I was a little apprehensive in relation to the capacity (I use it only for heating water for cooking pasta, rice ... to save gas and time), but that's enough to fill a saucepan diameter 20. The water stays warm for hours through the porcelain. Warning: this is not ceramic, but rather of porcelain. The handle is not too hot, but when poured water at the very end, the steam escapes through the lid is not sealed, and no cause burns so well paid, taking the handle with one hand, and the lid with the other !!!
