I'm with you.I can only assume that this is what the pot looks like.
It is a large pot but sometimes a large pot is what you need and you just have to make the best of it. I don't think things will be so compromised that the dish/recipe won't turn out.
Don't worry, we usually reserve judgement until after you've asked 4 or 5 questions.I hope as my first question that this is too dumb,
Welcome! Not dumb at all.
That's a very large pot. And wide.
If it exceeds the burner by 2 inches all the way around, it will compromise the performance of the cookware on an electric stove, IMO.
Are you sure you need such a large, wide pot? What do you contemplate using it for?

My wife had asked for a nice one since the one she was using was given to a college bound son, I bought it for from Amazon, I think I over did it, I have read a few threads and have decided to return it and buy a 6 quart All-Clad from Cookware and More recommended in the $100 thread. I would post a link but can't yet, is a 6 quart the standard size for this type of pot?
