Definitely good for boiling water. The problem is the handle, it gets loose in time. Try to avoid putting it in the dishwasher - handle screw may last longer.

it will boil, however do not mistake it for a rapid boil with large boiling bubbles of water. It will get to a light boil which is still very hot that I still need to let it stand for a minute or two.

I applied it to the big nexcare waterproof bandage, then covered the boil with the bandage. Changed it out every day or so. For me it took about a week for the core to come out, then just had to wait for everything to settle, about another week or so. Hope this helps.

Not to a boil, but it does get VERY warm. I use it in my wet saw water tray when I'm cutting tile in the winter cold. It makes it extremely comfortable!

Mine will boil, but it isn't a hard boil. It is a simmer, but bubbles are breaking the surface around the edges. It will do so even if it is very full and left on the high setting. It will not boil on the lower settings.

Actually it would work. I just tested it by unplugging it pressing down the tab and plugging it back in, and it started going. Probably still not worth doing though. Besides the fire hazard thing, if it takes you more than 2 minutes to get out of bed and to the kitchen, measure and grind your beans, pre rinse your filter and get set for your pour over then the boiling water would be cooling down by that point and you'd have to manually press the tab again to get it back up to temp. Grab a hario hand grinder and you'll have not problem filling the boil time with a nice little arm workout.

No, it will not boil water. You could make tea/instant whatever with it as it gets plenty hot, but not boiling.

I usually use it on an 8-10" diameter pot, but it can easily accommodate a larger pot - I would feel safe using it on a pot up to 12" or so. It does work really well- haven't had a boil over yet!

No, unfortunately. Be very mindful when boiling water. I had to buy a new kettle because I forgot about it on the stove and holes were burned into the copper. I still love this kettle though. Just have to pay attention.

Yes, it does a great job from boiling water to hard-boiled eggs to soups & making noodles. Alton Brown (from "Good Eats" TV show) uses this same unit for all of the above on his cooking show. I am so very happy with mine that I bought one for each of my sisters & my mother. Now that we all have one, we wonder what we did previously without one. You will be delighted.

I drain the Adagio Teapot into this pitcher after the tea has steeped in boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes. So yes, this pitcher will handle boiling water.

yes it would work perfect for that. Calibration ..... boiling water = 212 degrees F, 100 degrees C.... Ice = 32 degrees F, 0 degrees C

I would NOT use it to boil milk .....as stated below, the product booklet recommends it be used to quickly boil water ONLY.

The box says safe for microwave, freezer, refrigerator, and simmering. So I am not sure if you can boil with it. You can try foodsaver.com and ask the question through customer service.

I use it to boil water for ice tea a few times a week. When I cook meats I find that low temperatures are effective as a high setting on a traditional cookware. I'd have to say yes though curious why you'd want the high setting other than to bring to a boil? Good luck. One of the best pieces in my assortment of cookware.
