Will the crock hold a true 8.5 quarts?

Yes but as with all crock pots do not fill more than 3/4 for best results. I used this crock pot to slow cook baby back bibs for a crowd recently. It's awesome!

Yes, it is true to size. I love this crock pot it is one of the largest ones I could fine. I searched a long time. Works great.

This was a gift to my mom, but she is very pleased & feels it is true to its size.

1) Yes it holds 6.5 quarts. 2) So far, I filled it up to 2 inches below the top. 3) I did slow cooking for 8 plus hours.

I gave the baskets as gifts, so never used myself. But, from what I remember, a 9X13 would just barely fit. By small crock pot, I am guessing you mean a 2 -3 quart and that would definitely fit. You might even get the 4 quart one in there. It is not heavily insulated, but should keep something that started out hot, warm for a couple of hours.

It will. Although it says it works for 3-6.5 quart cookers, it fits perfectly into my 8 quart cooker with still room to fit over it.

I have the 12 quart and that would work very well for crab legs. I couldn't say specifically for the 8 quart. I do LOVE this pot in general. I just made a full pot of beef barley vegetable soup and had no issue with anything sticking to the bottom.

Hi Lory, There is a new model of this same pot that is $18 less and free shipping and it has the measurements listed. Please check it out at http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-MCP66-24-MultiClad-Stainless-Stockpot/dp/B0009W38VW/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t Measurements for the 8 quart: Product Dimensions: 13 x 10.4 x 7.7 inches ; 7 pounds Shipping Weight: 7 pounds You will enjoy your Cuisinart MultiClad Professional pot. I do, however, find that my old Magnalite Professional stainless steel cookware from twenty years ago is easier to clean. But I consider both brands equally good at cooking our food.

The following is taken from Fissler's website: Note that the 8.5 Qt is 7" tall (without the lid), not 6.5". I own this PC personally.8.5 Qt. Pressure Cooker - Top: 10.2"; Base: 9.25"; Height (without lid): 7.0"4.2 Qt Pressure Pan - Top: 10.2"; Base: 9.25"; Height (without lid): 3.5"

It is rated at 1.5 quart. Which is 6 cups. 1) The crock, filled to the brim only holds 6 cups. You can't cook that much volume in it. 2) The crock, with the suggested 2-inch space between the top and food, only leaves 2 cup food volume. The 2 inch head space the manufacture recommends is probably to help prevent boil over. I did not do test the difference of cooking meat with low liquid content against soup with a high liquid content to see if you could cook a larger volume than was recommended.

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.

2 quarts is about right, 2.5 qt can fit, make sure to plan for expansion/overrun

Each of the crocks are 6" in diameter and 4" in depth. They actually hold more than you would think. I would guess it is a good quart of food maybe a little more. I use mine for noodles and gravy. I fill two crocks with noodles and one with gravy for holiday dinners. Keeps the food warm and tasty.

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.

The outside dimensions are about 13"L X 9"W X 10" D with lid on - inside the crock dimensions are about 9.5L X 7.5W X 4.25D. It holds 3 1/2 quarts. Hope that helps!

No, it will only fit in the 3 and 1.5 quart saucepans. It is not meant to be used with the 8 quart stockpot. It is excellent at steaming vegetables!

I have a crock with 8 cooking utensils in the center surrounded by 12 spice bottles and an olive oil spritz and it turns with no problems. Love it!

It should be able to hold that. I had my crockpot and other small kitchen appliances stored in mine without any issue.
