With the lid and basket removed, is it microwavable to heat water?

I have microwaved it before without any bad repercussions, but I'm not certain you're supposed to.

Short answer, no. The bottom of the thermos is metal, so it wouldn't do well in a microwave. It's best to use a stovetop or electric kettle.

I probable would not put in microwave since it is double pane glass/plastic.

I'm not sure, I've never really tried that. I just boil my water in a tea pot. I will tell you that I have purchased this for three people, as well as myself. That's how much I like it.

yes... it is super light weight and therefore heats up really fast... I use it as a small fryer and the oil heats to 350 in under 5 mins. the basket is great for frying as you don't have to fish anything out with a slotted spoon. buy this pot, it'll change your life.

No, it is like a small pressure cooker inside the reservoir. Open it when hot, and there is a problem with escaping vapors and ultra hot materials that will/could melt or deform without the water.

It says on the packing it's microwavable. I've boiled water in it in the microwave many times with no problem. I really like this 8 cup measuring cup.

No. Take the lid off before microwaving. Then put it back on afterwards (even right afterwards is okay: I put the lid back on so I have something cool to carry the container by).

I don't know for sure. The instructions call for microwave. It could be that water wouldn't get as hot.

Yes you can. I personally have one & I put mine in the microwave to bring water to a bowl when I am cooking.

Gosh, most glassware is, but I wouldn't put the lid in there. (I don't recommend microwaving anything.)

YES! The handle folds down and the lid can also be put on while boiling the water (I only use it as a near perfect vegetable cooker, so don't know how it might work for deep fat frying). The basket stores nicely inside with the lid on.

My husband microwaved ours and didn't know about unsnapping the lid. The plastic ring in the lid is now warped and it no longer snaps on. I you open the lid and move it askew so that the steam can escape, you'd probably be ok.

The way this boiler is made there really isn't a way that the metal interior can be exposed to the microwave unless the lid is left off. This is a well-designed product that I have been using for almost a year with no problems. I recommend it.

It was a gift so i havent tried but it is a glass mug made for hot liquids so i dont see why it wouldnt be microwavable.

Yes it is. I bought this for my camper and we do not have a microwave in it. You just have to remember to measure the water with the blue part so you don't end up pouring to much in and having boiling hot water over flow out the spout.

Yes. I wouldn't put it in the microwave for long, if you do, but I do put warm drinks in mine.

That is not how it's meant to be used. You could put it in a micro but that would be no different than using any microwavable covered bowl. You would also have to remove the handle as it is attached with metal.

Not designed to be microwavable, but we do for short time to thaw food, etc without noticeable damage.

I wouldn't even try to microwave it. The honey in mine crystallized and when I tried to pull open the lid it broke. That is how delicate the pot is. It is blown glass and very breakable.
