Can you heat water in it

It is meant to be a teapot, so I don't know how it would stand up to repeated gas or electric heat

I wouldn't ever use it to heat water. It is a tea pot, not a tea kettle. I have noticed that people say they do use it to heat water but I don't think it's designed to so think it could damage the pot

Unfortunately with this model you cannot make the water hotter. However, it helps to warm the cup briefly in the microwave.

No ... Does not heat water. I heat water on a turkey fryer style grill in a small metal garbage can with soldered joints. Works great in the middle of nowhere with just ice cold lake water available!

It's not meant to keep your water warm, only heat it up. If you want it to stay warm after you'll need a thermos.

No ...it's a kettle. You can boil water and transfer it to a pan and add egg,, but do not cook any thing inside the kettle. It is for boiling water alone.

I guess you can, but why do you need this unit if you already have a hot water source?

Yes, it is warm enough to heat water as we put a pot of water on it to put mosture in the air. Happy with it.

no, but it might take quite a while. I put water in it and it took about 20 minutes to get what would be just warm. I haven't tested its Temperature-over-time/liquid.I'd do it now because you have me curious about it, but the unit self-destructed within weeks.

I suppose you could, but the bag isn't insulated. Over time the water will eventually cool to the same temperature it's sitting in. Now if you put the heated water bag into a cooler you may buy yourself a few hours of warm water.

Are you asking if you can cook in this? No. This is for heating water only. It is not made to cook in. You may want to consider something like an electric skillet as this would give you more options.

I believe they only recommend heating the water as you are not supposed to submerge it to wash it. I wouldn't brew tea in it but it would be nice to be able do that and reheat your tea...

You may be able to as the plastic seems durable, however I don't believe this item is the best choice for continually putting hot water in.

I haven't tried it, but I'm sure you could use warm (not hot) water to warm it up. It's a thick plastic cover, so it would probably work.

you can heat your water up in it for hot chocolate, but you cannot actually put the chocolate in it

I don't think hot water would work well in it. It's insulated with a rubber material. I'm not sure but I can imagine it melting? I would try a reusable microwavable heating pad instead.

You can but you have to be really careful because of the steam. I use a spatula to turn the water lid, with my hand covered with a tea towel. As it starts to steam, I step back. Do a bit more. Step back. It's all a bit Heath Robinson but it takes less time than cooling down and reheating, and it does work, but you have to be careful.

Yes, you can however we returned ours after the hot water failed within a week.
