I wouldn't. It's just plastic and it might melt to your pot/pan. If you are looking for something to help stop boil overs, try Kuhn Rikon Kochblume Spill Stopper sold by Amazon.

Yes--I probably wouldn't put boiling water in it, but we used warmed water in it a couple of times when we needed/wanted hotter water.

I don't think you can. I used it to brew kombucha. If you would put it into boiling water it may crack. I'm sorry that I'm not sure

I wouldn't do it. The kettle is for heating water only, with various temperature settings for different beverages. And different types of teas. Hope this helps.

I do think the little Anchor Hocking bowls would tolerate being used in a water bath in the oven or being set into a pan of very hot/almost boiling water on the stove (use as a mini-double-boiler), as the glass is thick, tempered glass. I would think you could put melting chocolate or chocolate chips in one of the bowls and set the bowl into a pan of hot water to get the candy to melt. I think my daughter has used them in this way when melting small quantities of coating chocolate. Sometimes she needs just a little bit of another color for contrast when decorating cake pops.

This would not be a problem. These are made of tempered glass, like Pyrex, and can handle quick temperature changes, in my experience. Barring a particularly faulty bowl, this would not be an issue.

You can place hot items such as soups in this bowl. I have put the bowl in the microwave with no problems.

This pot is not intended for stove top use. You are supposed to boil the water in sonething else then pour it into this pot to make your tea.

I wouldn't try it. If you just boil water and slowly poor over loose tea you tea pot will work great.

I'm sure you could pour boiling water into it with no harm, but if you are using it for sous vide cooking it doesn't matter. The temperatures used for sous vide are far lower.

I haven't tried it but if it was something I needed to do regularly, I would risk one bowl to find out. I really think you could but can't promise. I guess I haven't put anything super hot in them, maybe cereal and hot soup. I definitely wouldn't put anything hotter than boiling water, 212 F, though.

There is no reason to, it is super conductive. I was using the medium pot on low the other day and the food inside was boiling - not just simmering. If you do use high heat the bottom of the pot/pan will oxidize leaving all sorts of fun colors (this is not harmful to your food, but probably not good for the pan in the long term.) Medium high is plenty high for boiling water, and medium is plenty high for cooking food.

I haven't used mine yet. However, I did buy two other tea pots from here and they were perfectly fine after pouring the boiling water over the teabags. I'm sure it would be fine. To make sure, I would start out with allowing the water to cool for a little while (at least one minute) before pouring, and or just pour a little at a time to see what happens.

I would think you could... It will take a lot for a pot this size to boil water.

Sorry....never have used in double boiler....but if you mean to melt chocolate or something like that.....I would use it for that purpose....Pyrex can take boiling water....hope that helps.

I do believe that you can, as I had a turkey fryer full of boiling water going on it - that's bigger than the usual canning pot. There is an adapter you can buy if your pot is not magnetic, but it's only about 6" wide.
