If you have a gas stove and the vent above your range is high enough, then it is definitely possible. I use this pot for brewing beer at home with no problem. And it surprisingly comes up to a rolling boil in no time.

I would think you could... It will take a lot for a pot this size to boil water.

i dont see why not, i have a normal stove and it does great. If you can boil water in a metal pan on your stove, i'd guess you can do the same thing with this:)

Hello there Phillip, I've never tried this in a pressure cooker myself and it is not designed to be used with one, but from reading the Amazon reviews it looks like many customers have removed the handles from this item and have been more than happy with the result. I don't know the size of you pot but according to Amazon it is frequently sold together the 6 quart pot. I hope this helps! Kind regards - The Cookbook People

I use it frequently to boil pasta and it works perfectly fine. But, you are seeing it correctly; it's not tall and slim like a traditional pasta pot if that's what you're specifically looking for. However, it's an excellent all around pot. Great to make a big batch of sauce and meatballs for your pasta : )

I have used mine successfully on a Bayou brand fish cooker. I was concerned about stability but it worked fine. Great pot.

Can you give me the dimensions of the pot? I have been able to use a good size pot because the construction of the stove is that strong and has a good wide flame. I am almost sure you can.

This pot is for use on ANY stove or burner. It is a very high quality pot, but will experience some discoloration (nothing to worry about).

I love this pot, but I would mash my potatoes elsewhere. The non stick surface would be nicked. So to be safe I'd say no

I have not tried Crab Legs in the pot, but I would expect it would do the job . The pot is better quality than my last one and does not burn or scorch the foods I'm preparing in it. It is deep/tall enough that Crab legs should not be a problem. I hope this helps your decision.

This pot is about 20" in diameter, and much too large for a regular stove burner. You could probably situate it over all 4 burners though, and use them all at a low level.

I bought mine for home use. My husband insists on stove top perked coffee. For years we used blue speckled enamelware. this is a nice sturdy pot that looks nice on my new ceramic top stove. Hope this helps.

The stove is extremely sturdy with the cross members in place on top. As long a you have the weight distributed evenly I would say your options are pretty open as to the pot or pan you may use.

Just remember it has a very round shape and a small base area that would be in contact with a burner element on a stove. Anything with enamel you don't want to set the heat too high anyway... And cast iron really holds heat well. So you can use this on the stovetop but remember it's not really ideal for a fast boil process... more like slow cooking. So consider the needs of the recipe for cooking time etc. I really, really love mine. As other reviewers have pointed out... you can cook almost anything in it. Terrific for soups. But I do get out different pots if I want to cook something quickly. Hope this helps!

I don't think this stove is for indoor use. I would not use this, however you might try contacting the mfg.

Yes...I have a gas stove ..I have had my pot for quite some time and I am pleased with it...I am careful with the use of direct hot and cold on clay pot....

I am careful with this pot. I use if for spaghetti boiling or for vegetables. For stews or higher heat foods use heavier pot.
