This is a one quart pot with lid. It can obviously hold one quart, but this will leave little space for 'boiling'. Depending on the volume of your can of soup, it would be adequate if you avoid overheating and stir often.

This Dutch Oven is a good size so in my opinion it would, also the bulk of the food would matter. Ill make soup and it leaves plenty to freeze, I also made a Roast and I had plenty for everyone. Its a great pot and also a little heavy but that helps with the heat retention, Ill probably get a second one I like it that much. I didn't notice what size you were thinking of buying but I saw the 4.5 Quart at my local store and thought the 6.0 Quart made more sense because I like leftovers and its better to have enough room than not enough. Just checked the prices and the 6.0 is cheaper that the 4.5 that's a much better deal, different colors are cheaper than others.

Ok, so is it safe to boil up to 2 qt. - that seemed a little unclear about 2 qt.? Two quarts would be fine, one quart would be too small in our house - some mornings with a 2 qt. I would still need to boil twice to make everyones tea and hot coco.

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 ¼ 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.

It is 4 1/4 quart and they also make larger models. I use mine for canning. There are lots of 1 qt. tea kettles if you just want a few cups.

There is only my husband and myself. I have cooked smaller portions of stew in this. The cast iron maintains the temperature so you can have less product inside, and is holds a temperature without fear of burning. A five quart would probably suit you well but this is great if you ever want to make a big pot roast, entertain, or make extra to put aside. I guess the question is - why too large? A shortage of storage space would be my only reason to scale down.

I thought it would be too small, going from a 5 or 6 quart, but it's been pretty easy to make most of what I like. I cook for one person, but always keep leftovers. Still, I would have preferred 4 quarts instead. But it doesn't take up much counter space-looks cute, and it works for most recipes. I had to modify one Chili recipe, due to it being too small. So, not at all too big for one person. I had something smaller when I started, but I couldn't imagine going smaller than this now.I've had this one for a year and half. Had to get it replaced just recently. The electronics went out and cracks formed around the readout. 3yr warranty, replaced the old one no problem.

This depends on the size of the pot.. For a can of soup, yes As long as the pot is placed directly in the middle, but I would not recommend anything heavier as this grill is not very sturdy and really should only be used for such things as hotdogs and hamburgers only to avoid losing your food as it's cooking.

I have put soup from a can in mine and it works fine. I let it heat up a few hours. Never gets overcooked either.

I believe so! I have made whole large chickens with vegetables with plenty of room to spare. I love this machine - it does everything. It's definitely a second oven - you will love it. I have had the six quart, the twelve quart and the eighteen quart for over 20 years. LOVE THEM! I would say the six quart size makes a roomy "slow cooker." If you plan to make larger meals, the twelve quart is probably the way to go.

I think you might want something a little wider. But I don't see why it wouldnt work. I put it on four burners to get it to boil as quickly as possible. Holds heat real well though

If I recall correctly, that container is enough for one quart. I mix it until I get the desired pigment, you can't have to much pigment in it, as it all becomes translucent when it hits the right temperature.

Yes it will hold 7 quarts...I use it to boil lobsters and will usually hold about 7good sized lobbies

yes but you need to pot the top and not leave it in for too long, this get very hot very quickly. However found it best to put soup in the aluminum tray to heat and it will take about 30 minutes at most to heat.

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.

I think the lid will too large for a 1.6 quart saucepan. It will cover the pan, but the lid will extend far beyond the size of the pan.

I haven't because I don't think it's deep enough to really cook soup (except for perhaps a very fast-cooking type of soup.) The flavors and ingredients wouldn't really meld, IMO. Also, although the lid seems very secure and tight, I'm not sure it would seal in the cooking ingredients well enough to do the slow-cook thing for several hours without losing too much liquid.
