Will this actually hold and boil 3-quarts of water, or is that a volume measure that goes above the spout to the lid, and it really only holds less?

I measured 3 quarts of water into the kettle....it was very full, but not overflowing. It took about 15 minutes, but it did boil. Hope this answers your question!

Hello Rod,Thank you for your inquiry. That item will hold approximately 3 quarts. Thank you for allowing me to be of service to you. Kind regards, Audrey Consume Relations

Technically, I believe it holds 2 quarts, or 8 cups, however I measured 6 cups of water with it filled so I could carry it from my sink to the stand without spillage.

I'm traveling right now so don't have access to a measuring cup. However, I estimate the reservoir holds between 3/4 to a full cup. Sorry I can't be more accurate but I think I'm pretty close. I find the amount it holds to be adequate for my needs. The appliance may feel awkward to use at first but you will get used to it and develop your own technique.....JW

It holds three quarts. I ended up having to buy a bean pot that was 4 1/2 quarts to do 2 pounds of beans.

Frankly, I never thought about water capacity. Just checked and the water level shows 1.7L with various lower measurements too. I don't "do" metrics and just guess when filling - roughly, I'd at least a quart. I seldom fill the whole pot but at least half full for using the time setting for getting up to hot water for tea and not having to wait for a conventional teakettle to boil. Love that feature!

I just dumped 8 cups (= 2 quarts) into the Scan Pan and it just started overflowing. So I have concluded that one quart is simmer-able; two quarts would be quite disasterous in the kitchen. We love our scan pan and use it for 90% of our cooking. - amy l peterson

It will hold 4 quarts but works best with 3 quarts. I must tell you it is an awesome wok, I use it a lot.

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

The maximum I fill it is to about halfway up the holes that cover the opening to the spout inside the kettle. That comes to a little under 40 ounces. This deceptively small-looking kettle actually holds quite a bit of water. That's the standard amount I boil in the kettle and it's never come close to boiling over.

I bought this with a 35qt pot, but have a smaller 8qt pot too. It has trouble bringing the 35qt pot to a full boil if it is full, so it hasnt been great with qt jars. I have used it with pint jars and the 35qt pot and that seems to work well(shorter jars require less overall liquid). When using it with my 8qt pot it works fine for canning, but it is to short a pot for qt jars.

yes, I measured the capacity...3 qts. comes up to the top of the pan, with no room to spare, so if you have to stir it, you would have to take care not to go over the side of the pan...good luck, Howard

Yes! As a matter of fact, when you you brew an entire pot, it is less than 4 cups. That's why we returned it.

I'm not really sure if it would hold six quarts of liquid; probably so, but definitely not like a six quart sow cooker. It is a large skillet and I use it mostly for frying. Really like it.

It fits my 2 - quart and 4 - quart saucepans. Not sure what it's actual volume is.

I'm pretty sure that it holds exactly 6 cups when filled up to the bottom of the weld seam around the spout.(My 2 qt Revere holds exactly 2 qt when filled to that point)I changed from using the Revere Ware 6 cup because even though I only make a couple cups of coffee each AM I found this pot inadequate, and if you fill it close to full (as with any Revere Ware pot)it will spit hot water out around the closed spout. Also it's not large enough to heat much water for other purposes.

No! 2-3/4 cup total contents when added to the need for room to boil would exceed the capacity. You would have a big mess on your hands! You'll want to consider a "regular" sized cooker.
