For a while, I misjudged fairly often. Over time, though, I’ve sort of determined what they mean when they say medium or large, based on how much of the ingredient they give me. In this case, they mentioned a medium pot. I used what I would call a large rice pot. It’s bigger than a normal rice pot, has two small handles instead of one long one, but is much smaller than a normal sized pasta pot.

What they call a large pot would be what I would define as a normal sized pasta pot. I’ve used larger ones, like gumbo pots, when they’ve called for a large pot, and determined that I’d used a much bigger pot than I should have.

I do wish they would all be clearer on what size they mean, but for now, I’m giving it my best guesses and learning with each attempt.
