chickenpatty Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 What size is best size for a family of 8-10? Would 8 quarts be big enough? Where can I find one for the least $? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vonfirmath Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 What size is best size for a family of 8-10? Would 8 quarts be big enough? Where can I find one for the least $? Thanks! Our family of 4 has a 6 qt Dutch oven and we like that size. I'm not sure how much bigger I'd want it. We also have a 16 qt stock pot and I can't begin to lift it when its full!

momee Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 http://www.samsclub....sku=sku8714073S I really love mine. The handle at the top gets super hot so I wrote "Hot" on it to remind me it is not treated. Other than that it is my favorite piece of cookware. I make things just so I can use a wooden spoon and move stuff around in it. Did I say I love it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenpatty Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 Would a 6.5 qt be enough though for 8-10 people though, of whom four are male? Good point. My 8 quart soup pot seems like it would be a better size. Hmmm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vida Winter Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I use my crock pot ceramic crock more than my dutch oven. I just put a piece of foil over the top and use it in the oven. It weighs much less and is easier to lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
