Can it be used to easily melt large quantities of butter?

I wouldn't use a teakettle to melt butter, use a little sauce pan on the stove or a glass measuring cup in the microwave

A kettle is for boiling water for tea, coffee, etc. It could be used to melt butter, Iguess, but you'd have to really clean it well if you are ever going to use it for tea ever again! A smallish pot, over a low setting, and a wooden spoon are the best way to melt butter.

Okay??? I don't understand why you'd use a tea pot for this but the top comes totally off and a large cube of butter would fit in - several one at a time.

sorry i do not know if it would suit you're needs , never made apple butter. and how constant you need the temp?

I wouldn't recommend this technique -- but I have done this. My advice (if you absolutely must microwave): Dice the butter. Heat in 10 sec* increments until soft (not melted). The butter will become more spreadable and easier to pack into your butter crock! *microwave oven times vary

I'm not sure. I've used it to melt paraffin, and though it took a while since it's indirect heat, and we had to break apart the paraffin into small pieces, it melted it just fine. We had the water at a very high boil so the steam would heat the bottom of the silicone unit.

I wouldn't unless you're just using it for candle packaging. A lit candle would melt it. I use mine for baked goods.

Not if you want to make nut butters. It has no internal cooling fan. If you just want to chop a few up, then yes. But if you try to use it to make nut butters, it WILL burn out. There's no escaping the laws of physics.

I have not done it, but the instructions say you can. No melting parts. I love this pan more every time I use it!

I don't think so! I agree with John Farago. BTW, I use mine to melt melt & pour soap and it's great! I tried to make custard with a new one, and it really stuck to the bottom. You should really find a cute little Bain Marie or double boiler that has a non-stick coating to cook anything that will stick. Hope this helps you! Another BTW: -- that is a good price!! When I was first looking for a double boiler I saw one for $85 or more, then I bought one from a small cookware company (can't remember the name) which was around the price for this.

It is relative to the time and speed blending. Even turning into pure butter; if done for this wish.

Haven't used it for this, but the construction is heavy duty steel, so it would probably work for melting butter on an electric stove. Might not be big enough to fit on a gas stovetop element.

It would probably work great with melted butter but the outer bristles probably aren't stiff enough for your intended use.

You will not be able to properly mix all of you ingredients with this tool. It works great for cutting butter into pie dough.

Yes, you can use heat, on the lower settings.. It won't melt it ,or burn it in the least, as long as you are careful, and watch what you're doing. :)

So far, I have only done a butter cream icing. It worked wonderfully! I feel very confident it can easily handle Italian meringues or other icings. Also, I have made bread several times and it works like a charm with that. I can't think of anything else heavier, so I would imagine any icing I threw at it would be fine.

I really don't know. I would first research how other people make nut butter, what kind of tool they use. If they say a blender then I see no reason why you could not use this for that then.

Id say NO, but I haven't tried to melt it that way. I think it needs a slow melt down. But contact the seller, he will answer all your quastions

I did buy this to use in my blender, but haven't used it for butters etc. I would say that it would work for most things. Crystallized honey might be a bit tough, put the container in hot water, first.It is fairly rigid right up to the bottom quarter of the silicone. You would want some flexibility though, to get into corners/blades etc.
