how long do you boil before done?

To tell you the truth, I go for the smell and the darkness of the "perk". If you take it off too soon, coffee is too weak. I'm of the school that the darker the better. I live at above 6000 feet so the boil point is MUCH longer than those at lower altitudes. So giving a "boil" time is not going to work.....when it smells right and the perk is DARK, then it is ready. I will then place coffee pot on a simmer plate on a back burner to keep it hot all morning. Usually after the first couple of mugs,I will remove the basket of coffee grounds. Hope you found this helpful.

I would have to agree with the others, about 5 min is good, but if you want to pre heat to 400 I think that will take a bit longer.

cover it with a towel- then place in boiling water for about 15 mins. use tongs to check that its liquid and to remove - then let cool for a few mins before you use it for heat

That's how I use mine. Let the water sit about a half minute off the boil. Better for the coffee or tea that way.

I don't know, don't have a lab to test it's effectiveness. If it's a question about safety of drinking water, BOIL IT!!! water brought to a rolling boil for one minute before it is consumed in order to kill protozoa, bacteria and viruses. At altitudes above 2,000 meters, boiling should be extended to 3 minutes, BOIL IT, many viruses, and bacteria, and mold survive in UV light.

The boiling temp is 212, it takes about 15 to 20 min. Steam is not too much.

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

The newer kit's directions are a little confusing. Put the liquid and dry malt/DME in at the same time. Put one in and stir to mix well and not while boiling. Put the hops in next. Stir and then you begin to boil and heat for the 45 minutes. You can hold some out til the end but that kit re really doesn't have enough hops to make a difference between flavor and aroma. Keep stirring and be very careful of boiling out the foam. This will stop after a while but it will make a nasty mess if you don't watch it. Enjoy

Am sorry I cannot be exact - best answer from memory is 20-30 minutes. Faster than boiling that amount of cold water on stove top.

My instruction booklet says to use at least 1 cup of water. Thats what I use for vegetables, anything cooked under 15 minutes.

Hot at about an hour. Warm for about 2... I do prewarmt he vessel before putting water or grounds in it with very hot water.

I suggest soaking in warm water for about 20-30 minutes before adding to your recipe. Cooking will finish the redehydration. Good luck!:)

With every new kettle I always first do cleanse: mix little baking soda with vinegar and water, boil it (don't get kettle to full, may be 3/4 of the volume even less). After water is boiled let it sit for 30 mins, rinse well, boil clean water again, rinse. Your beautiful kettle is ready!

It recommends brewing for 3 minutes. That is what I have been doing and it takes great.

Sorry I can't help. I have only tried boiling for 3 min. as the instructions give. I have a Kurig and nothing larger to make more than one cup.

No, I boil water and then add the grits, and then bring that to a boil stirring for about 3 minutes. Then I turn fire down and cook with top on for about 15 minutes.
