Is this and 8 qt pot or 12 qt pot?

It comes in 8, 10 and 12 quart models. The 8 quart is currently more expensive than the others, go figure?

Let me update my answer. The pot I purchased and reviewed is 10 quarts. It's great for making stock/broth, boiling ears of corn, boiling pasta, etc... It's a great size and I use it frequently. You can choose your size, however.

What are the sizes of the pots that come with the set from Amazon? It does not list it specifically on the website and I have heard that it comes with a 6 qt stock pot rather than the 8 qt it is supposed to. That would explain why it is $20 cheaper on Amazon than anywhere else.

The larger 20-qt stock pot by this same manufacturer and sold under the same "Professional Commercial Grade" description (http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Commercial-Stainless-Induction-Certified/dp/B003HMH60K/ref=pd_bxgy_k_img_y) is noted as being 18/8 stainless. While not proof that this one is, perhaps it's a safe bet for your purposes.

if I have the correct one, it is a 12 inch square. The 8.5 is the height, with the lid

I think this question needs to be clarified, since there are two heights available for this item: each for 8-quart & 12-quart sizes. I got the 8-quart one, which is 8" tall without lid, and 10" with a lid. I suppose other answers which mention a measurement of 10-13 inches refer to the 12-quart pot.

From the back side of the maker I'd call it a bit over 12.5 inches tall. We use it in the office. It makes three pots a day, every day. No problems after 8 mos.

The pot is 4 qts. I think the basket holds about 3 or 4 cups of vegs. I am single and I just love it. Sometimes I steam up a whole medley of veggies. It has good weight and cleans up beautifully.

Each of the pots is a bit more than 2 quarts.Number of servings depends on what you are cooking.

It holds 12 8 ounce cups only if you fill it to the very top of the rim of the pot and then you could not perk it! The 12 cups--where they have the measurement on the side saying it is 12 cups-- is really about 8 cups. So when they say 12 cups they do not mean 8 ounce cups.

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?

Hi Lory, There is a new model of this same pot that is $18 less and free shipping and it has the measurements listed. Please check it out at http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-MCP66-24-MultiClad-Stainless-Stockpot/dp/B0009W38VW/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t Measurements for the 8 quart: Product Dimensions: 13 x 10.4 x 7.7 inches ; 7 pounds Shipping Weight: 7 pounds You will enjoy your Cuisinart MultiClad Professional pot. I do, however, find that my old Magnalite Professional stainless steel cookware from twenty years ago is easier to clean. But I consider both brands equally good at cooking our food.

I am not sure on the 8 quart, I have the 6 quart. I am sorry I was not able to help you.

I sent back because I thought they were 2-1/2 qt pots - did not say this in the description - believe they were about 1-1/2 qt.

The internal dimensions of this 8 qt pot are; Diameter - 9 in, Depth - 6 in. By the way this is my favorite pot. It works with my induction cooker, is easy to keep shiny clean and is just the right size for things like soup or chili.

They are nominally 8-, 12- and 16 quart. That's not like a Pyrex measuring cup, where there is a little room above the nominal capacity; that more like a stainless steel measurre, where you get a heaping measure and then use a flat blade to make the contents flush with the top. I used to work in a lab where we would use the 20- and 30-gallon pots regularly. I find myself using the smallest one all the time, and rarelt the larger ones.
