Ideal capacity for large families, delicious cooking, fits single recipe, it's just extra as an object for cooking. As against the earthenware bowl, after several months of use, was cracked on the bottom, this is like "marble." So it makes micro slots. And even after a very rigorous washing, when I put it in the stainless steel tank and spring a few weeks later, molds are formed along the slots. It's really dirty I am very disappointed. I will contact amazon for me to repay the product.
