How big of a pot would be needed to make a batch of this product? I want to give it as a gift w/pot included.

MUST use a STAINLESS STEEL pot.. No smaller than a gallon size pot. Ingredients call for a gallon of milk and other included ingredients.

There is only my husband and myself. I have cooked smaller portions of stew in this. The cast iron maintains the temperature so you can have less product inside, and is holds a temperature without fear of burning. A five quart would probably suit you well but this is great if you ever want to make a big pot roast, entertain, or make extra to put aside. I guess the question is - why too large? A shortage of storage space would be my only reason to scale down.

Can you give me the dimensions of the pot? I have been able to use a good size pot because the construction of the stove is that strong and has a good wide flame. I am almost sure you can.

There are .353 oz. in the pot. It is small, but there is a lot of powder in it.

I never made chili or chicken soup. I can tell you that I made a lamb stew and had 2 large legs of lamb, 5 yams, 5 potatoes, 3 Turnips all cut in quarters, plus carrots, tomatoes and quartered onion. Fed 10 people and had left overs. The pot is great. Any larger and it would not fit on my stove because of the exhaust fan over the stove. It is great for large quantities. My guess is that if there are 4 cups to a quart, you would get 80 cups of soup. That is a guess though.

i am not sure i gave it as a gift.. but i will tell you i have been asked my a few friends of the person i gave it to where did you get the pots and do they have them in stock.. everyone loves them they are heavy and well made...

I'm estimating at around 3/4 of a cup, maybe a full cup. They're small. I use them to steam eggs with chopped onion and mushrooms, etc. and each person gets their own pot. I love them.

i think 2" pots will be perfect. you may need to add a bit more soil in some of them.

I'm curious about this as well, if the distance from the bottom will be too great or what. Perhaps one could use an alcohol stove with some wire to hold it up closer to the pot?

I would assume 1. I always make a full pot but it depends on how much water you add.

Thank you so much. We are putting it a pot and wanted to make sure we ordered one that was big enough.

One user reports "Very high quality build, I got it for home brewing and have done a full 5 gal boil with a 10 gallon pot. However, the boil is not vigorous".. That makes it 50 lbs + weight of pot. Reading his review I would think thats about your limit. Thats a lot for a counter top burner. I have done about 40lbs myself pot & contents. Take all that with a grain of salt of course :-) There are no specs available to state the design limits. I would suggest you contact Vollrath for that info.. They are really nice and very helpful.

Interesting, Like Glenn, I have two that I use to brew beer with, and I love them. These stock pots are HEAVY DUTY. When they stated it's "Professional Duty" they meant it. I use them outside on turkey fryer burners and they're huge. This is not something most people would stick on their stove top. Look closely at the dimensions, it's close to 20 inches tall and 20 inches in diameter. I would assume you're preparing multiple chickens at once? I bet you could fit two turkeys in there without much effort. If it fits your space, it's an incredible stock pot!

I limit batch sizes to around 75 grams. More than that and you won't get good rotation of the beans. Also the unit will last longer. They do burn out pretty quick though.

when we bought it the bean pot it is one pot for a pretty good portion of beans. We make it when family are here and it makes enough for 8 to 12 people. or you can make less. Depending on what amount you want.

Sorry, don't have it handy at the moment (brother borrowed it), but I don't think it was quite 5" in diameter on the bottom. Looked at a ruler, and from memory am thinking it's probably about 4.5" at the widest/rounded part of the bottom. To be certain, I'd ask the seller. Would hate to be underestimating and have you miss a wonderful pot, because it IS absolutely fabulous.

I bought this as a gift for my daughter, so I needed to check with her on this. She said she can fit 7 quart sized jars in the canning pot
