Actually, pots and pans are not typically measured in quarts. Quarts are a unit of volume used for liquids, and they are more commonly associated with measuring liquids like water, milk, or oil.
Pots and pans, on the other hand, are usually measured in terms of their physical dimensions, such as diameter, depth, and capacity (usually in terms of how many liters or gallons they can hold). The dimensions and capacity of pots and pans are essential for cooking and determining their suitability for specific recipes or cooking methods.
For instance, when you see a pot labeled as a "12-inch skillet" or a "3-quart saucepan," the measurement in inches refers to the diameter of the pan, while the measurement in quarts refers to its liquid holding capacity.
So, while quarts are not used for measuring pots and pans, they are often used in recipes to indicate the volume of liquid ingredients to be used during cooking in these cooking vessels.
