I have Farberware and I use the 2 qt one to make a small amount of soup, rice pilaf, pasta, that kind of thing. I usually can make about 1/3 to one half a box of pasta with it, and when making rice, I use 1 cup of rice to three cups of water - if that helps giving you an idea of the size and amount of food. Oh! If I am making box macaroni and cheese, it's my go-to pot.

Honestly, it's my go-to pot for most things - when I am making custard for ice cream, or pudding, or peanut brittle I use that pot.

I also have this size which I use for making a bigger batch of soup, or for spaghetti sauce. The one quart size is good for a can of something like soup.

I hope that helped!
