Can this pot be confirmed to actually hold 20 quarts? (Unlike some of the others listed, it seems...)

It sure seems like 20 qts. I really like the pot and it sure is a lot of soup.

I have not taken an actual measurement of this, but can say that it is pretty close if not exactly 20. I cooked down turkey broth and ended up canning 13 quarts and I think that by the time the stock cooked down, it was a little over half of the pot in volume. Otherwise, I can say that I have been very pleased with it. It is a good, heavy pot.

The pot holds exactly six quarts and not a drop more... For large amounts I cook with five quarts in mind and you for sure follow recommended amount when use use the pressure cooker setting... The pot cooks evenly and cleans up easily. It is great for searing and sauting.

There is only my husband and myself. I have cooked smaller portions of stew in this. The cast iron maintains the temperature so you can have less product inside, and is holds a temperature without fear of burning. A five quart would probably suit you well but this is great if you ever want to make a big pot roast, entertain, or make extra to put aside. I guess the question is - why too large? A shortage of storage space would be my only reason to scale down.

We do not have an 8 qt pot, ours' is a 20 qt; so I'm sorry I can not answer the question.

I'll go with what the other user posted. to me its big enough pot to do 8 quarts of whatever I am cooking. Its a beautiful pot and very sturdy, after all its a Commercial grade and it cleans up awesome. Works well on my PIC

Hi there, I believe the large pot fits 6 quarts and the smaller pot fits 4. Hope this helps, cheers!

The pot holds about 4 cups (1 quart). The lid holds approx 1 3/4 cups if it is turned upside down and used as a small pot.

The XTS pot has a 1 liter capacity. The hard anodized cup, a different product, has markings for 20 ounces.

Stephanie, I used a 4 cup glass measuring container and poured the water into the scanpan. There was about 1/4 inch left to the top. When I first typed my answer and sent it, it was late and I mis-typed in 5 quarts. I hope this helps. You might google scanpan USA and call them and ask for the amount it will hold. But to repeat my earlier statement, you just can't go wrong by buying this dear pan. My best friends and I bought it and we just absolutely love it.

The pot I bought will hold 2 pounds of dry NAVY (not Great Northern) beans, and said so in the description. I don't have the pot available just now to measure. So I will defer to A. J. Tremblay as to his/her measurement. Good luck, and enjoy your pot!!!

I don't know the dimensions but yes, it holds 3 quarts. It's a great pot and I use it very often.

It got thrown away, so I can't measure it, but I can imagine it might have held about 3 quarts. It certainly did have one long handle as shown (and would not stand on its otherwise usefully curved base). I'd be very inclined to find one in a shop to check with the pan you intend to use beneath it before buying!

I have found that some advertised as 2 Qt are referring to the size of the bottom pot and the insert does NOT hold 2 qts. Has anyone actually measured this one?

The capacity listed on the pot is 7.5 L or 7.9 Quarts. You can only fill to 2/3 capacity to allow proper functioning but we have never filled it more than 1/2 full.

I use mine to brew beer... but a 30 quart pot should be able to cook a 20# turkey.

You are absolutely correct, we messed up and it is a typo. They hold as follows:Small holds 1.25 qts, the medium holds 3.5 qts, and the large holds 4.5 qts (not to the border but a quatity you would would normally put in a pot without it spilling). I hopw that helps, and we have updated the listing to have to correct information. Thanks for pointing it out.

Sorry for the delay, I bought this as a Christmas gift and he just opened it last night. It will hold roughly 700ml or about a quart. I hope this helps. It is very beautiful and he loves it! If I can help in any other way feel free to ask, Heather
