I purchased the 2-quart saucepan BUT it does not hold this amount-just 1 1/2 quarts. How much volume does the next size up (3-quart) actually hold?

I always order bigger than what I need I never know what I'll be creating. However, if you wanted 2 quarts I suppose you should have ordered 3 to allow for evaporation or other things you can adjust.

The description states that it hold two quarts. I havn't used mine yet, but it is a large pot.

Do you mean the flat part - the base? It's about 6" in diameter. When filled to the rim, the pan holds about 3 quarts. 2 quarts will bring the level to 1" below the rim.

The skillet has a three quart capacity with liquid coming to 1/4 " from the top of the pan. My experience is that you can cook with 2 to 2 1/2 quarts of liquid comfortably without worry of boil over.

I measure with Water and it is 4 quarts, it say 4-1/2 but the bottom is smaller and gets wider at the top.

Sorry, I don't rememer, but I'm judging from where I am at the moment (not near the pan to check) that it'll hold at least two quarts. Maybe more.

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

I do not believe this pan comfortably holds 2 or more quarts. The pan can sit surrounded by water however boiler is used for cooking delicate ingredients that have a tendency to seize or separate over direct heat. You would not want to cook that high or fast. Also water that surrounds would boil out over onto your stove and/or into your pan. I'm not sure this is the type of pan you are looking for.

The 3-qt. saucepan is 4 1/2" deep inside and the contact surface diameter is about 6", subtracting for sloping bottom edge. The 2-qt. has the same bottom dimension but is 3 3/8 deep inside. The 1.5 qt. pan has about 5 1/2" contact surface and is 2 7/8" deep. Hope this helps. They conduct heat so evenly that I experience very little boil up when heat is adjusted properly.

I just tested it and maximum capacity is 2 quarts(64oz) but I wouldn't recommend that much. I would say 1(32oz) to 1.5(48oz) quarts would be enough for big uses.

Just double checked ... definitely 3 quarts... with a little room to spare.

So I could give a truthful answer, I actually put seven (7) quarts of water into the pot. Yes, it held the seven (7) quarts but keep in mind that the water reached the very top of the pot. I wouldn't ever fill my pot to that ultimate capacity because of spillovers.

My 12 inch easily holds 2 qts, & can go up to 10 cups--but thats awfully full!! Hope this helps. We still positively love this ceramic pan!!

I haven't measured but it is not large -- I'd be surprised if it holds a quart

yes, this would most likely hold 10-12 quarts. I have 2 of these pots and use them for everything from chili, to spaghetti sauce, bake my beef and pork roasts in it too. The best pans ever.

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!
