At first I didn’t think it could hold 11 qts, so I measured and it does! Right up to the rim so plan on less for room to boil, stir, etc.  I really like the slim profile of this stockpot. It fits nicely on my burner with no overhang. The heavy bottom makes it great for all kinds of cooking or canning projects. I’m sure I’ll get many years of service from this piece.   I have a Farberware cookware set from a wedding gift 43 years ago and still in excellent shape. Good brand, worth the price.
