Does the water remain hot for a while if not used immediately upon boiling?

Yes it does. I remove mine from heat once it's boiling and it remains hot throught my third- fourth cup of tea.

Yes; I would buy another. Farberware has a very good long history of being an excellent-standing brand..

Another comment about it. In response to Gloria's complaint about it not whistling, I bought it specifically because it does not whistle and love it for that reason. To each his or her own. No offense Gloria

The water stays hot for approximately 10 minutes; that is, hot enough for a cup of tea or coffee. I'm not sure how long you're looking for, but if you kept the burner on, I'm sure the water would stay hot for much longer. Just remember, when you are done using the kettle, it should be emptied to avoid any rusting on the inside. I love my little kettle...I just wished it whistled.

I have not used it enough to answer your question. Sorry. However, I wouldn't have any problem leaving it on the stove on a very heat.

There is only the sound of boiling water for a few seconds and then it shuts off. Shouldn't be a problem.

As soon as the water reaches a rolling boil, the unit shuts off and stops heating, so one could say that the water begins to cool at that very point. It is not a thermal carafe, so the water will eventually cool off. However, it literally takes only seconds for the water to reach a boil again if the user switches it back on. We've been quite pleased with this unit and actually wish we'd bought it or one like it sooner.

Yes - it shuts off automatically after it reaches temperature, or after 1 hour if the "hold" feature is selected. I believe it also shuts off if it boils dry, but I have not put it to that test yet.

Yes. Absolutely! It's good for one slight boil in hot water. It works pretty good for a brief moment, then definitely needs replacing.

It actually keeps it at simmer state continuously so the water is pretty much at boiling state without going too crazy.

I've placed a hot pot on it, but only for a few minutes, for example, when I've poured out hot pasta water. But I don't know what would happen if you left a hot pot on it for more than a few minutes. Hope this helps.

No. It does get to a full boil then turns itself off. I love it. I don't like my water super hot so I just turn the button off when it starts to get bubbles on the bottom.

No. If you keep the handle in the upright direction it gets warm but not too hot. If you have the handle bent to the side while boiling it does get hotter, but can still be touched

I have boiled mine.. and I have not. No noticeable difference although when you boil a bunch of it at a time it does release stuff into the water whether it is natural stuff or not. I usually boil for 5 mins. dump water out and boil again for a few minutes.

Yes, the metal gets very hot because the water is boiling. There is no need to touch the metal but one cannot use it near young children or anyone who cannot understand to refrain from touching the metal.

It has a warm setting when the cook time is supposedly done but on that warm setting stuff still boils unfortunately. I have had two and it happened on both.

Even if only half of the boiling water, its warm-keeping effect as well. We did the test, after 4 hour the temperature to 91 C after 8 hour the temperature to 78 C after 12 hour the temperature to 65 C Of course, there may be differences in actual use.

It stays warm as the bottom part of the pot keeps the water at boiling temperature. This is not necessarily a good thing since it causes over brewing.

It is all dependent on how hot your water is. With hot tap water, it stays *hot* for 30minutes or so. Then it is just warm.

Yes, but as one reviewer for another HB kettle noted, it doesn't actually work until the water has pretty much boiled away.

Absolutely. Even when it's at full boil (after adding fresh water or hitting re-boil), it's only slightly warm on the outside. You do need to be careful when opening the top, however, to keep your arm away from the opening.
