[Stoves] pot sizes /Re: Stoves Digest, Vol 37, Issue 24

[Lanny Henson]

Stock pot about 1; 

sauce pot about .63;  

and most braziers are about 15 cm tall for all the different diameters which is .43 for small size to .26 for larger size.

  In Africa most pots have pretty standard or shall I say similar aspect ratios. A stewing pot tends to be taller but it is rare to find a H/W (height/width) greater than one outside a restaurant (where the save space on a crowded cooking surface).

   

  For the ones you have, do you find a consistent ratio?

  Crispin and all,

  You mentioned pot sizes.

  There are stock pots, sauce pots and brazier pots.

  Does you pot fit in one of these categories?

  From photos it looks like most pots used in developing areas are in the "sauce pot" category but many also use stock pots for the larger 60 liter and 100 liter size.

  Links to Winco pot sizes. Different brands are different sizes but are close to the same size.

  Sauce pots

  brazier pots

  I am using a 40 quart sauce pot with the SLC but the pot shell is tall enough to hold a 60 qt stock pot which is about the same diameter.
