Is the 2.6 quart large enough to feed 6? Am concerned that the 3.7 would be too big if I have only 2 people..Does anyone have experience with both?

I originally wanted it for 2-4 but it was larger than expected. I use it for 4-6 people. I follow a recipe on YouTube titled Chicken Tagine with Potatoes, Olives but I double the recipe. I bring the dish to the table and my guests love it! I also use the pan for roasts and stews. Did I answer your question?

I was afraid the 2.6 quart may be too big for one person but I found it perfectly made two servings plus at least 3 maybe 4 servings of left overs for lady size portions (men can eat more) so I would say 5-6 total portions- if you need more than that- go bigger - but these are beautiful tagines best - sandie

Actually I figured this size 2.6 was pretty small before I got it but it was really big, for 4-6people no problem

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.

We are a family of two and the 6 qt is just great and does the jobs with no problems. I think you have to ask how much food do you prepare in a single setting for 4 people. In a 6 qt we can do a 6 pound chicken and a 5 pound roast so anything larger than that I have no information.

Purchase one, a 2 quart and found that it meets all our needs, often with leftovers. Would recommend 2 quart crockpot such as the one posted here. Works great for two people.

Sorry my last answer was the larger pot not the 3 quart. The 3 quart is about 7 inches wide, plus handles, and 5 inches tall, plus lid.

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.

I have a 6 quart. A 12 lb. turkey is too big I would suggest a 20 qt roaster.

The 6 quart should be enough. Since it is modular design, you can actually put the rings without the pans in the middle. It can hold food much larger than corns alone.

I don't think these are the ones you would want to cook for 6 people. I love them but it there are only two of us. They clean up like a dream and nest together so don't take up much space in the trailer. But there is a bigger set called the trailblazer which should work really well for a group that size. A little more money around $46.00 but it is a prime item! Try that one. Have fun camping!!

I've made a few batches with it and have only made one-quart batches and they have been fine. I don't see why you couldn't do it with a half-quart batch, or smaller. I also haven't made a full batch (two quarts). Hopefully that was a little helpful.

The containers are slightly more than two quarts. However, that can be misleading. Since there are the three, and they are generally used for SERVICE of food, quite often the contents are cooked elsewhere and then poured into the crock, thus eliminating the need for head room. So what would generally be cooked in a three quart pan, after it is fully or nearly cooked , is reduced down to two quarts in size, or less, would nearly all fit, and then would serve the same amount of people but from the smaller container.

The advantages would be according to your size of family. There are only two of us and we don't need to cook big. 6 qt is great if you like to cook large amounts, other than that there is not really an advantage.

I would not use it that way; too deep and narrow. I would use a 6 quart Cambro (round or square) with lid - far easier to clean and will hold more.

I have the 9 quart and can stand up about a dozen ears without packing them too tight by removing all but the bottom pan. I guess the 6 quart would work, but you'd have to chop the ears in half or thirds first.

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

i use both sizes, and so far the 6 qt is big enough, though occasionally i wish for just a bit bigger.

I've used them in a 6 quart a 3 quart and have even used them in a 1.5 quart. You will have a lot hanging out, but it works fine.
