I wish I could have had the same model with 8. The truth is, even with all the wondrous things that the IP does, you CANNOT fill it, not like a crockpot.
Especially for things like stew, soups and other wetter dishes. So, if it says 6qt capacity, really, you have 4qt capacity.

While I'm very, very happy with the purchase, don't get me wrong, I wish there had been an 8qt available. Given the nature of much of what you cook with an IP or other PC--stews, boeuf Bourguignonne, chix/dumplings and all that sort of easily-freezable thing, I would have enjoyed more capacity--not less.

Spoiler:
We only cook for two, but I'm seriously lazy (actually, I work 60+ hour weeks, and I am very, very jealous about what little downtime I have, away from the office) and anytime I can make and freeze, rather than having to make something new, I'm a happy camper.



Offered solely FWIW. As they say 'round the net, YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary).

You are so right. I really should have asked how do you cook?
Note: Beans cooked in the 3 quart crockpot do not come out near as well as in the 6 quart.
Oh and my 6 cup food processor does 2 cups of liquid.
