Not sure, but I imagine it will take longer or the food will stay harder. It's all cooked so I don't think there's a safety problem.

I use piping hot water from a kureg coffee pot, it is easier than boiling it. It is suppose to be boiling water but hot seems to work ok, just takes a little longer.

Yes warm water is fine. I have a hose connection on my laundry sink that works great.

I simply soak in enough hot water to cover overnight. Some people bring water to a boil, then strain when it cools. Either way works.

Either distilled water or water that has been recently boiled. Of course if you boil the water then cool it down to room temp before using it. The reason for this is to ensure there are no microbes or pathogens in the water.

To be honest I'm not sure, but I don't see why not. You can always use the "old fashion" method of boiling water as well.

I would avoid using boiling hot water with any plastic product BPA free or not.

I haven't poured boiling water because I usually let it cool a bit so I can sweeten, but I would say it's completely safe since it's BPA free which is minus the chemicals that you would get from a non-BPA container especially when adding boiling water as it can dissolve into the container. It's really a win-win.

Hot/warm water would be nice, but I think it would take a while to get to the right temperature. You would be blasted with cold water for a while in the beginning anyway. I have gotten use to the cold water only and don't see it as a problem.

I'm not sure about that specifically but any water for tea should not be boiled. The ideal time/temp font tea water is just before it boils. (If you listen to your tea kettle there is a distinctive sound just before the boil starts.) Boiling removes the oxygen from the water and flattens the taste if the tea.

It only takes a few seconds for us to get hot water. Ours is used in the kitchen for hot chocolate, tea and to fill pots so they don't take so long to boil on the stove.

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.

Heat the water like they've been doing for the past 8000 years...over a fire or just resently in a new thing called a stove or microwave. Yes boiling

"Hot" is too general of a term.....this pvc piece is suitable for average temperatures . Hot water from the tap is absolutely fine....but boiling waters would be too far and extreme for this fitting to withstand over time. ......

Yes, you can warm water without boiling. Overall it's very good product. I had older model from the same brand for 10 years until little plastic window cracked. Even then it didn't leak for months. I've tried two other brand in a year (including Bodum) while I was looking for T-Fal. My old model was discontinued. Finally I saw this one. No regrets sinse I got it. Small ( not like most others 1.7 L), quick with two heating options beside boiling. Recommend .

I have the same question, can you actually cook meals and boil water, or doesnt it get hot enough, except to keep already cooked food warm?

I have used both hot and cold water. It doesn't really make much difference. Hence, I go with the easiest thing -- just plain ol' tap water, cold or room temperature.
