Bring the water to just beginning to boil. Not a rolling boil, just when you see the beginning of the bubbles. I also use a tad bit less water than the instructions say and just press the potatoes down into it, then I cover the container with something to let it stay hot while they soften in the water. Love these! You reminded me that I need to order some. Thanks! Enjoy! :o)

The preponderance of evidence suggests that one should never drink or use hot tap water for cooking. Anyone who has ever drained a hot water heater will probably wholeheartedly agree as well.

I see others have answered and we all seem to have different methods. I put my potatoes in a bowl and then use my Keurig B40 to immerse them in very hot water (it doesn't reach boiling).

I add bottled water from the refrigerator and let set for twenty minutes. I also add bacon bits from Augason Farms, (Walmart), sausage crumbles and dehydrated onions. I let all hydrate together I fry everything in Canola oil and water so I am not using as much oil.I know this is more than you asked, I use this all the time.

The hotter the water, the faster they will reconstitute. I usually add 1 cup potatoes to 1 cup cold water and microwave it for 2 minutes. The let stand for about 15 minutes. Drain and cook!

Sorry, I actually returned my machine. I didn't think it got the milk hot enough (I use a thermometer typically). Where I live I have to descale pretty regularly (I now have a Giro - it tells me when to do it). But I think regardless of your water source the repeated boiling of water creates a buildup whether or not there's a water filter in place (not sure about that).

Your water should not have to be boiled every time. Mine stays at a consistent temperature until I add new water then it boils itself to set temp and remains there. Check your power source make sure it is staying on, otherwise contact the manufacturer.

I use regular tap water and haven't had any issues with that. It just isn't a very "strong" steamer.

I have used both hot and cold water. It doesn't really make much difference. Hence, I go with the easiest thing -- just plain ol' tap water, cold or room temperature.

It's plastic; so adding boiling water is going to leach something. How much I cannot tell you, maybe nearly nothing, maybe a lot. I can definitely recommend that you don't use this for boiling water unless it's a life-or-death situation. This is a canteen made for drinking water that's normally not above room temp. It's best utilization is as such.

Following my experience with this product, my only advice is buy a mop and fill a bucket with hot water!!! Seriously!!! Good luck...you're gonna" need it!!

You can pour in water right off the boil. Just don't put it on a stove burner. :)

Tap water has worked just fine. Distilled water is not necessary at all. Hope this helps.

The HeatWave Technology helps to maintain the temperature of the water you put in the unit. So if you use hot tap water (we do not recommend boiling water) it will help keep the water hot while using the SpotClean.

Hot/warm water would be nice, but I think it would take a while to get to the right temperature. You would be blasted with cold water for a while in the beginning anyway. I have gotten use to the cold water only and don't see it as a problem.

I have been happy with my machine. You have to put hot tap water into the machine; it does not heat the water.

I heat water on stove top. Probably should ck with manufacturer about micro use. I do love mine!

I've used very warm water and it is fine. It is medium to heavy vinyl so it could probably handle pretty hot water. Don't know about boiling water.

I will ask my Dad. I think he used hot water and worked at it a bit. But, he is very pleased with the results. I will ask him and get back to you.

Are you using hot tap water?, is the red light coming on? and make sure you turn it on to warm up. I do know using hot tap water makes a difference. Other than that I don't know....
