does it resist boiling water poured in it??

that I'm not sure. I washed it in hot water and it is dishwasher safe but not sure if it would stand up to boiling water.

I dont think so. The only issue I see is that it's a bit tall. So dont keep it underneath anything. That way the steam is free to clear out from the top when it's boiling mode.

sorry I took so long to answer but I am not on the computer much lately. The faucet was a little too big for the glass container I put it in but I was able the enlarge the hole. I would probably handle boiling water but not a fire. It is make of hard plastic.

Yes, it will remain closed whenever boiling. However, I have found the contents must remain at least 3/4" below the top of the pot for the lid not to "burp" or jump. Otherwise, have not experienced any problems with this issue. Hope this helps.

Vat 19 states that it is not tempered glass, so the manufacturer does not recommend pouring boiling water in it. The metal utensil "trick" that One2ndTooLate writes about has always worked for me, too. Also, I wait about 30 seconds after I take the water off the heat before I pour it in. Supposedly, boiling water is too hot for tea and coffee and brings out the bitter oils. So, it's safer for my glassware and my tea is tastier! Enjoy your Kufra! I have three!

Havn't tried, but I don't think so. You pour boiling water into it, as in tea!

Cap is made of plastic. I don't know how heat resistant it is but I wouldn't try boiling water with the cap on.

I don't see why it wouldn't. It's not going to melt unless the water is beyond boiling.

yes, the inside of the kettle is the same as the outside and after 100s of boilings it is without blemish. Additionally, it remains as fast to boil as it did when I bought it. It has very good capacity with a small bench top profile.

The steam from the bottom pot is trapped and keeps the top warm. Of course, you cannot pour in cold water in the top pot and expect it to boil, but it does maintain the temperature as long as the bottom is warm.

Sorry, I've always poured hot water into it and never heated it directly on the stove.

I pour boiling water in mine at least daily and haven't had any issues. Hope this helps!

There's probably not enough heat generated ... I think it's sturdy enough. Liquids just take an awful lot of heat to boil!

Yes, it will stay up and NOT whistle if you don't want it to. I rarely use the whistle when boiling water due to how loud it is.

I don't think it could handle boiling water. It doesn't mention water temperature in the enclosed instructions one way or the other. But it's specifically meant for outdoor use on a hose bib, so that would obviously exclude boiling water. I could imagine that warm water would be fine, but it's an all plastic construction, I would be very surprised if this would withstand actually boiling water.

I have looked and looked for a glass pitcher that will withstand boiling water, but have found very few that do. This particular pitcher is well made, but I've never attempted to put billing water in it. I use it for iced tea. I make the tea in a separate kettle and allow it to cool a bit before I pour it into the pitcher. Also, I put hot water from the tap in the pitcher before I pour the tea into it in order to help warm up the glass. As I understand it, the reason many glass pitchers crack from boiling water is because of the temperature difference between the glass and the water...so, I always warm up the pitcher a bit first.
