How does it heat up? What power source doet it use? Do I put it in microwave oven? Do I add water to it?

Uh, I think the name of the product answers your 'power source' question. The item is named "Nordic Ware Microwaveable Egg Boiler"

You put water in the bottom, add the tray with the eggs, cover, and put in the microwave for approximately 12 minutes (depending on your microwave, how many eggs, and how hard you want them cooked), then allow to sit for 2 minutes.

Fill bottom to water line with water, insert metal egg holder, add eggs, put in microwave on high power for 4-5 minutes for soft boiled eggs or 10 minutes for hard boiled eggs.

Yes, you put water in the bottom. I put it in the microwave for approximately 6 mins for four eggs. I would make sure you use the same temp tap water and find out what time works best for you because i have had to very the time depending on what microwave i use.

Just fill it with water and turn it to keep warm or boil. It gets the water hot and and it actually stays hot on the keep warm setting. This is a very poweful appliance. I use it all the time and I love the way it works.

I am not recommending it, but check with the manufacturer on boiling it. A lot of these types of products have the option to microwave OR boil... Good luck!

I believe that my microwave is an 1100 W unit. I usually warm for 2 mins. Seems like it gets even warmer for a few mins. after I remove it, but then it does eventually cool down. This holds the heat very well, and I may warm even less the next time I use it. You have to trial and error it. If it's too hot, wait a few mins. before you use it. Next time you warm it, try 15 seconds less. Or you can warm for 30 secs. and feel it then rewarm it till you get the temp you want. I like mine as hot as I can stand it so I don't have to rewarm it as quickly. I like it. Hope that helps.

Personally, if I wanted to reheat I would use microwave. This appliance takes toooooooooooooo long to heat.

Frankly, I Haven't ckecked that. However, you can bake it and put it in the microwave, so I think it has pretty high tollerance to heat. Hope this helps.

I don't know. I don't heat water up in the microwave. The band around the cup is some kind of rubber or other substance and I don't think it would do well in the microwave but I don't know for sure. But I do love the cup. I bought it for my Mom who has Alzheimer's when she started spilling coffee everytime she drank it. It's the right size, not to big or small, and the top has held up through use after use after use.

I think one should be able to heat it with hot water. I don't have this product, but i am thinking of buying it and am scared of heating things in microwave. http://www.mercola.com/article/microwave/hazards2.htm

What wattage is your microwave? Mine is 1000 watts and I did 4 minutes (I think). I have not used them this year yet. Be sure to remove the cover before microwaving. The microwave part will be very warm. Handle with care - use pot holder if necessary.

I don't think you can heat it up in microwave. It has tendency to catch fire.

You have to add water, but you can either add water and then microwave, or just add boiling water to them.

A microwave oven, probably 20-40 seconds, depending on the power of the oven. It should stay warm for at least 10 minutes. A possible alternative is a hot water bath.

I apologize for delay in answering. I thought I answerd from my phone. It can heat muffins, but you will need to guess at time and temperature. I don't know if it boils water. I got rid of my microwave. I bought this convection oven to use in place of it. I find it is much easier and quicker to use to my stove/oven. This is good for making a meal, so it is rarely used. I have heated microwave food in it. Again it is a guessing game as to time and temperature. Good luck in your decision. It is very easy to clean. Come to think of it you could boil water because that is what you have to do to clean it. I apologize for delay in answering. I thought I answerd from my phone.

Hi Home mom, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I use it at work and i need something other than an evel microwave oven to heat my water. My company disallows electric appliances, but i think I'm going to purchase something from this link "http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dgarden&field-keywo;rds=stainless+steel+electric+tea+kettle&x;=0&y;=0&ih;=33_5_1_0_2_0_0_0_0_1.84_246&fsc;=35" these are a searc of stainless steel electric tea kettles. I'll put it under my desk. This way i can avoid the PBA's in Deer Park delivered water. Thanks again Hi Home mom, thanks for the suggestion.

After you soak it in water and saturate it fully, you can microwave it for up to 1 minute. It would stay hot for 30 or more minutes if it is in an insulated container. it just depends on your microwave and how you use it. Primarily, this is for cold storage and transport and pain relief. The heating benefit is secondary.

It takes about 3 mins for warm water. I imagine the microwave is faster. I still prefer to heat my water in the kettle though.
