Have you cooked a pot of chili in it? Do they need to be tightened before flying?

I guess, you just need to use "Barkeeper's Friend" to clean the stainless pots/pans. You can buy it at homedepot or bed bath and beyond for a couple of buck.

It seems as though your numbers are lower than what I see. James comment about your altitude is important, but so is what you are trying to bag. If you are trying to bag some food that is hot (or even warm), it can reach "boiling" before you get to the level of vacuum you desire. Ideally any food being bagged should be cold to prevent this from happening.

I fly with 2 of them every week and have not had a problem. But the contents in them is more thick than thin. If I leave them in my checked suitcase I put it in a plastic bag. Overall, no leaks yet!!

Not that I have noticed. With the rubberized feet. we don't move it much while cooking.

Yes - I have a problem with the legs hanging through the burner grate and with the rounded bottom, it leans sideways a little. What I did do one time, placed one of those heat reducers on the burner and sat the pot on it.

LaVinnia, the handles should not get hot to the point you can't handle them. However, if the pot has been on the stove for several hours or if water ever over-boiled out of the pot, I would use a pot holder.

No, the handles are too large on the pot. My only disappointment as we're traveling with ours.

i did just that. used it as my carry on on a domestic flight to veil co...though as it is also my normal camping pack i checked and double checked that i hadn't left a knife or magnesium stick or anything "dangerous" inside.*edit* seeing the other comment i wanted to clarify, i flew out on American Airlines, and returned on Continental. so i know it fit in their o'head compartments

I like the side because they are an extension of the pot itself so I think it much more secure. Yes they get very hot and you need to be very aware of that but a good thick mitt will take care of that. Be safe and enjoy cooking. I made meatballs and red gravy yesterday and they were fabulous.

maybe not, I have never tried to boil on a camp with the item. But I now use another titanium item for cooking, there is a bit deformation(not serious). If you like, I think that it is worthy of your buying.(sorry for my ugly English)

I dont see why there would be a problem with flying i would just not fill them completely. We put ours inside of gallon zip locs just in case.

Sorry, forgot to mention that I had to build a spout so the flight crew could pour water into a funnel on the outside of the crate, which then filtered into a bowl inside the crate. I used a bird feeder & lets just say there's no way to do that with a comfort carrier. If the airline you're using requires the same, I suggest an old fashion plastic crate so you can secure the make-shift bowl with zip ties. It's a lot of work, but the alternative is to leave your pet behind which in my case - relocating without them was not an option.

"Mounted" they're awesome, ready to go. I would check air pressure before use though, mine were fine.

I flew with them filled and everything worked out just fine. Be sure to follow the fill instructions and don't overfill. I also put them inside gallon ziploc bags in the event they leaked. The added precaution proved unnecessary though. Enjoy!

yes I really messed mine up by ignoring those directions - but it was by cooking a sweet mixture that boiled over - sugary substance was trapped between the ridges of the pot bottom - reached an unusually high temp and pock marked the surfaceI'm now considering using this pot as a canner - thinking that it will only contain water and I'll watch carefully so it doesn't boil over (if it were to do so I would quickly remove the pot from the cooktop) - here's hoping . . . !!!

Hubby has, but I worry about the plastic feet on the product. It didn't hurt them at all, but our stove top burners may be closer together than yours too. Poor kitty ;-(

Mine is loose but not very loose. I know it kind of adjusts to the size of what is being grilled. I hope that helps answer your question somewhat.
