How large of a pan/pot does this fit while still being stable?

I have put small pots like 5" Dia but I did do a frying pan of about 8" and it was fine

I think a 6" pan/pot would be ok, but I wouldn't feel safe using something much bigger.

It says it for larger pans so I would think an 8" aluminum fry pan would work fine and maybe even a 10" aluminum. A 10" cast iron fry pan would be probably be pushin it as well as putting a Coleman outdoor camp oven on it might spell trouble as i don't think it's designed for that type of weight.

Enough room for approx. 10" pan and large stew pot or two 10" pans. middle burner a tight squeeze for three of anything save small pans. The size and middle burner are ideal for a griddle for pancakes bacon etc. Mine did not come with a storage bag however, that's unfortunate huh? Any help?

It has 3 ridges, which makes it adaptable to a variety of base pans. I had no problem finding 2 or 3 pots in my cupboard which fit adequately. My only frustration is that the bottom is curved, so it can't sit flat by itself on the counter after the chocolate is melted

HiI have been using it for about 3 months now, maybe a little over that, but they are good to organize your little space.cant say exactly how wide, but I am using it to put my biggest orgreenics pans, about 12" and evn my orgreenics grill, as well as a very small about 5" pan in the front.works fine. Hope this helps. But you definitely cannot put pots, if that was what you were thinking.

Like others, the right pot for me was five to six inches. It stood up well enough not to need any rocks to remain upright (though it would not hurt). Good luck!

I put an 11" deep round pot that is 12" across. It just barely fits. The one I used is made of a corrugated type material that has a little give to it.

Never actually did what you suggest but would bet it'd be OK because the weight would be evenly distributed. BUT, if the circumference overhangs the Tamer by much, the efficiency of the Tamer would be reduced, I think, and more heat would get to the pot at the edges, if you can visualize that. Sorry.So, it's kind of up to you. I've used the Tamer with big saucepans, etc,. and always have one at the stove. I don't think the Tamer will be hurt by what you suggest, but wonder if the stuff in the pot will burn at the edges??

Praj; I have not put anything that big on mine. I would wonder about the weight aspect. I have used large fry pans and cast iron but nothing that big. this cooktop is great so give it a try .... I would .....

From Bottom up:(13.5",9.5",8.5",7"and 5") All my cast iron Dutch oven pots and skillets fit nicely. Plus there is room for other cast iron items. I was surprised that I could get so much on and it doesn't look sloppy.

The inside bottom measures 17 1/8 inches, according to my tape measure. The top measures slightly over 21 inches. So your pot should be less than 17 inches at the bottom in order to fit well.

Pan stays off bottom of outer pan by about 1.5 inches. I use it to steam veggies all the time.

The stove is quite stable. No problem with pots and skillets. I've even used 4 gallon pots without problem, so a dutch oven should be fine.

Most definitly. The pot I use has a smaller diameter and has no trouble staying on the stove.

It is 3 3/8" in diameter, so it will fit any pot larger than that. Noisy though - not just when the pot is boiling - for a couple of minutes leading up to the actual boil it clatters and makes a racket as bubbles form under it and then lift it slightly before escaping.

Go a minimum of 18". I would put the largest pot you have on the cooktop and make sure you have adequate clearance to see in & stir

This isn't really an answer, but I just bought an 8" pan top from Farberware that doesn't fit this pan: the inside dimension of both is 7 3/4", but the top is millimeters too large, plus the way the sides of the pan are flanged inward, it will take a special top for a good fit. I should have known this. the prior suggestion about finding a 'mix&match;' store seems the best solution.

It is about 10-12 inches. For large pots only possibly for professional cooking
