to clean and maintain.<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>Two-tone<\/strong>: brown coating on top with a polished bottom. Often lower and wider, looks more presentable but needs more careful care.<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>The differences are mostly external<\/strong>, choose the type you like visually and find more convenient.<\/li>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n\r\n  <h3>4) Consumables and maintenance<\/h3>\r\n  <ul>\r\n    <li>The main consumable parts are the <strong>gasket<\/strong> and the <strong>valves<\/strong>.<\/li>\r\n    <li>Check regularly that the valves are clean and move freely.<\/li>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n\r\n  <h3>5) Heat sources<\/h3>\r\n  <ul>\r\n    <li>Works on most heat sources <strong>except induction<\/strong>.<\/li>\r\n    <li>For induction, use an <strong>adapter plate<\/strong>.<\/li>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n<\/details>","link":"https:\/\/armass.eu\/en\/category\/kazans-and-cauldrons\/afghan-kazans\/","name":"Afghan Kazans","slug":"afghan-kazans","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":242,"meta":[],"menu_order":13,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/armass.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/245","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/armass.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/armass.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/armass.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/242"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/armass.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
