Will a standard grocery store plastic honey bear fit? And will it heat it up properly? I'm looking for an easy way to warm up some honey.

what are the dimensions? the smaller honey bear that you get in the store, that one for sure. the bigger one, I am not sure as I do not have one in the house right now.

I think so... :s You can always check the diameter of an advent bottle (they're wide and it fits perfectly). You can just go to a store to the baby isle and the honey isle and compare them.

The small size bottle will fit. I've tried to put the large size bottle (1 lb 8 oz) and it also fits but tight. As the water is not heated very high and your bottle is plastic, it will take a longer period of time to heat up.

No because the container itself is glass. I put hot water in the stand to warm the honey and then it comes out fine.

No, it would not work in honey. As a beekeeper, I can tell you that honey does not harden because it gets dry. Honey actually crystallizes because of the natural minerals and pollen contained in it. Honey never (yes, NEVER) goes bad-- you simply need to warm it up in a low temp oven, a pot of warm water (placing the jar in the water, not the honey), or in the microwave. I personally like it crystallized-- it's easier to spread on toast and spoon into hot tea! :)

Yes, it should be okay. It's not going to be like a Pyrex cup, but it has enough strength to hold up by itself, full or not, within reason...I wouldn't test it with boiling water or honey, but flour or sugar, sure.

I needed to know the same thing. By looking at the Brown Sugar Bear "Bun Warmer" description (same brand also sold on Amazon) I found instructions for heating in the oven. So I figured that would work for drying the Brown Sugar Bear to use for keeping my crackers crisp. I followed these instructions: "heat the bear in the oven @ 250 degrees for 10 minutes. Let it cool completely before placing it in a sealed container with the crackers, etc". It works like a charm! For keeping bread warm, heat the same way then immediately place the heated bear/s in the bottom of a lined serving basket or stoneware dish & place bread on top. I didn't find anything about this being microwave safe.

I just put my finger over the hole as I pull the top out. Also, on cold mornings, I pour hot water into the holder and it works beautifully to make the honey more pourable. I love mine.

For the heat to rise you need air. The waffle style Matt offers that. So yes, for it to work properly. I went to home depot and picked one up.

I did. I found one with a plastic cover. I reheated the hot pack about 3 hours after I placed it into carrier, and it kept my casserole warm. Worked perfectly.

It will should work ok for honey but I have to be honest never used it for that purpose.

I have not used mine for honey - but I suppose that it would work well, as long as the honey is in liquid form and not on the "solid-side." Personally, I would simply buy another Honey Bear with honey, and when empty, continue to re-use that ......... But this cap would work for honey.

Try emptying out the dispenser, cleaning the bottom and the top piece with hot water - then refill the top with honey and boil some water and put it in the bottom part. Put the honey filled part on top and let it sit for 5 minutes to warm the honey. After you are done using the dispenser, empty out the water in the lower part and refill it 5 minutes before using it the next time. That should do it. Remember also, you can dry the whole thing out completely if you like and you can put in dry sugar or sugar substitute inside and dispense sweetener that way if you don't want to do the honey thing... -Levon- Try emptying out the dispenser, cleaning the bottom and the top piece with hot water - then refill the top with honey and boil some water and put it in the bottom part.

Since it is made of glass, probably not. Warming the honey or using a thinner honey would work.

If you put them in plastic bag! In order to really seal a Mason jar, you'd have to have a specially designed top for the jar. Most things that you'd can need heat anyway, I believe you'd just be adding complexity for no benefit. The FoodSaver works great as designed....to seal food in plastic. Canning works great as designed....to seal heated/cooked food in glass/metal. The two processes are different enough that you do not want to mix them.

Yes it is suppose to be hard not like other honey. Should be able to use spoon to get honey out.

The warming basket is not much wider than a bottle. If I were warming food, I would place the jar or the pouch in the basket. You would not be able to warm the food in a bowl or any large container. Hope this helps.

They may get a little extra sticky. I would do a Kind bar or Lara bar instead. Maybe if you chilled them ahead of time they may hold a little better. They won't melt but the honey will definitely get stickier than they already are.

Do not cook it in microwave, it is pretty bad to heat this kind if plastic. That's why I buy the bag ones, then use my own bowl for it. Don't feed ur kids too much of it, it's real junk food. I like it, but I only eat this couple times a month.
