Can you Boil water in this pot?? they say to only use medium or low heat with these pans, can you get a rolling boil going?

Yes, we do it with no problem. These are the best pots and pans we've ever used.
1545687
You can use these pans as you would any others. I use them for every method of cooking and absolutely love them.
1545688
Yes, you can! I have used it with high heat, too! It is the best pot I have ever had.

On my gas stove my pot gets a rolling boil when I make soup and use medium to low heat. So I think you should be able to easily boil water in it. I still love my pot and use it even when making relatively small amounts of food.

I heat water on stove top. Probably should ck with manufacturer about micro use. I do love mine!

The one problem we have with these is that people use too much water. This is a case where less is more. If you add too much water, it dolutes the chemicals and you don't get any heat. If you add a little too much, it won't get to boiling. So yes, they can get to boiling, but most people add too much water. And it's the water in them that boils. I have never heard of someone using them to boil a larger container of water. Any chemical reaction has a certain amount of potential energy. If that energy is less than the amount needed to boil your quantity of water, your water won't boil. So theoretically you could use several of these to boil a pan of water. But basically, one packet will make you a piping hot 12oz mug of coffee. Enough for stew or a whole pot of coffee? Probably not.

They're hard plastic, so I would use soap and water. Probably not boil them. (I didn't really use them much because they were too hard and uncomfortable for me.)

To be honest, the "warm" function will completely reduce a boil to nothing. That being said, leaving it on 1 may be too hot for it still. It's a limitation of a $50 induction cook top. but for such an inexpensive one, I can't complain. They've lasted a year without issues for the two of them that we have and use.

I am not sure. I suppose you could but I don't think you could get enough water in the bottom. You might end up boiling the ones on the bottom. Does that make sence?

I heat mine with a small crockpot, it is for sauces and this crockpot came with my larger crockpot, works great! Just adjust the amount of water, depending on how hot you want them, the more water, the hotter they seem to get!

If you input this model name into the web and ask for owners manual you should be able to print out the operating instructions, otherwise all that is required is to plug it in and select a temp setting or use a number between one and ten with one being the lowest and then just adjust from there. We normally use 10 to boil water quick otherwise use it between 3 and 4 and it should do just fine without getting overly hot.

I use it for homebrewing and heat up approximately 7 gallons in a stainless steel kettle. It will bring it to boil but it takes in about two hours and no it's not a rolling boil but a light simmer

Yes you can, but if that's all you want to do you'd be better off buying a teapot or something of that sort. The handles heat up so much so that's it's to hot to touch when boiling, liquid. Great coffee maker though

Cast iron wouldn't be your best pot to use, as it takes so long to heat up. You can use any dark pan, you just want it to be able to heat quickly.

I am not sure about boiling water. They do hold up in Temps of 170 for several hours.

I think the manufacturer warns against heatinhg them up too hot. I don't use high heat with this pot on my induction stovetop. I also didn't use high heat on my ceramic electric cooktop.

Whereas you cannot use water inside, I would say no. Generally stones reserve heat best when heated from warmth of water! I have a mini crock pot I use!

I don't see why you couldn't but are you aware that a lot of teas should never be put into boiling water? A lot of teas actually are recommended to be done at lower temperatures. I'm not trying to solicit but I am part of a company that does sell loose leaf tea and there is a tea app if you have an apple or android cell phone that you can download for free. Go to your app store and look up Tealightful It has a lot of great information about all types of tea.

yes but it may take a take a little longer. I have always cooked on low, so maybe high would boil faster. Really like it, and liked my old ones too.They just wore out.

There is no minimum fill for this pot. I usually fill up to where it won't boil over if I let it get that hot, I guess you could fill right up to the brim if you wanted to or just to cover the bottom of the pot.I would think that you would have to put some kind of liquid in it, it is not a frying pan.It is a great pot and I have never regretted getting it.
