I like the size for the 2 of us. Would need a larger one if There were more people in the family. Perfect for 4 corn, homemade soup or sauce. The cleanup is a breeze with the nonstick surface. It is light not cast iron which I find far too heavy for me. Heats evenly. ICons top needs a vent, handles get hot and need potholders so you don’t burn your self. Doesn’t really replace my 50 year old Farberware completely which is 6 or 6.5 quarts. But it will get plenty of use!
