For many years I used a 5-qt stock pot. Too small and annoying.
Every time I made anything large, it didn't hold quite enough
that I wanted. So I bought an 8-qt one that works well for me.
Gives me about 7 quarts of whatever I make, stock, spaghetti
sauce, chili, etc.

That's all I need for me and even when daughter lived here. I
only have a fairly small fridge with freezer on top. I just
measured it = 15" X 15" X 23". So 7 quarts is enough to store in
that and still have room for other things.

Unlike Julie I can always find some space in my freezer to
freeze another item.
