I use my soup pot, which is also a pasta pot and came with a couple of inserts for pasta and for steaming, but isn't what I'd call a stockpot. I'm not sure of the capacity.

Ah, but maybe the pot knows! *checks* Yep, Williams-Sonoma, 10/8 stainless, 8 quart.

I like air popped because I don't *have* to add anything to it, so I just give it a little spray of evoo and add seasoning. I'm a popcorn fiend, so always eating stove-pop would add up to a lot of oil sometimes.
