Buying a pot in the wrong size is one of the most common kitchen mistakes. Too big, and food spreads thin and can catch at the bottom. Too small, and it boils over and cooks unevenly. Here's a simple guide to picking the right size.
Granova 20 cm pot: for 1–2 people and side dishes
Ideal for small households, sauces, soups, rice for two or three, and reheating. It's also the perfect second pot next to a bigger one for the main dish.
Granova 24 cm pot: the everyday family size
Best for a family of 3–5. Big enough for daily rice, molokhia, stews and pasta, and still easy to handle and store.
Granova 28 cm pot: for big families and gatherings
For 6 people or more, big weekend cooking and family gatherings: mahshi, meat with broth, and anything you cook in large batches.
Quick guide
| Household size | Recommended size |
|---|---|
| 1–2 people | 20 cm |
| 3–5 people | 24 cm |
| 6+ people or gatherings | 28 cm |
Tips for choosing the right pot
- Think about the dishes you cook most, not just the number of people.
- Many homes keep two sizes: a 20 cm for rice and sauces, and a 24 or 28 cm for the main dish.
- Match the pot to the burner: a small pot on a large flame wastes heat and can overheat the handles.
- Leave room at the top. Don't fill a pot to the brim, especially for soups and rice.
Why a granite pot?
Every Granova pot comes with a matching granite lid that locks in steam and flavor, a Non-Stick surface that's easy to clean, and even heat that helps prevent burning at the bottom. Granova pots work on gas and electric stoves (not induction) and come in Black and Cream with a 2-year warranty.
