Help! Can't decide between the 2 quart and the 3 quart. I can only buy one, as I'm on a budget.

Hello. If you can afford the 3, get it...if the other might be too small, why take a chance? You'll be able to use it more! By the way, ALL-CLAD "rocks"! You'll never be sorry for selecting that maker!!! Professional cook-ware!

Jaycelyn this was for the 6 quart NOT the 4 1/2 quart bowl. you can find both cheaper on Amazon. The also have them at Kohl's but they are more expensive. I hope this helps if you have any other questions, feel free to ask, Dana

I measured mine, too. Four quarts is clear to the top, almost spilling over. Three is about an inch from the top - too full to stir. So for cooking purposes, I would use no more than two & a half quarts. This is my favorite pan!!

I'm not sure if two steamers together will give you the right costintancy of steam you might want. If your layering two at a time you might want use a bigger pot underneath both steamers. This steamer is universal from 2 Qaurts up to 4 Quarts.

Jeanette, I have a 5 quart dutch oven and I was worried that this recipe would be too much for it so I paired it down to 2/3 of the recipe. I could have kept the recipe the same and been fine. No, you don't really need a 7 quart for that bread recipe, or at least that was MY experience.

1 quart mixed with 2 quarts distilled water makes three quarts. Still lot cheaper than buying the gallon that is not concentrated. I really like it.

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.

I do not have sufficient information to answer one way or the other... I should add that this size is advertised for a 6 quart unit.

One quart per 12 gallons or less, so even if you don't use the full 2 quarts you better get 'em. Hope this helps, would of responded sooner, but had a backlog of mail. Good luck!

This is the one you want then. I ended up buying 2 - seems to be the most popular in my house. Perfect for making sauces or melting butter. Also ideal toi heat up a can of something. My daughter just used one to make mac and cheese even, though I would have used a bigger one. Tri - ply is the way to go on this type of pot for sure.

I am not sure on the 8 quart, I have the 6 quart. I am sorry I was not able to help you.

Apparently there are 2 sizes. You pick the one you want. I have the 17 oz which is close to a pint. I have one that's a little bigger than a quart, but I don't have one 77 oz. That would be bigger than a half gallon.

Definitely 2 quarts minimum. 3 will handle you just fine. I used a roller and was very careful with masking out the area to be painted.

I look at it strictly thru this lens: If it's just for you and maybe one or both of you are smaller eaters, women, maybe, or a kid get the smaller one...but if you are gonna possibly be feeding 3 or more people at ANY time, then DEFINITELY get the larger...you can ALWAYS make do with Larger than you need as opposed to having something SMALLER than you need right the!! So again, just you...get the smaller....more than you?? If it was me, I'd get the bigger!! just my opinion. mike

we have the 2 quart one that is just right as I only use it for 2 people. If you entertain a lot you might consider the 3 quart one.

I personally feel that the 2 quart will more then handle reasonable servings for two people. That being said, I have found that I tend to over fill the pot with the 2 quart and wished I had a 3 quart so I would not have to worry about reaching the max.I should also add that having only to pay $9.99 - $11.99 for the 2 quart it was a simple no-risk purchase. I do plan on getting a bigger slow cooker with more control in the near future. The 2 quart has been a great little no-frills tool.

I have the 5 quart and have made several loaves of bread in it. The recipe I have calls for 3 cups of flour. Perfect size oven for that size recipe. Haven't had one single loaf of bread stick to the pot. If you might want a larger pot for other cooking, you might prefer the 7 quart, otherwise, as others have said, 5 quart should do. It's a heavy pot, so a 7 might be more awkward to remove from oven.
