Will the 5 quart colander partially nest within a 10 inch diameter pot? How many inches will stick out above that stockpot? (Limited storage space)

Yes it does. Mine extends a little under 2.25 inches above the top of the pot. Hope it works for you. It is a nice, well-made colander.

I feel that it would nest in a 10 inch diameter pot and approx stick up 2". This is bases on our measurements of the colanders.

Pot diameter = 25 inches, spout extends out 3 inches, height with handle all the way up = 10 inches, height with lid on = 7 inches, height with lid off = 5.5 inches

This has been great - I use it regularly and it looks like new. Whether it will fit depends on the diameter of the stock pot opening, not the volume. It's a 10" lid. Hope this helps.

The pot's inside measurement is 10 1/2" wide. But at only 7 3/4" tall, it's too short for large jars when you need to cover the tops with 1" water.

Sure. It's very sturdy and well made so you should be fine with a ten inch pot.

yes, this would most likely hold 10-12 quarts. I have 2 of these pots and use them for everything from chili, to spaghetti sauce, bake my beef and pork roasts in it too. The best pans ever.

I have a 20 inch pot with a 14 inch diameter drain dish under it...the pot is tapered toward the bottom...and the drain dish fits perfectly in the caddy. This is a wonderful caddy...very sturdy. I have a seven foot miniature orange tree in it that's really heavy, and it's still pretty easy to move it all around. Hope this helps.

It's oblong, so it won't fit into a pot. You have to pour through it. But it's a great colander and doesn't take up a lot of room.

Pot alone, without lid: 6 7/16" deep and 10 9/16" wide (not counting the handles). With handles, it's about 13 1/2" wide. With the lid, it's approximately 8 3/4" deep (tall). I hope that helps. We really love this stockpot, it's awesome- it retains and distributes heat beautifully. It is wider and a little shorter than some stockpots, (but not as short as a dutch oven) so that makes it great for browning and ensures even cooking- I really prefer this size ratio to that of a taller pot. We have All Clad 3-ply Stainless pans as well, and this Calphalon behaves identically. Love 'em. Pot alone, without lid: 6 7/16" deep and 10 9/16" wide (not counting the handles).

UGH...I didn't measure it, I researched the pot that it fit and the one that I have, I was lucky that it does work perfectly. If I guessed it's probably 10 to 10 1/2 inches. Hope this helps!

The pot itself is 5" but the handle sets higher so it is 7". I turn it over to store. Btw..I love this stockpot.

I measured the pot and it holds 2.5 qrts. This fills within two inches from the top. I would not fill the pot to that limit. My husband is the cook, and he says that he is pleased with it. Elissa B.

Hello!The colander measures 10 inches in diameter (not including handles, which are about 1.5 inches) and it's about 5 inches tall including the stand/legs on the bottom which are about 3/4 of an inch. It's funny reading those dimensions because it sounds small but it holds a lot!

Stockpot measures 9-5/8 inches in diameter. Insert measures 9-1/2 inches in diameter.Pot capacity is 6 quarts; insert capacity is 4 quarts

There is only my husband and myself. I have cooked smaller portions of stew in this. The cast iron maintains the temperature so you can have less product inside, and is holds a temperature without fear of burning. A five quart would probably suit you well but this is great if you ever want to make a big pot roast, entertain, or make extra to put aside. I guess the question is - why too large? A shortage of storage space would be my only reason to scale down.

Very sadly, I just realized that the initial post was in 2008, the one reply was in 2009, it's now 2012 and still neither Amazon nor Cuisinart have come forward with better information! I just bought the 8 quart Multiclad and can firmly say that the diameter is about 10" and the height/depth is 8". It's a pretty flat pot - like a dutch oven. It was too small for my needs, so I'll be trying out the 12 quart.

No. The dimensions of the 6 quart covered stockpot are: base = 9.5" wide; depth(height, excluding lid) = 6.25".
