I take the pot of potatoes. He easily holds 1-2 kilos. Garlic pot I use for onions. The pot is colored exactly as shown, not cream, but also not pure white. Visually there is nothing to complain about. One of the highlights. There is only one little restriction. The upper edge is hollow and open to the pot inside. Are washed the pot and inside out to him, so that water and dirt leak, will always remain a part of the edge of the interior. Better you try to swing the pot so that the water drains through the holes below. That's not exactly practical. Therefore only 4 stars, 4.5 will not do so. But no reason to shy away from a purchase.
