Can you heat the milk in this container over the stove?

I probably wouldn't. I heat mine in the microwave and haven't had any problems.

I can only speak to heating milk for coffee. It works very well, heating the milk to 150 degrees.

YES! The directions with the unit say that all you do need to is add 1/2 cup dry milk to the recipe and you will NOT need to heat the milk on the stove. I have never heated milk and my yogurt turns out perfect every time. Adding the dry milk is the key to not having to heat it.

Yes, and I actually do this quite often. You do this by using the frother. I usually place the cocoa or chocolate syrup in the cup first, and froth the milk over it while I stir. My kids love to have their "cappucinos" along with Mom. Normally I don't think the milk gets hot enough, but I do tend to like my foods and beverages on the hotter side. For the kids sometimes I throw in half an ice cube after to let it cool down a bit.

I should not even try it. Metals in microwave are dangerous. I heat the milk in a regular cup and then pour on the stainless steel cup

I see no reason for not being able to warm milk directly in the unit. I would leave the frother out of the vessel when doing so. Be careful when handling vessel--it is on stovetop and it is not insulated--it will get hot.

No, I think that would be a real mess. What I would recommend is this Breville product: http://www.brevilleusa.com/milk-cafe.html It is made to specifically heat milk.

No. I tried it but it comes to a boiling point so it's hard unless you are right there and turn it off as soon as you see it about to boil. None of the electric tea kettles are able to heat milk without scorching because it was designed to boil.

I don't think so. I think somewhere in the instructions or descriptions it says not to put it on the stovetop. The teapot is very thin, in my opinion, that is why a little warmer is able to heat it so well.

No, it gets too hot and would scald the milk at the bottom. You'd have to scrape off the burned part every time. Plus, not recommended by the mfg.

No, but you can't heat the bottle in the microwave either. I have to heat milk in a measuring cup and then pour it in the bottle. It's a pain to do, but that's how much my kids love this cup!

It is a double walled container, so heating it from outside would not efficiently heat the internal contents.The short answer is NO.

Milk always creeps up on you. If it doesn't foam over the sides and get burned into the pores of the pot, you might be safe. But why would you choose this for milk? Cast iron is not meant to be quick heating and sometimes it slightly changes the color of things cooked in it. Milk would be especially vulnerable.

A milk frother used high pressure steam to heat and froth. Seriously doubt this would work.

My experience has been - I have a small whip that fits in my cup and I eke th whip moving quickly as I pour th milk in! I heaT th milk in th Microwave for 2 min- 10 sec - (i use Soy milk)

Absolutely. The little pitcher is glass, and it separates from the whisk. I usually warm my milk for 30 seconds. Works great.

Although I have never done so, the airpot should act as any thermos-like pot and preserve the temperature of the liquid it contains, so I believe the answer is yes. I would temper the pot with cold water for a period of time prior to using it for the milk.
