will it be able to handle 1 gallon water in a pot for pasta or would the pot weigh too much?

I use it with a 6 qt pot, but remember that it has to be tall and not exceed the cook plate.

I believe it will be fine. I pretty much only heat with induction these days. It's a no-brainer

Yes, I can boil a box of pasta in there. I feel like it's plenty of water to adequately boil pasta. We are a family of 4 and we use this pot for everything. I have one for sauce and one for pasta.

I use this pot to cook smaller amounts (3-4 people) of pasta all the time. I really like the pot.

I use mine for brewing about 7 to 8 gallons of "beer" at a time. Thats all liquid. I would base your amount of water required to boil that much pasta at a time by this. I could probably fit another gallon in my pot with no worry of boil over, if it was closely watched. Hope this helps

It can hold a gallon+ of water BUT I would definitely NOT use/recomment this unit as a slow cooker, or to make soups and casseroles. This skillet is not deep enough and too wide to promote concentrate heat in a compact area which is essential in the types of food cooking you referred to. The heating element do not push out consistent heating at any level--it tends to cease producing heat or shut off heat once an unknown maximum heat level is reached at any of the heating settings. It is good for browning meat for soups and casseroles but I find my previous experience at a *set and let to cook* attempts not workable. I recomment buying another cookware more suited for your use.

weight may be the problem when filled with water it could break the stove top

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

I am careful with this pot. I use if for spaghetti boiling or for vegetables. For stews or higher heat foods use heavier pot.

if whole box = one pound, then no. probably 1/3 or 1/4 of that. it boils fairly quickly with the lid on, but when using for pasta or soup the instructions say not to use the lid. so after you put the pasta in your water would take a little longer maybe to come back to a boil (as well as more water evaporating). honestly, this pot is not very well designed (have to take the lid off when pouring from it, water drips everywhere).

I use a 10 gallon pot, usually filled with about 7.5 gallons and its solid. I don't see any reason why it won't support cup to 100 lbs.

I love the pot. The weight is not flimsy but not so heavy that it's hard to use.

Should be no problem. This is a strong stand. Product specifications say it handles a pot up to 36 quarts at the lowest height. In the high leg position the max is 12 quarts. The liquid weight (assuming half full) is 32 lbs and 12 lbs. So the manufacturers recommended limits are at least 32 lbs in the low height and 12 lbs in the high height. I personally use it for a 22" steel discada with several pounds of food in the high height with no problem. I recommend testing your setup when cold and make sure everything is stable.

Large pasta sure... But spaghetti I'm pretty sure it'll go through the holes, maybe you can find one off those collapsible strainer you use ( metal that fold onto themselves) put that at the bottom and then it'll work. That's a lot of pasta too cook guessing you're got a big party! This pot is enormous...let me know the date and time and I'll come over and join in on the fun. Either way though I love this pot!

Yes, this pot is well suited to cooking linguine or spaghetti for 2 or 3 people.

This pot would cook pasta just fine if cooking for no more than two people. It is a little small for a large amount of pasta. I use my pot more for pot roast, stew and soups. It is a great pot.

It is basically a terra cotta pot so it has some weight to it and is fairly thick. If you dropped it on the ground it won't survive but I've dropped mine in the sink without harm

it will be heavy....google how much a gallon of water weighs and multiply by the gallons in the description.
