does it make foods spicy or "hot"

Does not make it hot or spicy. It is a smoke flavor similar to the smoke in smoked turkey in the deli meats.

No, it makes your meat "Smokey" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_flavor#Wood_smoke

Yes it does. Depending on what you are going to cook a little goes a long way. I have used it on several occasions with very satisfying results. Try it you will like it.

technically, no. However I found food to stick regardless. And if you use oil on the food - watch out! Instant fire.

I have not tried hot food, but my guess would be that it stay warm, not hot without a hot pad.

I use mine for cooking vegetables, not just warming. As for adding Spices, it works fine. I haven't tried steaming meat and fish yet. I will have to try that. I see no reason it would not work.

It is not hot per say BUT, it is spicy. IE it does not burn, I can keep it in my mouth ... but it is a strong flavour. I happen to like it ... I have been using it for some time now, certainly have a drink of water or perhaps milk would be better to follow it.

I believe it does. I was actually given a box by a Vietnamese friend, to help make Pho faster. It's best if it is added at the end of cooking your bones, onion, and ginger. However, if you are short on time you can use a store bought broth and add your charred ginger and onion, adding the spice pack for the last 15 minutes.

I use it more like a heat level setting 10 being the highest. Meaning 10 heat up food the fastest.

Mine did and on the front panel (you can't see it in the picture), there is a guide for chicken, beef, fish, sandwiches, etc., which tells you a range of minutes and a range of temperatures (like 4-6 minutes at 400-425 degrees.)

Not too spicy. I would call it a mild kick, but not so hot that it interferes with the flavor. Try them they are truly delicious (and easy to prepare)!

it can be mixed right in with wet or dry foods but it must not be heated. Heat kills the enzymes and probiotics and renders it useless.

No. It's very light in flavor. It does not over power the food which is why I use it whenever I crave fried foods.

Yes you do. It might pop off but that is ok. I was surprised how quickly the food warms up. And I also should warn you that a small amount of aroma may escape. I found my coworkers saying. Gee I wonder why I am hungry? I sure would like some chili. Even if they did not know I had food heating.

It is not intended for food. Works great for "is it hot in here, or is it just me"

It may add flavor & color if cooked. Sometimes I add a splash to tea like Russians do. Heat probably destroys nutrition value though. It's made to consume AS IS for health benefits.

definitely......it will tell you rare, medium, or well done plus the temperature in degrees and it does pork, beef, fish, lamb and even baked potato. Since I got mine I have purchased 2 more as gifts just because I was so impressed with it. I have seen others but they don't even come close to the ease and accuracy of this one.....you will NOT be disappointed
