The dimensions seem to be a little staggered on this pot. Is it big enough to boil pasta?

I use it to boil a pound and a half of pasta and it has enough room for the pasta to expand.

Yes, it's 5-1/2 quarts and you can get the pasta in whole because the top diameter is 11 inches and the bottom diameter 8 inches. I also like it because it doesn't weigh a ton so is easier to lift to drain pasta.

Yes, I can boil a box of pasta in there. I feel like it's plenty of water to adequately boil pasta. We are a family of 4 and we use this pot for everything. I have one for sauce and one for pasta.

It would depend on how much pasta you want to cook. If 1-2 servings, yes, I've actually done that with mine. But once the water level gets too high in the bottom, you end up sort of boiling/steaming what's in the top. I suppose it wouldn't make that much of a difference, but when I like my veggies lightly steamed, I use very little water. A larger version of this would do more servings nicely I'm sure!

I think you might want something a little wider. But I don't see why it wouldnt work. I put it on four burners to get it to boil as quickly as possible. Holds heat real well though

Yes it much be a typo. The diameter of the pot is 5 inches and about 7 inches high when stacked and in the pouch. You can't go wrong with this set up. It's perfect for backpacking and heating water for dehydrated meals.

This pot is great for boiling lasagna noodles. It can handle anything you want to put in it. It's a "10"!

Can you give me the dimensions of the pot? I have been able to use a good size pot because the construction of the stove is that strong and has a good wide flame. I am almost sure you can.

The actual cooking surface is just under 10" so this unit would not be appropriate for the size pot you are wanting to use. Andy

Yes, this happens a lot. Use less water, keep the lid off, and consider a bigger pasta pot for larger servings. I have a 12 qt pot that never boils over.

I would think you could... It will take a lot for a pot this size to boil water.

I am careful with this pot. I use if for spaghetti boiling or for vegetables. For stews or higher heat foods use heavier pot.

This pot is round, and I just measured it and it's approx. 4-1/2" deep. I find that it holds an adequate amount of say, spaghetti sauce or chili for a family of 4 with no problem. Larger families may need a larger pot.

I use this to cook my pasta dishes in and it's 4 inches in depth. I love this pot/ pan.

This pot is big, about 11" across the top. I use it for Pasta and or Pasta sauce depending on how many people I am feeding. The lid fits both the frying pan and the pot. Hope this helps. Also, the dimensions are listed in the description.

Yes. It just overlaps like a large round pot would. I love mine. It is perfect for pasta and I use it to brown roasts before putting it into the oven. It has high sides so there is less splatter. Very desirable for the deep seated neat freak in me.

Yes but I wouldn't really recommend this product. I think the pasta comes out mushy or all stuck together. It's easier to wash a pot...

Yes, my husband loves to take the big spaghetti pot and cook a whole pound of pasta. It does take awhile for the water to boil but it does a great job of it. I just cooked spaghetti tonight and it was delicious. This is a great product and I highly recommend it.
