Yes, it can be heated in a pan. Bring pan of water to boil (enough water to thoroughly cover pack, but do not leave pack in water). Remove pan from heated stove top and submerge pack in hot water for 6-8 minutes. Remove pack from water with kitchen tong, and wipe dry. Using a thin hand towel wrap pack in towel and apply to area. Don't put hot pack directly on skin.

I have never microwaved it. I do not use it for 'heat', I only use it for COLD and it works wonderful with COLD!!! Sorry I could not help you further.

Yes. I prefer to brown it in a pan first just because it is a bit awkward to reach in the pot. I can brown more at a time in a skillet. I also like to run the fan/vent over the stove when browning.

Heat it up, not a problem. Keep it warm & not burm it, that depends on your pot and how attentive you are.

Yes you can, just added water and anything else you normally do - then bring the water to a boil. cook it as you would in any other pan ... just check it periodically and stir.

Yes it gets plenty hot. You shouldn't even need to turn it up much past medium for those two items.

That's a very interesting question. Julie Dalmation doesn't really care if her food is warm or at room temperature so this has never been an issue here in S.California. But if you are in a cold climate it would be very nice of you to warm up the food. Don't know why the bowl would not be safe in micro.

you could probably use another pot of the same size bottom, I have no clue how hot it gets...sorry

That is what I have been doing for two years and have had no problems. Remember it is very small and makes just over a cup of tea. Handle will get hot so need to use glove or pot holder.

Like any pan, it will be hotter where the heat source is, it does disperse pretty well though. I would recommend the lodge cast iron griddle instead. I have both and the lodge is easily my favorite

It gets hot but not hot enough to burn. I do not think it would be a good idea to be trying to move a pot of hot oil around even if the outside of the pot is cool.

Haven't had any issues with it heating up. I blend directly in pan for creating creamy soups and sauces. Try pulsing if you have heating problem when doing large quantities whether cold or hot.

I think this depends on how much oil you use and what you are cooking and if the oil splatters outside the pan onto the hot burner because this pan has very low sides. There can be some smoke and it can get a little messy.

when cooking in this pot be careful with heat. Don't set on high and leave or it will burn. Let cool before cleaning. My pan had no recipes either. Get on line for your favorite recipe and make things acordingly. Good luck. I love my pan for making chili in.

if you are doing herbs you need less heat. to do leather and fruits should be hotter. motor not less than 500.

I like the ceramic pot for cheese...the oil heat is too hot for most cheese...you don't want it to stick to bottom...Refer to your instructions again, I'm not home so I can ck mine...this is my preference.....PF

As for the comment about pan handles heating easily, that only happens when you put a small pot on a large burner , otherwise if pot is placed on right size burner there is no direct heat ca using handles to get hot.

Gas would heat pan evenly and faster because gas flame would fully contact with pan.Electric oven or range may work, but I never tried.
