Can this pan hold a 3lb pot roast?

Yes. I recently cooked a 4 pound pork loin in mine. This pan is amazing and cleans up easily. You will love it!

A big 5 pound roaster? Probably not. I just checked a whole fryer, about 3 pounds, and it fits. You might want to use some sort of rack to raise it above the curved bottom of the pot.

Yes it can fit a pot roast, but not a huge pot roast. I cook chili for my family of four in this and we have a lot left over. This is a great crockpot. It cooks evenly and cleans easily. It's the perfect size for everyday cooking.

That would depend on the kind of roast and cut of meet. Even if the food extends past the length of the rack, it would be elevated in the pan. I guess you would have to determine the size of the pan you need to hold the meat or poultry.

This is a smaller roasting pan. I would probably look for something in the 16-17" x 13-14" range.

Not terribly, especially when compared to three-ply pans. It's fine for roasting, not so much for making pan gravy.

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.

Yes! I am pretty sure that this can hold very large, or very heavy pots. It is VERY sturdy. I am confident that cookware size wouldn't be an issue with this awesome stove :)

I don't know I'm vegan however I think it would - u might check by comparing the volume and see if the size works for 3lb roast.

I don't know, but you would not want it to be any heavier. This is an excellent pan.

I think it will. If it is not real big. I think it would hold a 5 or 6 lb one. Have not cooked one but I believe it would be good. Just be sure to rub some oil on the sides and it will be easier to clean. I have cooked stew and beef roast. Both were very good. Cooked them at about 250 like a slow cooker for about 6 hrs. Hope this helps.

I have a 13 inch pan and it weighs 2 lb and is easy to handle as is so wide. Makes great paella!

I purchased this one for my son and it is much larger than mine so I am sure it can handle a 12-15 lb roast

The weight of the pot is 3 lb, as stated in the item description. However, I think your question refers to the balance of weight in the pot. It has a very solid, weighty bottom that holds the heat superbly.

It will allow you to cook a larger roast or bird. Gives you about 3" more height

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.

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
