How to choose the right size
Start with the finished volume of the meal: meat, vegetables, sauce and cooking liquid together. Leave space above the food for bubbling and stirring. A full-to-the-rim capacity is not the same as the amount of food you should cook in it.
Plan portions and leftovers
The number of portions varies with the recipe, serving size and side dishes. As a planning example, 80% of a 7.8-litre pot is about 6.2 litres of food, or roughly twelve 500ml portions. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed serving count.
Check the cooking position and handling
Compare the physical dimensions with your cooking area. Consider the weight of the pot when filled, how you will move it safely and where you will store it. For an event, two smaller pots may be easier to organise than a single large pot.
