No math here, but I did fill them to find the volume. I do have a GSI 8 inch fry pan. It measures 8 inches at the bottom and 8 1/2 inch's at the lip with a slightly curved outward side. it is around 2 inches tall. Two cups of water fills it about half way. Full to the brim is about 5 1/2 cups I also have a titanium 8 inch skillet that is 1 1/2 inches tall with straight sides. It also fits 2 cups of water with room to spare. Full to the Brim is 4 1/4 cups. They both are a bit tippy filled with water. |

50.24 cu in = 3.48 US cups. V = volume, h = height, 3.14 is pi, r = radius (in this case the diameter (distance across) the pan is 8 so the radius (half the distance) is 4. So after that, filling the pan to 1" you would have about 3 1/2 cups. |

Here's my question: if I have an 8 inch round skillet filled with water to 1 inch, what will the volume of water be? If it's 2 cups, then I might get the new skillet and use it for both boiling water and frying stuff. Mike |

You might want to try it at home first - pouring hot water out of a wider frypan and into a coffee cup might be a little trickier than out of a pot. |

One cup is 14.4375 cubic inches. |

No matter the volume I would not want to drink it. I can never get my pans clean enough, but maybe you have more success in that area. Good luck! |

But it all fits into the calculation of composition of my cook kit. Mike |

MikeinMpls: "A question for those math and physics folks: I'm thinking about killing two birds with one stone and replacing both my old beat up frypan and small cooking pot. I'm thinking about an eight-inch Sea to Summit or Jetboil skillet. We only use a small cooking pot to boil water in for the most part. I'd reckoned the one that comes with a lid. |
