sorry tosound dumb but this is shaped like a pot can i use it to cook apples in it and then mill?

Maybe if you use the food mill as the top of a double boiler. Otherwise the apple juice would just go through the holes in the bottom of the food mill.

No ? Ever silly. Its NOT a pot. Bottom is preferated so as to mash food through it. To puree / liquify it. Its high quality ss but not for cooking. You put cooked foid in it after in order to retexture it or seperate skins / pulp / seeds from it for serving or canning purposes. Blessings.

I don't see how you could cook in it since it has the disks on the bottom and they all have holes (of varying sizes).

Sorry, no. There's no bottom to it other than the grater plate so it'd ooze through as you warmed it.

YES,, You have to lower the blade and adjust it to just touch the side of the apple,,as you turn it just peels and cores all in one!! Works great! Wife got this for Christmas and we used it to peel potatoes and spiral slice some also!!

It definitely has a flat bottom. I have a glass top induction cook top, and pans have to be flat and magnetic. This pot is both. I suspect a canning rack would fit. I did not use it for canning. I used it for three chickens to make chicken broth and then soup to feed 50 people!.

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

I don't see why not, but I am no expert. I found the pot to b way too small for cooking. If u want to buy mine, email me. U can have it "cheap" assuming I can ship it cheap, if u know what I mean.

You can, but you probably won't like the result. There's a reason why these come in different sizes. They rely on fixed amounts of water and grounds. I have a friend who has two - one this size and a smaller one - trying to make a smaller batch in a bigger pot - undrinkable, like dirty socks and burnt rubber. Best bet is make a full pot and dump out what you don't drink

Yes, I have used this attachment for both tomatoes and making applesauce. You do not have to cook the tomatoes. Just cut them up and push them through. I have sometimes ran the "skins/seed" that come out the small hole in the front a second time to get a little more pulp out and this works great. You do have to cook your apples if you want to make a smooth applesauce using the appliance. Again - no peeling or coring - just cook the apples. If you have more questions, I'd be happy to answer them. It is a great attachment and I've already gotten my money's worth out of it - made over 30 jars of spaghetti sauce and plain tomato sauce and 50 jars of applesauce - it worked great on everything!

No, don't think it would be good for that. You can buy an apple corer on Amazon for the purpose.

I doubt it because it only peels the vry round apples well. Apples shaped like delicious apples do not peel well at all.

No it is going to take the center out of it so no you cant but it is good on apples just used it last night to do a bag of granny smith apples love it.

I have never tried that, but don't see why not. It won't hurt the pot or the wedge. I wouldn't let it sit long periods of time since water will rust both.........but to cook it that way shouldn't be a problem for either. Give it a try on some old veggies that were in the fridge too long and see how it works.............The only problem that I do see is that the veggies might not be fully cooked before the water is evaporated since this doesn't stay very much above the water. Better to try a metal basket or collindar in a pot with a lid.... not plastic!!!

This pot is actually quite small for that task. It could be used for cooking potatoes, but boiling water in cast iron tends to rust them. If you are single you might have enough room to do your potatoes and mash them in the pot though. AND if you rinse and oil it after you are finished cooking with it, it should be okay, but a larger stainless steel pot might serve you better here. I love cast iron, but somethings aren't ideal in them. (IE: tomatoes takes the finish off)

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.

No.This kettle is only for boiling water.You can use the water to make whatever you want in a different container.

Yes you can, I did it sometimes but I used it more to make a flour for ma home made bread :-)

Yes you can. Just make sure you do not over fill. I use mine to make anything "bready".
