Is it possible to heat this up in another way beside the microwave? Can I put it in a pan of hot water for a while?

From their website: "The collar can also be heated in a conventional oven at 250F for 10-15 minutes. Place collar on cookie sheet or baking dish in the center of the oven. Do not allow straps to touch the heating element. Rotate the collar after 6 minutes, top to bottom and if folded, inside to out."j Source: http://www.elastogel.com/images/stories/pdf/DFU/cc102.pdf

not really..... its for heating in a microwave. But you could freeze it and use it for a cold pack also.

I fill it with hot water from my coffee maker. I've never put this in direct contact with a flame or heat source and I don't use a microwave. I don't think that's how it's intended to be used. But ask the manufacturer if you want a more educated answer than the one I have.

I have never tried to do this; however, the heat from the dishwasher has never fazed it, no softening or anything... and I have had boiling water in it long enough to kasher it---- I would personally be willing to try it in mine with very hot water, but maybe a bit lower than boiling. Can't guarantee anything, but seems worth a shot. Or you could buy a hot water kettle instead. :D

I remove all metal parts from the lid and warm the water - no greater than 3 minutes - in the microwave. Works great! I wouldn't recommend getting water to a boil in the microwave.

I put mine in the dishwasher and no problem. I have not put it in the microwave but I do not see a reason that you could not do so.

Place it in the microwave....For best results, set the microwave to 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

You can place it in the oven but I do not believe you can use it in the microwave

I have never put mine in the microwave so I don't know for sure. I do fill it using the hot water spicket on our commercial grade coffee pot @ the office and that water is HOT. That being the case, I wouldn't be surprised if you could also use it in the microwave. I love my floating cup!

I'm pretty positive heating in water would not be a good thing. It gets pretty moist on it's own in the microwave and is very soothing. The fragrance is terrific.

I don't put it in the microwave, I put it on top of a diffuser on the burner (low) and pour the boiling water in, stirring after each increment.However since it's porcelain I believe putting it in the microwave should be fine but for good quality coffee, not so good.Hope that helps, Michele

You can't really microwave it, since the plastic around it going to melt, and its not a gel material its a liquid that once you snap the metal piece inside turns hard and releases heat.

You can heat it in the microwave, but you want to remove the lid immediately afterward or the pressure will draw the lid down in tight and be really hard to remove. It is silicone, so it is microwave safe. the lid will not be hot either, but the food/steam will be! Hope this helps.

This was a gift for a friend, so I'm not really sure. I personally would not put it in the microwave. Normally you would heat water in a teakettle, put the hot water and either loose tea or a tea bag in the teapot, then pour into the cup.

It says it can be put into the microwave, but I slip the portion that I need right out into a microwaveable bowl. If it is difficult to get out, you just have to run a bit of water over that portion for a few seconds.

No. On the bottom of the bowl it says do not use in the microwave. Sorry it looks like you should be able to. :(

After you soak it in water and saturate it fully, you can microwave it for up to 1 minute. It would stay hot for 30 or more minutes if it is in an insulated container. it just depends on your microwave and how you use it. Primarily, this is for cold storage and transport and pain relief. The heating benefit is secondary.

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.
