Not sure . put two # 10 cans of green beans in it . Wouldn't have held anymore . Guess I'd say holds 8 QTS.

I just measured the capacity of this slow cooker... 8.5 quarts of water fill the crock to the inside lower rim! We have been very pleased with this product. It was much larger than I expected; we have put it to good use. I slow cooked three racks of baby back ribs yesterday adding only a spice rub and 1/4 cup of water. They actually browned and cooked beautifully on "low" all day. We also cooked a roast with all the veggies last week... delicious! The large capacity allows for plenty of leftovers! Only one small negative; when the crock arrived there was one small chip on the crock. I did not bother to ship it back. I would easily rate this product 5:5! "She is big & beautiful!"

I haven't actually measured it, but I have had a big pot of Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup going in it... I have a 6-Quart Slow Cooker which I was very displeased with, because it had the non-stick finish on it, and it worn off after about the 5th use...It holds a lot more than 6-quarts... I hope this sort of answers your question..

I personally feel that the 2 quart will more then handle reasonable servings for two people. That being said, I have found that I tend to over fill the pot with the 2 quart and wished I had a 3 quart so I would not have to worry about reaching the max. I should also add that having only to pay $9.99 - $11.99 for the 2 quart it was a simple no-risk purchase. I do plan on getting a bigger slow cooker with more control in the near future. The 2 quart has been a great little no-frills tool.

It will hold 4 quarts to the very top, but with 3 quarts there is about an inch to spare from the top. If you have something boiling, you would not want more than 2.5 quarts. I just love this skillet! It is so easy to clean, and I really like that extra handle to hold the skillet when removing from the stove. It is well worth the buy!

3.5 quarts is fine for one or two people. Filling it all the way with whatever leaves leftovers, but even if you put only a few cups of something in it still cooks evenly. Most of the larger sizes are absolutely vast compared to what we needed, but this is still a bit larger than my old Crockpot, which could be frustratingly small at times.

The All Clad Slow Cooker is 6.5 quart and the insert shown should fit it.. I don't think they make a 6.1 quart Slow Cooker unless it really old.

I poured water into the pan and it held about 4 quarts. Of course, you would never fill it so full to cook anything. It's basically a wide, deep sauté pan. I love it and use it all the time for family meals. The double handles make it easier to lift when it's full.

Mine was called 6.5 qt and measures 6.5 qt capacity. I think there has been an item listing for one that describes an 8 qt. I don't know if this is a different French oven or a mistake in the listing

It holds quite a bit. I'd say that 5 quarts is accurate. It is nice and big!

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.

This is a 4 quart slow cooker not a 6 quart, check on Cuisinart website for better description.

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

It is oval-shaped and holds 5-6 quarts, although since you're not supposed to overfill them, the lower number would be best. I haven't measured it.

No. But the 3 quart has a warm setting. If you are looking for something that will give you 2 quarts, I would get the 3 quart crock pot anyway because that is all you will get. It is still very small. The 3 quart only fits barely 2 quarts if you follow instructions. You are only to fill it 3/4 but even if you fill it to the top without overflowing, you get 2.5 to 2.75 quarts. 3/4 of that is around 2 quarts. I returned my 3 quart because I wanted at least 3 quarts so I guess I will have to buy a 4 or 5 quart crockpot. Hope that helps.

I filled my 2 qt measuring cup with water and filled the crock pot 4 times. So to the top of the rim, it is a tad over 8 qts.

Sholeh, unfortunately we only have this 6.5 quart pressure cooker. I apologize for the inconvenience!

It holds 3 quarts. But 2 comfortably, I would say, depending on what you're cooking. 3 quarts of liquid puts it within a half inch of the top of the pan.
