Yes. All three trays as well as the silver liner that holds the trays together can be removed. It can certainly then be used as a warmer.

No, the lid is not intended to be used for anything else besides covering the container

Of course. It is actually better for re-heating than for making them. I don't think it is a great appliance for preparation.

Insulation is primarily done by the outermost container. You can mix hot and cold in the smaller containers, but they are not well insulated from each-other.

That's not really how a sous vide is meant to be used. Taking cold things in and out will definitely alter the temperature.

Unfortunately, the container is not removable, however the lid can be taken off.

I have for short periods, but it may not be a good idea. The heating/cooling element is on the side of the cooler. I would imagine if the ice melted enough that water got in there, it could damage it. Maybe if you did ice in milk jugs or something.

Yes, you can. I do it all the time. But it gets hot and the lid is to tight (difficult to remove). That is why I removed the lid from the pressing thing and use it without the lid.

Yes. Just be sure the hot side is closed tightly. Dont put containers in dishwasher.

yes, just be sure to a hoy pad or some such to remove the lid after, and don't set it down on anything cold

No, these containers are not for freezing. You would use the foodsaver bags for that.

No, it is only for dry ingredients. You would use the larger wet dry container and it will be fairly easy to remove.

No. Since the containers are sideways when magnetized to something, you have to lift the lid off every time.

I have been using it for last 5 years...never had this problem..YOu need to remove the plastic sheet on top of box before warming it.

Yes, just fill with warm water. There wont be germs, the water blows out, not in. You can rinse off the lid after it is used.

I have never tried it. In theory, as long as the jar fit in the space provided, which I don't know if it would, it should be possible. That said a jar would most likely be completely submerged under water during the heating process as the warmer fills to the top, so I'm not sure if it is a good idea.

I guess you could. I would wash out the metal cup afterwards, but I don't believe it would hurt the system. I don't have the user's manual though, so I can't advise as to what they recommend.
