I have the Saute pan that came with my kit can I cook 1 1/4 lb of ground beef in it? Or will it be falling out the sides?
 
It will just fit. I've done that much. You'll be pushing for room to stir if you add anything and that is about the max, but I've done it MANY times for just browning. :)

Thanks... :)
 
I did the meat for the Deluxe Cheesburger Salad in there, and I thought it was going to overflow everywhere!!! But... I used the Mix-N-Chop and I didn't have any problems with it! But it was really pushing it for the little ole pan though!
