can one use it to heat up milk on stove?

This one is only 3 1/2' by 4 1/2" including handle so I have not tried it on my gas range with old-fashioned burners and my arthritic hands!I looked on web and apparently they can be used on stovetop without any problem. I just tried it with some water and it worked fine. It is a lovely little vessel and I highly recommend it. There are entries on the web for further info on frothing pitchers in general.

No, for several reasons. This is small, about the size of a coffee mug. No stove element is small enough. The bottom is slightly concave. The metal is too thin for that kind of heat. The original intent is for frothing milk on a cappucino machine. We use it with our Keurig since travel cups won't fit.

I would be afraid to as it would get really hot and may burn the bottom. It doesn't feel like a heavyweight steel/metal you find in a pan.

Yes you can. Pour milk in whatever size container you want to use and then add starter after hearing it up on stove. I would make as much as I could as I eat it with fruit and cook with it too.

Yes, it can be used to heat milk. Actually is does a great job of heating milk for making hot chocolate -- so just don't add the cocoa.

You can use it on the stove top up to medium heat. If you want higher temperatures I would heat the liquids separately and then add to the dish > It can be used on an electric hot plate again at medium heat.

No, it would not consider putting this on a stove to heat, for many reasons. First, all the metal is thin and connected. It would get crazy hot. Second, the base is way smaller than that of any stove top burner, so most of the heat would escape around the bottom, and make the sides even hotter.You use this for frothing milk, and nothing else.

I don't think it's safe to put this in microwave, but there's no problem heating milk in it on the stovetop.

The stove will get very hot when using it so I wouldn't recommend using it for this purpose.

My recommendation is ABSOLUTELY NOT. I use this to make tea on a regular basis and to keep it hot for days-I drink that much. Milk will undoubtedly boil over. It would maintain the temperature at too high a degree. Unless you are RIGHT BESIDE IT, dairy milk will not work. If the milk has a HIGH water content, like hot chocolate made with water, you may have a great shot. I would suggest making hot chocolate with the hot water that it creates and THEN add a portion of milk afterwards, but DO NOT LEAVE iT UNATTENDED!

This machine wasn't made to boil milk - only water so I don't know if this would work to heat up milk. When I'm boiling water for a cup of tea, after the water has reached the boiling point - approximately 5-10 seconds later it shuts off. During that time the milk may get scorched.

Yes, but the bottom is not a thick piece of metal like a stockpot. The contents of the container will heat up rapidly instead of gradually, so you would have to watch it closely to prevent the milk from burning.

I see no reason for not being able to warm milk directly in the unit. I would leave the frother out of the vessel when doing so. Be careful when handling vessel--it is on stovetop and it is not insulated--it will get hot.

Can't see why not. As long as it's not ceramic but a normal coil element type stove. Will take a few minutes to heat though.

Being of cast iron, I would think that you could use it on a stove, but it does not appear that it is to be used that way. It is rather small to be heated on a stove. It seems to be more decorative than just being used to heat water on a stove. I would say No, to using it on a stove, or maybe just over a low heat.

I have used mine for that, it just takes a few minutes to get hot. This is a handy little melter and I have used mine for several different things.

No, I wouldn't chance it. I would heat the milk however you like (gas stove or microwave), then pour the heated milk in the pitcher and froth. It's an amazing little gadget that froths milk perfectly for a fraction of what you'd pay for a fancy electric one. Makes great Lattes and Cappuccino.

I use it to heat up my sandwaches at school. It can heat up a cup of coffee. You must adhere to the directions. Remember it must not be confused with a large microwave. You can heat up a slice of pizza. It is great for its size.
