Can anyone tell me what the capacity (in quarts) is for the large pasta pot? Thank you!

I believe it's 12 qt. Its huge. The biggest pot I have gotten with a set and has a steamer insert to fit.

I purchased the bowel and returned it because it was way larger than my previous pasta bowl. I typically would cook one pound of spaghetti/linguini. Based upon estimation, I would say it could hold two pounds of pasta.

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.

I'll go with what the other user posted. to me its big enough pot to do 8 quarts of whatever I am cooking. Its a beautiful pot and very sturdy, after all its a Commercial grade and it cleans up awesome. Works well on my PIC

Hi B, I own the 4 quart size... interior height with top on is exactly 8 inches high. The 3.4 quart (tall) for pasta noodles is exactly 11 inches high (interior) with top on. Hope this helps- Dave from Oh

Amazon sells by pot capacity. Just measure it with a quart size measuring cup.

Any pot that holds enough water - 3 or 4 qt's for 2-4 servings is good for cooking pasta.

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

We use it all the time for a family of 4 but I guess it depends if you are counting on leftovers? for example in this pot I can cook 2 one-pound bags of dry beans, and that really fills up the pot. Or pressure cook 3 pounds of skinless boneless chicken breasts, or a 4 pound chunk of beef. If you are canning, it holds 4 1-pint jars. This size is 6 liters which is a little bigger than 6 quarts, but in any case, that's over a gallon. If you have teenage boys in the house and are feeding their friends too sometimes, then you might want to go with the bigger size.

Hello - I measured the capacity from filling each pot up to the top row of the handle rivets. The '8 quart' took only 7 qts, the '12' took 10 qts, the '16' took 13 qts, and the '20' took 18 qts. Still useful for stock making.

Hi there, I believe the large pot fits 6 quarts and the smaller pot fits 4. Hope this helps, cheers!

This is an excellent pot for pasta. Lots if room for large amounts and not too awkward to tip into a strainer

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.

Hey Kevin, it is a 6 quart. It is more bigger around than tall, but it is huge. I use it all the time for soups, roasts etc. I would recommend this to anyone who loves to cook in bulk. It's great to make a huge pot of soup and then freeze the rest. Great piece for your existing cookware.

It holds about one quart! It's very durable, and easy to clean and fill, too, which is nice.

There are 3 of us and part of the pasta box is fine in the pot. To mush pasta in pot and the water runs out of pot as it is not deep enough. I use the pot for my sauce and making soup for it is the right size.
