What is the exact capacity of the item? I need to warm 2.8 liters (~3 quarts) of milk at a time and if it cannot do that, I have no use for it.

yes, I measured the capacity...3 qts. comes up to the top of the pan, with no room to spare, so if you have to stir it, you would have to take care not to go over the side of the pan...good luck, Howard

You could warm three quarts of milk in it but it would be pretty full. I use mine to make yogurt, and I put six cups of milk in it. This fills it about half way (1 quart equals 4 cups). So three quarts would be 12 cups - that would be pretty darn full.

The bottom pan is 3 quarts. For your purposes, you might want to select something closer to 5 quarts.

I use this to strain yogurt which I make in a two quart Yogotherm. It will hold more than a quart--about 5 to 5 1/2 cups initially. But if you're willing to let the whey drain off for 15-30 minutes, you can eventually add a full 8 cups (2 quarts).

The capacity is only a bit more than 1/2 cup.It is a very good product. I don't know of anything else that would meet your need.

We use ours in the Dr. Brown's bottle warmer that heats the same way. We heat a cold bottle straight from the fridge for 3 minutes. I use the sealing disk on the bottle instead of the nipple. I don't think the bottle gets uncomfortably hot. The milk doesn't get too hot.

I haven't measured the capacity, but I'd say 6.5 quarts is right. I've had it full nearly to the lid line with no problems. I left in on low for 7-8 hours one day on black beans while I was gone, no problems. teh ONLY problem so far is a slight scratch in the non-stick coating in the insert, even though I've been very careful not to use metal in it. Might be from the browning I have done in the insert before slow-cooking, which is the best feature of this cooker.

I never fill it all they way to the top, but I think it would hold two quarts. It is easier to process the food at about half full so it doesn't spill out. I use it to make jellies and find using the smaller amount, you can stop and clean out the pulp between batches.

I used it for 2-3 years microwaving milk because my espresso steamer stopped working, so I would microwave my milk to warm it and then froth it. Perhaps you are frothing too much volume of milk? I used 2% and whole with rechargeable batteries and it still works today.

I don't know. But I usually put a pinch for one liter of milk. It works fine. And repeat get one teaspoon of yogurt for two or times to make more yogurt!

It limits. I have a device that pulls to much and it just stays warm, while only drawing max of 6 watts from the wall. I calculated this at 1.17 amp, which is as advertised. Used it a couple days at max (waiting for the 3 amp unit to arrive) and it didn't crap out.

It's alright. Does not get the milk too hot or too cold. Kind of a small. I had to do two cups to fill my thermos.

I also saw in the instructions to turn off for one hour every few days. I turn it off once in awhile, normally on the weekend when I clean it out. It works well, keeps things very cold. Haven't tried to use the warmer. I don't know exact dimensions and I keep it at work. All I can say is I make Quart size Mason Jar salads and it fits in there well with plenty of room above it standing up right and room for a few soda's or other snacks as well which is just what I wanted :) VERY happy

I always heat the milk to about 180 (in the microwave) before making yogurt and then let it cool down to around 100 - 110 before adding the starter. I've never tried not heating the milk.

Yes, I have. It works just fine. I warmed the milk because you can either froth milk using cold OR hot, depending on your preference. I LOVE this frother!!

I do not believe this would serve your purpose. And seeing as how this newer version is not a well built as the one I purchased years ago, I would recommend you not purchase this thermos for the purpose you stated, to heat milk for your baby when on-the-go.

Sorry, I actually returned my machine. I didn't think it got the milk hot enough (I use a thermometer typically). Where I live I have to descale pretty regularly (I now have a Giro - it tells me when to do it). But I think regardless of your water source the repeated boiling of water creates a buildup whether or not there's a water filter in place (not sure about that).

Hi Mohamed. We used it for hot chocolate. It stayed very warm for 30 mins. It fell apart after 3 uses.

The box states "1.2L" capacity BUT also states that the "practical capacity" is 0.8L. If you fill it to the top with 1.2L of water, it will overflow as soon as you start to heat the water.
