Can you boil water on a high setting using this kettle?

Yes you can but I would start at high but then turn it down. Be careful when pouring water. Steam can burn your hand. All in all it is a good kettle.

Yes. But I don't recommend the kettle. Poor design causes hot steam to reach fingers when pouring.

i did. the kettle cracked in just 4 months. i don't know if it was from high heat or a defect in the glass.

You can set the temperature from anywhere up to 212 degrees. However, since this kettle is expensive and it started leaking after a couple of years, I don't recommend buying it.

Hi Deborah, as I said in my review the full kettle set to the highest temperature takes 6 minutes to come to a full boil. Lesser amounts of water or lower temperature settings will take a shorter time. I don't know if geographic location is an issue for you. I am located about in the middle of the United States.Judy

Maybe you can, but you need to carefully clean up the kettle. However, I won't prefer.

You can set this kettle to go to any temperature you want. So I suppose you could set it for 105°. Good luck.

I have found tht it takes awhile to get water to boil. It does heat evenly when cooking,. I don't usually còok using high heat.

My husband used ours over high heat on our Viking range (which is truly high). The kettle separated from the bottom coil unit when he picked it up. However, he put it right back on and it stayed together. Now we only use it over medium high heat. No further problems. A beautiful kettle

Hi Candy, The directions say not to directly boil the water in the pot. If you are just setting it on a wood stove to keep it warm that would be ok.

I do not believe that you can. This model only has the temperature settings which go from off to the very highest setting. I do love it regardless.

No - the flat bottom of the kettle is the hot surface. This is impossible to touch unless you have extraordinarily long fingers. On an unrelated note, the whistle is not loud enough to be heard in the next room

Yes you can cook on high. The pans do heat more slowly than other kinds of pans but that is the only difference I have noticed

Absolutely! Have been doing so for the last couple of months. Be aware that these pots transfer heat amazingly well. It may take some adjusting to. Where I previously would use a fairly high heat, I've now dialed back and rarely need to go any higher than a medium/medium-high setting on my stove. I've never needed to use high, EVER! Over all I'm very pleased with these pots and pans.

No, but then I don't use it on top of the stove. I pour hot water over tea in infuser. It's a good tea pot.

Yes, just do not close off the spout while boiling... This kettle reaches the boil soon compared to others. I love the whistle feature in terms of safety. I love this kettle.

There is no reason to, it is super conductive. I was using the medium pot on low the other day and the food inside was boiling - not just simmering. If you do use high heat the bottom of the pot/pan will oxidize leaving all sorts of fun colors (this is not harmful to your food, but probably not good for the pan in the long term.) Medium high is plenty high for boiling water, and medium is plenty high for cooking food.

Not sure what you are referring to. If you mean heat settings, there is no high and low, just plug it in and let it heat up.

No, to boil water on the stove you want a tea kettle. A teapot like this is for brewing tea in.
