How many qts does can it hold? I am indecisive about whether I should buy the 8 inch or 7 inch pot. I wanna make miso soup with this.

I have an 8.5" pot. It holds 5 cups of liquid. Makes soup for 1, with some left over; or soup for 2 with none left over.

I am sort of curious why you would want to make miso soup in this type of cook pot?

I use it in 9 and 7 in. pots. Works great. You just have to be careful pulling it out of the 7 in. as it uncompresses. It is a little floppy outside of the pot, but I love the thing. I might buy a second one, maybe a smaller version.

You could use this for any of your recipes, seeing that it's misleading.... it's only got a 6 quart capacity! I just received mine, and measured it. Yep, only 6 quarts will fit in it.

I can't imagine this could help, but I have an 8 quart which measures 10 inches diameter and 5 inches high. I have several other sizes of this brand and style and find the general configuration is wider than most other brand, relative to each pot's height. LOVE them all.

Hmm....I honestly had not seen that there are 2. We purchased the 8 quart, but have decided it's is a bit small for some of the stews and soups we make so we plan to purchase the 12 quart at a later date. Honestly, if I had seen the 7 lb. stockpot, I would have still purchased the 5 lb. one because I have very small hands!Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

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 bought 1 of these pots to see for myself the quantity it holds and the quality of the pot. It will hold 6 quarts and the quality was so impressive, I bought another one.

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 bought the 7 quart, there are many sizes. It holds a good size roast with carrots and potatoes etc. I really like it but would not get another one due to the fact of having to remember to use wooden or plastic utensils.

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

The pot holds exactly six quarts and not a drop more... For large amounts I cook with five quarts in mind and you for sure follow recommended amount when use use the pressure cooker setting... The pot cooks evenly and cleans up easily. It is great for searing and sauting.

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 have the 4 qt. 'saucepan' - the lid fits perfectly. The pan I have has a handle, I always think of a soup pot having 2 handles. I was very please to find a lid replacement for this pot, as I use it often.

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.

I'm not really sure if it would hold six quarts of liquid; probably so, but definitely not like a six quart sow cooker. It is a large skillet and I use it mostly for frying. Really like it.

This was a gift to our daughter so I don't have it here at our house but it's a 6 quart and not sure how many liters that is. I know it's good size and a very good stainless steel pot. Hope this helps. I would buy it again if the need arose.

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?
