cand you use this griddle to boil something (spagetti os)

No. If you want to boil something, I'd suggest using the coffee pot to hold the sauce and spaghetti os

We just got it and have not had a chance to use it yet. Hopefully we will do so soon. I had the same question about the element/griddle, as it is heated from the toaster oven located directly below. I'll try to save your question and send you an answer.

You should be able to, as long as your stovetop gets hot enough to utilize the 'grill marks' on this pan. I have a gas stove and it works great at high heat.

The edges are not high enough for anything with grease (Bacon, sausage) and you would not get good heat distribution between the burners. I would not recommend this for any purpose other than using it with the equipment it was designed for. Safety first.

You can try. The temp control is very unstable and ended up baking or under heating 2 batches before we have up on this unit. Total waste of $$$!

I'm not sure why you'd want to. It's a rice cooker/slow cooker/steamer, not a pasta or lobster pot. If I really had to try, I'd probably try the steam, or quick rice setting, but either one will probably take quite a while to get there. If I need to boil water, I do it on the stove top. If you're going to try, do not put the water in it without the liner. Put the water in the liner first.

I'm not sure. We use it for traditional puddings, so we put this in a pot and steam the pudding. I don't know if I'd want to use it as a pot.

Yes you can, just added water and anything else you normally do - then bring the water to a boil. cook it as you would in any other pan ... just check it periodically and stir.

I have not tried, but the directions indicate that you can. Since its a wok you would have a shallow pool of oil, not a deep vessel. From personnel experience, it might be easier to use a Dutch oven on a cooktop. One thing for sure: this wok gets HOT! Should keep the oil from getting too cool after adding food. Just fry in small batches.

Truthfully, it depends on the stove type. Yes you can; *however* when I used mine on an electric stove (with a smooth top), the largest pan became slightly warped every time it got very hot, and so my burgers ended up cooked unevenly (which I made up for by moving them around more). I have a set an my Mom's house too, and her stove uses gas flames - this is highly compatible with the pans!

Yes, but probably best if it's a simmer method. You'd do this without the wood/ceramic steamer unit -- just use the pot and lid.

It fits atop its own burner cartridge that fits into certain stove models. The way it's designed, you couldn't use it as a standalone griddle.

Yes you can it just depends on how many btu's your burner puts out, that will determine how vigorous your boil will be and how long it will take to get to a full boil with this pot

I don't think you can. I used it to brew kombucha. If you would put it into boiling water it may crack. I'm sorry that I'm not sure

if you mean on a heated stove, no. The glaze will eventually crack and possibly the bottom may leak, believe me years ago I tried this . Bonnie S

I never tried it, but there does not seem to be any reason why you can't unless it boils over and messes up your burner. I would call REC TEC, they are very responsive and would have a better answer.

I don't see why not. I haven't needed to do this but it would work just fine, just make sure it is oiled, as the lid is constantly getting all the steam from cooking and doesn't have much of the oil left from when you originally seasoned the pot. Would be great to use for hot cakes or tortillas. Might have a little trouble with bacon grease running off the sides though, cause a fire, if you try this this try it outside first so you don't burn the house down:)

As long as you use plenty of oil or whatever you are using, it works fine. If not enough oil then whatever you are cooking will stick to the griddle. You must not turn the heat too high. A medium or low heat works best.
