Is it safe to warm up milk in it? The teachers use a crockpot at daycare to warm up the milk, will this be okay?

My experience has been that this cup leaks. I would especially say that it would leak through the spout upon temperature change. I put cold milk in the cup, it warms up on the counter and flows out like lava from a volcano. Same goes when it would cool back down. So although I think it would be safe to warm in the crockpot, it may flow out the top.

No I would not think it would be safe because it could melt the plastic . Also if they did the metal would become hot and possibly burn the child. I would recommend heating the liquid in something else then pour it in this cup.

Absolutely!! Works great! I have always put in foods that are left overs, and canned soups. I get to work by 8:00 and its always warm by 12:00. Though, one time I forgot to turn it on, so I realized it by 11:00, and at 12:30 the food was well warmed. I love this crock pot!

Short answer: Yes.Stainless steel is not significantly reactive in the presence of milk solids[1]. You should be able to store warm milk in this thermos. It will stay warm for several hours. Regular cleaning would be necessary, but no more difficult that cleaning milk off of anything else.Hope you have a nice winter season!

No, it is not microwave safe. For those who are unaware, you should never microwave food or drinks in plastic. When you microwave food or drinks in plastic, the plastic (along with all the toxins) leaches into the food/drink. For your child's safety, please do not do this with any sippy cups/bottles. I am shocked to see that people are unaware of this risk. This is a serious health hazard.

You shouldnt be warming breastmilk with boiling water in the first place. Its supposed to be warmed under luke warm water otherwise boiling it destroys the vitamin content. I warmed my breastmilk by warm tap water and then put it in the bottle. Also to get the nipple warm and to smell like me i placed it under my breast until i was ready to add the milk.

My daycare used a bottle warmer with these worked fine. At home I just warmed in a mug of warm/hot water. DO NOT microwave.

If you pump and bring cold breast milk places, this is good to heat bottles of breast milk. If your using bottles it's good basically. You can heat jars of food later too. I love it.

It depends on your baby. My baby prefers warm milk, but will drink it cold. To reheat just place in bowl of warm water or under hot faucet for a few minutes. You can also use a bottle warmer. Do not microwave.

Yes, you can use bottle warmer, I use it and I have no problem at all with the temperature and drop ins. But just to be careful if is breast milk, you could warm the breast milk in the bag before and then put it in the drop in. That's what I do.

I have not had a problem. I cook it until it is at the temp indicated on directions. It is not really boiling yet even though it says to boil. I have used 1% milk and cooked for about 6.5 hrs and it's been delicious. The best I've ever had!

No, I usualy warm the milk in the microwave but cooking to a specific temp (not realy boiling) before putting it in the yogurt maker is not required.

You can heat it in the microwave, but you want to remove the lid immediately afterward or the pressure will draw the lid down in tight and be really hard to remove. It is silicone, so it is microwave safe. the lid will not be hot either, but the food/steam will be! Hope this helps.

It is not really recommended, the handle would get very warm since the usual temperature of the milk should be warmed to 165 degrees. You would be better off with a small pot used for cooking since it has a handle made for that.

Booklet was inside the crock. Might want to check IF you can get one sent from customer service. Although any basic crock pot cookbook will probably tell you all you need to know. BTW, I no longer even know where my booklet is. Much safety information is common sense, too few recipes included to call it a useful cookbook for the crock pot in general. Most important... NEVER put cold water into a warm/hot crock... that MAY CRACK it so ALWAYS rinse or fill to soak with water similar in temperature to the crock itself, hot or cold. Also this removable crock is oven safe to about 350-400 degrees (lid is not)... and microwave safe but WHY? I cannot think of a reasonable need to use it in the microwave. NEVER place the crock on a stove top burner! And buy a good basic crockpot cookbook for small crockpots. A 3-quart crockpot is ample for cooking for 2 or 3 people but is small in comparison to some of the 5-quart and larger units for sale these days.

It's not safe to do this; the handle woud get too hot. Use a ceramic cup to warm your milk in the microwave instead!

You can take the crock out of the outer metal container that has the electric controls and put the crock in the microwave. I have never put the lid in the microwave. It may have a metal ring around it thus making it unsafe to do so.
