Does the 60 quart pot actually have a capacity of 15 gallons?

I have the 40 qt. pot and it holds exactly 10 gallons, but that is to the very top. I would assume this would be the same for 15 gallons in a 60 qt. pot. If you have 15 gallons of stuff, a 60 qt. pot would technically hold it but would be impractical. Go for an 80 qt. pot to be safe.

Sorry, didn't need to measure in gallons or quarts so I don't know. I do like the quality of the pot however and would assume that it is indeed 60 quarts which is 15 gallons.

Yes, the pot has markings for both quarts and liters, starting at 1 quart and 1 liter and increments by 1/2 quart and .5 liter up to 4 1/2 quarts and 4.5 liters. The markings a clear and easy to read.

Are you kidding....a six gallon tank? But it does 15 and I'm happy with that.

I'm not sure. I think it is the depth that is 15 because that does not expand. Sorry I wasn't more helpful

I'm pretty sure that it makes 5 1/2 gallons. If this is the size that I bought it is 22 Qts

I was using it for 60 gallons and it worked fine. It takes couple of days to see the results thou, so be patient.

I haven't actually put a 15 gallon pot on the unit. But assuming a diameter of approximately 15 inches, yes it should take the weight just fine. If the bottom is the thin gauge them at high setting it should be used only for boiling water because it will scorch anything else it's on the bottom. It's that powerful.

Amazon sells by pot capacity. Just measure it with a quart size measuring cup.

yes it does. The pot is high quality, worth the investment. Be careful, amazon may cost $20 more due to shipping fee. The market store may cost less.

Sorta, with a little extra capacity.Depending upon the station and temperature, I have filled from 1.2 to 1.5 into the tank based upon THEIR meter. 90% of the time the fill from empty is 1.3 gallons.

My purchase was a gift. The recipient is happy with the quality and size. However, I believe your question would be best answered by manufacturer as I can only surmise that the pot was designed to support the official capacity.

I have never measured, but have always been surprised at how much it can hold. At least 6 quarts.

yes is does hold 4 quarts but then it is full. I do not fill it to the top because I use it for pot roasts.

Yes, it's 15 inches. Still working great, with daily use of at least 12 hours per day.

Bought it for the same reason you did. I get 18 quarts of soup in a batch, with about 1 to 1 1/4 inch to the top. So I would definitely say it is 5 gallons to the top. Great stockpot for the price.

Yes it will hold 7 quarts...I use it to boil lobsters and will usually hold about 7good sized lobbies

Per C. Simpson's recommendation above, I purchased the Hamilton Beach -- but what's disappointing is that it's listed as "8 cup capacity" (which is technically true), but if you want to boil water (the whole purpose) you can only fill it to the MAX line which is *6* cups. Talk about misleading!
