Is the pot or basket 4 quarts? About how many cups of vegetables fit in the basket?

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.

The pot is 4 qts. The basket will hold about 2-3 cups of veggies but I am guessing as I never measure the veggies. It is the best soup pot too without the basket

The basket is not four quarts. I can fit about two pounds of veggies in the basket. I like to use it when I have a crowd around the table. I can steam a small meal for me and my husband in it. I also like using it for blanching vegetables before freezing them.

The vegetable basket is at least six cups, if not more. Quite large. It is the pot that is about 4 quarts.

I never measured what I put in, and am not I. Town to measure it, but best guess would approximately 3 cups. It is large enough to place another bowl inside it. Hope thus helps.

You can fit 6 actual pots, but it is a tight fit. Once they start growing it is too crowded, I have 4 shortys and it is a tight fit. I would recommend 2 or 3.

Big enough.. If you need a bigger pot you're gonna have to build a fire.. I cook 5 lb pot roasts in mine and still have plenty of room for vegetables

Heidi, I do wish the stupid manufacturers would put this in the specifications - the same question gets asked over and over again. The answer is that each of the three pots holds one and an half quarts at cooking level. Prior answers at 2.5 quarts are absolutely wrong.

I see someone responded "1 quart". I measured it and it holds 8 cups of water easily = 2 quart

Neither, It's the outside diameter measurements. The pot measures approximately 26" in diameter by 24" high on the inside. It's about 16" in diameter at the bottom.

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

An 8 inch by 8 inch square. Will steam enough vegetables for a couple meals. I have done two large zucchini and two large squash and an onion in mine at once....made alot !! Steamed asparagus also. Nice size for a family.

8.5 x 6.15 inch interior of pot. Mesh basket's interior is 7.75 x 5.5 inch. The basket has a handle that folds down out of the way of the top and a hook on the side that raises the basket 3 inches higher when rested on the top edge.

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 won't bother to tell you the dimensions but will say DO NOT buy this pot. It is unusable. The lid fits so poorly that steam splatters all over the kitchen. Luckily, the insert fit inside a pot I had and it's wonderful for steaming vegetables but I never use the original pot for any purpose. It was and is the worst pot I ever owned! A very expensive steamer basket:)

It is an eight cup capacity. If you fill it too full it will spit some water out. You could be comfortable expecting six full cups of tea so you don't empty the pot and it doesn't spatter. It's very heavy and very nice. I bought it because it is well constructed and has a flat bottom for my ceramic cook top.

I have not measured the diameter but am sure it is not 12 inches. I have this pot and it is definitely 4 quarts.

The pot itself is 6 8/16'" in diameter and 8 12/16" deep inside. The basket is 5 3/4" in diameter and 7 10/16" deep inside. Excellent product especially for cooking pasta and vegetables. The mesh is fine enough to cook rice. I hope it helps you to make a decision. For me it's the best pasta pot ever.
