Can I set it on a table and use steam (carefully) coming out a tube for steaming hats?

You can sit it on a table with no problem, I'm sure. The hose is heavily corrugated, but you would probably want to use gloves holding the hose. It produces a steady, thin stream of steam, however I have no idea how it would work steaming hats.

I see no problem provided you FOLLOW THE UNERS INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LETTER. Make sure gloves are waterproof and insulated well enough to prevent accidental burns. I love my Earlex. Jack

It would be possible. Use mine to generate steam in a 5 foot insulated steel pipe to steam wood.

If I remember correctly yes, I believe that I used to just take apart and put in the steam bags. Hope this helps!

You could try it. The air may not circulate properly. Heat rises, so it may make the table hot. Is your goal to warm your feet?

Yes you can. I think I should tell you that the thing that holds the grounds doesn't stay shut very well causing steam to escape and you end up not getting a full cup

Yes that is correct. This is not really a garment steamer. I use mine to steam and reshape hats.

You mean like laying the garment down flat on a table/board, and doing it that way? It probably could, but the way it's built it's kind of meant to steam something that is hanging. As another person mentions, it does leak a little (which isn't that terrible of an annoyance) and the key is to keep your hand out of the way of the steam. That would probably be minimized by using it upright.

Probably so. It's made of silicone so if you're ok with steaming in silicone you should be good. You will need a decent size pot though.

Yes, I would say you could steam clothes even though it doesn't have a clothes steamer attachment. There are a couple of attachments that should work for steaming clothes.

Anything will fit. The steam head is only a few inches from the counter, but if you put it at the edge of a counter, so the steam head hangs over it, you can use as big of a container as you like - however, the steam head will only reach down into the container 2 or 3 inches, so if you get a really big one and try to use it for a little milk at the bottom of the container, you might not be able to steam it. The well is big (over a pint) so it will make all the steam you want.

I'm not sure if two steamers together will give you the right costintancy of steam you might want. If your layering two at a time you might want use a bigger pot underneath both steamers. This steamer is universal from 2 Qaurts up to 4 Quarts.

You can place it on a table. It has rubber stoppers on it. You might want to place it on a small grated shelf so it doesn't overheat though

Yes it can. The steam function is independent. Just turn the machine on and wait for the steam light to illuminate. Always be sure you have enough water.

Lid will feel slightly loose until the pressure builds up. There's almost no way to make this thing unsafe...the most unsafe thing you can do is attempt to let the pressure off manually by releasing the top valve without shielding your hand from the steam. Be sure you point the skinny end of the pressure valve on top toward you...once the pressure builds up, this should be pretty much sealed. If not, it isn't seated quite right.

Yes. You have to go under the "Special Beverages" menu to select the "Steam" option. When you've reached the desire temperature, you just hit the "ESC" button to stop it. If I remember correctly, the steam wand comes already attached to the machine.Or you can just connect the tube to the Cappucinnatore (coffee dispenser) and a container of milk. Your beverage and coffee will come out through the dispenser, however at a specific temperature.

Yes you can do as described but it isn't really steaming but rather boiling the veggies. The legs on this unit are nubs and not long enough to lift veggies put of water. A steam basket would be more appropriate. There is one made of stainless with 1" legs built to open (blossom like a flower) to fit the vessel being used to cook with. BTW it doesn't take a few inches to steam veggies for most families. The less water used the faster the water will create steam.

No this is a double boiler used for tempering chocolate and cooking various other items. It is not made for steaming. The top pot also has a rounded bottom it does not sit flat.

YES! Make sure to put cardboard under the copper when doing it, so as not to mark your table
