Can I measure boiling water in it since its not glass?

Yes. And it is dishwasher safe. But you cannot use it in the microwave to boil water.

I don't see why not- it's a very sturdy plastic. I don't think I would put in in the microwave though.

To be honest I'm not sure, but I don't see why not. You can always use the "old fashion" method of boiling water as well.

You can watch the stages of heating because the heat source is inside and the glass allows you to watch bubbles form prior to boiling. You could use a thermometer to take the temp of the water and stop the heat based on visual clues. For example, when the tiny bubbles are first forming on the heat element it is at least a minute prior to a full boil. You can stop the process at any time by clicking off the on/off switch on the handle.

It is very heavy glass, but I would hesitate adding boiling water. I use mine to store flour and sugar.

I think it would be measuring the temp of the glass not the contents, unless you took the lid off and pointed at the liquid itself.

yes, use the enclosed cup to measure the rice. Then use the markings inside the pot to measure your liquid. I put enough water/broth to barely reach the line because I like a firm rice.

Not to the extent that you could use a Pyrex measuring cup, but it would definitely work fine for reheating a sauce or something. The glass is very thick and resilient.

I have not used this probe in boiling water. This would be a question for the manufacturer, www.taylorusa.com/kitchen/thermometersConsumer Help & Support 1-866-843-3905. Good Luck!

That may be a question for Oregon Scientific. The probe is designed to withstand heat. Boiling oil sounds extreme. Maybe a timer (which it has) and a little trial and error would work.

No - you can use the measurements on the glass carafe to know how much water is being added.

Havn't tried, but I don't think so. You pour boiling water into it, as in tea!

You would have to ask the mfg. to see if this pitcher is made with tempered glass, before putting boiling water into it first.

I'm not sure because the insert is plastic so I don't know if it will hold up to boiling water.

NO! I have poured boiling water in it, but do not place it on a stove and heat it because it will break!

The kettle is made exceptionally well so I don't see why not. I think that this would be overkill though. You don't need a temp gauge

It's fine for boiling water. I used it at Burning Man to make coffee in the mornings and for meals. It's made out of silicone: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone_rubber

Linda, sorry I do not know...These glasses have not been put to any type of heat test. The density of the glass is greater than that of a regular glass. I trust someone will be of greater knowledge/information. I am guessing they could handle boiling water with no problem...beyond that???
