can you put hot water in it and use it as a kettle?

I would say no. It is thin plastic. The beauty of it is the ability to water hard to reach plants.

The kettle is made exceptionally well so I don't see why not. I think that this would be overkill though. You don't need a temp gauge & ball valve for hot sauce. In any event, cheers!

I suppose you could use it just for water. You could use a pot to heat water also. Seems like a silly question.

Yes you can put hot water in it. Water over about 120F will put small dimples in the outside of the cooler. Stays hot for many hours:) Been using these for portable handwash stations for many years!

Yes you can but I would start at high but then turn it down. Be careful when pouring water. Steam can burn your hand. All in all it is a good kettle.

Yes--I probably wouldn't put boiling water in it, but we used warmed water in it a couple of times when we needed/wanted hotter water.

Yes you can have hot water only and can put a tea bags or leaves in your cup. Make sure to run it first after you take out the old pod before you make your tea. Otherwise you will have a cup of tea that has a coffee flavor to it!

Kettles are strictly for boiling water. You pour the hot water into a cup or a teapot to brew your tea.

No, you would need to boil the water in the kettle and then pour it over the tea in another vessel.

I'm not sure. I would never boil water in it. I don't think its designed to boil water in it. You want warm water, about body temperature. You can use bottled water if your water supply is questionable. You can warm the water in a pan or warm it in the microwave.

No. You pour hot water in it and use it as a place setting on the dining table.

Unfortunately no, but you can just as easily put cold water in it and run it without worrying that its gonna heat up. The heating thing only keeps hot water warm for a short period because its not meant to actually heat up the water.

I wouldn't recommend it. It's a kettle. It will heat any liquid you put in it, but you might stain or damage the inside .

No, just fill it will hot water from a kettle and add tea to steep. Pretty teapot to serve from.

You may be able to as the plastic seems durable, however I don't believe this item is the best choice for continually putting hot water in.

No you cannot. It is a teapot that you pour hot water into and brew the tea.

I haven't. I would imagine that you could though. I have filled it with boiled water and it holds up fine. Typically when I'm using it though it had been with iced tea.
