I do not have a microwave. Can you heat it in a regular oven or immerse in boiling water?

Hi Folks...this is John Lucas. I make and sell the Face Caddy. The gel packs are made to go in a microwave or hot water. We recommend microwave if you have one, so you don't have to handle the hot packs out of hot water. If you use a microwave, you can put the packs in the Face Caddy and throw the whole thing in there to heat. No handling of hot gel packs! Perfect.

I sent an e-mail to Caddy Wraps with this same question and I was told you can heat the packs in hot water (and he advised to wear gloves when putting them in the face caddy because it'll be really hot). I'm going to try it (probably not *boiling* but just hot water)

I don't recommend heating it in the oven or boiling water. It contains two gel packs and I think they might come apart in boiling water, but I think you might be able to dip them into warm water. You don't want them to be boiling hot anyway. They would be too hot to handle and would be too hot for your face.

I don't think so because the pouch may melt. Check at facecaddy.com for more information.

I have never melted this in the microwave, I've only used a double boiler. But, it seems like you should be able to.

I searched through the manual and I don't see a way to do that. Do what I do and just pour into a mug then microwave ;)But yeah, fresh is of course better!

I wouldn't recommend warming the pot in any way except filling it with hot water. Don't put cold water in it and put it in a microwave. I wrecked one that way.

I don't microwave plastic. I'm sure you can but you risk leaching chemicals and melting the thing. If you're looking to disinfect it then you can use boiling water or rinsing with rubbing alcohol (this is what I do).

Ooooops, was I supposed to microwave it? I obviously didn't read the directions. I have been using it for weeks without any problems. Hope that helps

Yes you can heat water in the microwave in the teapot. I also have a sunbeam hot shot that is great for heating single serve up to 2 cups of water.

The alternative is to place in a boiling pan. I find the microwave to be the best choice. Variar remember that you can place in the freezer.

Absolutely. In fact, that is the only way I have ever used it. I don't have a microwave oven, just a kettle and a gas stove. No need to wait to cool either.

If you try putting this teapot in the microwave, the outside layer will get incredibly hot and the heat won't penetrate too well into the interior of the pot, like other dark shiny ceramic containers. The traditional way of making tea is to boil a kettle of water and pour the hot water into the teapot. You can use a little of the hot water to pre-warm the pot.

That's a good question. However, I don't see how you can heat it evenly at proper temperature without a microwave. It just does not make logical sense to me. The microwave will heat it to proper temperature using only 25 to 30 seconds. Also, I have found this to be a superior product.

Use this as you would any other pan - on stovetop or in the oven...be sure you have enough liquid in it so it doesnot catch and burn on the bottom. This is not a very heavy pan, so I use it like any regular pot. No special temperature considerations.

This is probably overkill but you certainly do not need to microwave it in the pouch. You can certainly Prepare it as follows per the directions on the product description page: "Do not use conventional oven, Do not consume if pouch is leaking or swollen. Directions Microwave 1-2 minutes: 1. Tear pouch and contents into a microwave-safe bowl. 2. Cover loosely and heat on high for 1-2 minutes (ovens vary; cooking time is approximate). 3. Stir and serve. Stove top 5 Minutes: 1. Boil water in saucepan. 2. Immerse pouch in boiling water for 5 minutes". Lot's if options. While most people microwave it in the pouch and then pour it into the bowl or container they'll be consuming it from, there's absolutely nothing wrong with first pouring it into a microwave safe bowl or contained, then loosely cover (I like to use wax paper), and you're good to go.

You can heat water in the warmer without a pan. So you can use it like a sous vide. But if you cook anything directly in the warmer it would be too difficult to clean

A microwave oven, probably 20-40 seconds, depending on the power of the oven. It should stay warm for at least 10 minutes. A possible alternative is a hot water bath.

It is not recommend. Product is rated up to 110 degree Celsius (water boils at 100 degree Celsius). Food can get hotter than that in a microwave.

You don't need to microwave it - it is ready to eat. It is glazed with some kind of a syrup and is mixed with peanuts.
