No, this is fundamentally impossible with steel. Annealing works by making the material more "plastic", and this necessarily reduces its tensile strength. Which is the limiting factor for the vessel.

You can make the vessel thicker to compensate, but then you can just make it thicker in the first place and skip annealing.
