What are the dimensions of this pot? I too am considering 6 vs 8 quart, since I like to have lots of leftovers to take for lunch at work!

The 6 quart is 7 1/2" diameter at the bottom, 9 3/4" at the top and is 7 1/4" tall plus the height of the top. With the handle, the top is about 16 1/2". Those are outside dimensions. The max fill line is approximately 4 3/4".

The pot is tapered so the diameter at the top is 9" and 7.5" at the bottom. Depth is 9".

Also remember that you don't fill it more than half full with your food and you need a minimum of 1 cup of water. We have the 6 qt and it is hit of miss if I have leftovers for my family of 4 depending on what I have made.

Cooking for 4 people, the 6 quart is adequate. I cook for two and it gives me leftovers. But if you plan to cook for 6 or 8 people, I'd get the 8 quart. Or buy the 6 quart and when you have more $$ get the larger size. I wrote an extensive review at ChezBettaydotCom.

I dont know the exact dimensions of the pot because I did not buy one, only have seen them in a store. I believe the inside of the pot is about the size of a mini crock pot. Its not that big or too small, good enough for a table group of six.

6 quart is fairly small but should be adequate for 2 people. It should be adequate for 3-4 artichokes. I haven't tried to cook normal roast but I believe it will hold a normal roast. The pot will hold 1 whole chicken. I hope that will help in gauging a normal roast. Overall, the pot is very well made with heavy stainless steel. I am now looking to purchase an 8 or 10 quart pot :).

Measuring the inside of the pot, the small is 6", the medium is 7" and the large is 8" all around.

I'm not sure where the 8.6" comes from. The actual cooking pot is oval shaped and approximately 8.75"W x 11.5"L x 4.5"D

I recently bought this same pot only to find out it holds only 17 qts filled to the very top.My pot measures approx 13" tall with lid,10-1/4" without. Inside diameter near top is 11-5/8".About midway down pot begins to flare out to 12-1/4" at largest point then gets smaller again near bottom. Encapsulated bottom diameter is 10-5/8".Total width across handles is 18". Hope this helps!

Mine was called 6.5 qt and measures 6.5 qt capacity. I think there has been an item listing for one that describes an 8 qt. I don't know if this is a different French oven or a mistake in the listing

8 3/4" w/out the lid; 12" with the lid. Sorry I didn't get back to your question sooner! This is my favorite pot for jambalaya and soups when cooking for a small group. I cook over gas and this pot cooks nice and even. TMI?? Bon apetit!

The 8.5 is the width - - and the 6.8 is the height. Order away! I've had mine for about a month, use it to store flour and I love it!

I think this question needs to be clarified, since there are two heights available for this item: each for 8-quart & 12-quart sizes. I got the 8-quart one, which is 8" tall without lid, and 10" with a lid. I suppose other answers which mention a measurement of 10-13 inches refer to the 12-quart pot.

Mine is a 7 quart and fit easily. Beware the ripping handles though, I almost dropped the crockpot on the sidewalk when the handles ripped.

11-1/2 X 4 tall and 5 qt. I love it. I have the 8 qt that's much deeper for soups and stews. I was a leery that it would be too shallow but it is perfect for on top of stove and the oven for other things.

Yup. I have an old 4 quart Revere Ware one which is nice but too small for most published recipes. 6 quart is fairly standard.

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 4 quart pot is 8 in. diameter and 5 in. in height. I find it's capacity a useful addition to the 3 quart pot. Good buy.
