does it heat (for warming things) like a microwave

I'd rather use it to heat things because microwaves make things soft & soggy.

It works like any oven. I use it to bake chicken. I like the digital temp reading so you know when the temperature you want is reached. I enjoy ours very much.

Yes, it can be heated in the microwave but remove the wrapping and container and place it on a microwaveable plate.

No, it does not heat it up, but it is an excellent frother, and the attachments provide a variety of uses.

Yes it is!! I love this for heating up a can of soup in microwave and melting things.

no, there is a holder that sits on the warming tray for the three warmers. It gets very warm and I actually had to remove a plastic servinng utensil that was inside one of the warmers with food because it started to melt, great product for the money.

Yes. So this item isn't good for heating soups, etc., but works great for heating water.

It is metal so no microwave. I think you could heat in the oven but I have never tried it. Good luck

I find that it warms the milk but doesn't make it hot. If you likes it hot using the microwave seems like a good idea.

Yes. I got the microwave a few months ago. It has a light and fan. No problems with it so far. Very happy with it.

Yes, it is warm enough to heat water as we put a pot of water on it to put mosture in the air. Happy with it.

I apologize for delay in answering. I thought I answerd from my phone. It can heat muffins, but you will need to guess at time and temperature. I don't know if it boils water. I got rid of my microwave. I bought this convection oven to use in place of it. I find it is much easier and quicker to use to my stove/oven. This is good for making a meal, so it is rarely used. I have heated microwave food in it. Again it is a guessing game as to time and temperature. Good luck in your decision. It is very easy to clean. Come to think of it you could boil water because that is what you have to do to clean it. I apologize for delay in answering. I thought I answerd from my phone.

No, unfortunately it does not. It's not thermal. You can put soup in it and microwave it, but I'm not sure how many schools have student accessible microwaves.

I don't think you can heat it up in microwave. It has tendency to catch fire.

Mine does not. However, It does not really heat up as well as I would like.

No. But I think it warms up quicker than my older one which had a cover. Great for camping. Hope this helps... Joni

Yes it is flat and gets warm enough to put something on it to warm, as long as it's not plastic.

My thoughts are that it would warm but not to the extent of microwave heating therefore wouldn't last as long. Microwave heats from the center- out and water from the outside-in so the center wouldn't hold the heat as long with water versus microwave.
