What is the minimal pto diameter to fit this??? How about 8 and 9 inch 2-handle pots???

I've used mine with all sizes of pots. I love it! I've just about given up using my other strainers. I wouldn't say there is really a minimum. I think it would work just fine with an 8 or 9 inch pot. It is definitely designed for two handled pots but can be used with standard saucepans as well as long as you pour slowly (since in that case you can only hold it down with one hand). It measures about 10 inches between handle grips so I would assume the picture is using a 10 inch pot.

I just have a ruler. Handle to handle it is slightly larger than 12". I would add 1/4 " but it is hard to be exact as the handles are rounded. Interior width at the top is 9 1/4". However the pot tapers down and the outside diameter of the base is 9" so it must be less than 9" inside at the bottom. Without the lid it is 6 1/4" tall. With the lid, approximately 8 1/4" Maybe someone has better measuring instruments

There is a raised strip under the rim that is 8 3/8" in diameter.The strip is about 5/16" tall.I think in will work fine on your pot.

I use a 1 liter stainless pot and it fit fine with no issue. I'd say my pot is 6 -8 inches diameter at the bottom.

When I was looking for my craft I went to the Krups web page and looked up the Item # of your pot, FME 2, and it will tell you the pot size you need. Then to get a cheaper one you can look on Amazon. If that does not help, let me know. Good Luck, Judy

The upper couple inches are 8 inches in diameter. Then the lower majority of the pot is 9 inches in diameter.

The pot from the bottom to the top of the handle is 9 5/16th inches, the pot alone is 7 and 9/16th inches. I just measured it, twice.

I have two Farberware pans-neither has exact across the top measurement to the inch. The lid I bought is exactly 8" My guess is that yours wont fit.

I actually put a 13 1/2" square pot inside the planter. Fits very well. I bought it at Kmart.

It's height with the lid is 10 1/2" high, and without is 8 1/4". The total diameter with handles is 12", and just the pot is 9" diameter. Hope this helps :}

Very sadly, I just realized that the initial post was in 2008, the one reply was in 2009, it's now 2012 and still neither Amazon nor Cuisinart have come forward with better information! I just bought the 8 quart Multiclad and can firmly say that the diameter is about 10" and the height/depth is 8". It's a pretty flat pot - like a dutch oven. It was too small for my needs, so I'll be trying out the 12 quart.

Each circle is 8 1/2 inches in diameter. I have three different size pots on it but as long as the bottom is not bigger than 8 1/2 inches any pot should fit

It's a 9" pot and I would think the lid would fit any of WearEver's 9" pots. It fits my 9" stock pot from another WearEver stainless steel set.

I'll be going to a craft store some and I'm going measure the width and see if I can find the smallest but efficient handle. Wish me luck! Plus double Thanks for answering my question!

The capacity of the pot is not the issue. Measure the opening. I have one pot with an enormous opening, and it will not work for that one. All the others fit.

I just measured and a 10 inch pot will not fit. I have an 8 inch pot and there is little room left.

The diameter of the pot is 7" not including the handle which sticks out about 2 inches.
