Anyone ever use a Cajun Rocket pot?

My uncle has one, he says its cut his time in half, if not more.

The crawfish pots are like $220. So I figure it must be a hell of a pot

never seen one...but damnm that is a hell of an idea...one of those things that makes me say "why the hell didn't I think of that?"....

I like it! Better heat transfer and more surface area = less gas to boil water. Might not take many boils to save enough gas to pay the extra for the pot. Might save on booze since the cooking time is reduced.

i'm going to call BS without even watching the videos. It may make water boil faster, but boiling water is 212 degrees and that is as hot as it gets. Physics can't be changed. On earth anyway.

Your thinking has a flaw.

Boiling water is not 212 degrees.

212 degrees is the point at which water begins to boil. It will remain in liquid form until about 300 degrees (it's critical point) when it begins becoming a vapor.

If this pot can be more efficient with the temperature/heat transfer with minimum loss and keep a higher boiling temperature then, yes, it could be better.

I don't think so. Put a themometer in your pot. barely boiling or rolling boil it will be 212. when it is boiling, it is boiling and that is at 212 at sea level. conversely, put a bag of ice in your ice chest, let it sit for a day until 90 percent of ice is melted, water will be 33 degrees until all the ice is gone. no matter what or how hot outside it is 33. throw in crushed ice, reread, still 33.

That's money right there.
