Did not buy for cooking - was purchased to make a custom vacuum chamber, and it does a superb job for this usage. The thick walls are completely stable under a 2 hour 27.4inHg vacuum which is the best my setup can do. If I ever get a pump that can do 29inHg or better, I'm confident that this pot will handle it!!!
I was worried that the riveted handles could air leak under vacuum, no problems with that either.
IMO, a great price for this pot as well, no matter what you're using it for!!!
Thanks for your review, Shawn! We are glad that you like this stock pot, however, we cannot recommend that this item be used for uses other than those stated in item content.
