I am now worrying about size, since someone on LJ recommended a 3-quart over a 2-quart but without an actual pot in my hands to look at I don't know how big the difference is, agh! (Well, obviously the difference is a quart, duh, but I can't figure out how big that actually is -- and since I'll be ordering from Amazon, it's not like I can actually go feel one up in a store.) I'm not sure how big Maryland's pot is -- I use it to make rice (1 cup rice to 2 cups water), but that barely fills half the pot. Maybe a third of it. A 2-quart is what my mother recommended, but I don't know what pot in the kitchen she was looking at when she said so! (We have a lot of pots back home.) I'm now wondering if Maryland's pot is a 3-quart, since the largest soup I made in there had 8 cups of liquid + the other ingredients, and it was close to full (though it never boiled over) then.
