Can this bring water to a boil? And if it does will it release pressure safely?

Don't believe so as there are warnings against leaving out too long. There is a certain amount of pressure relief and a caution to leave some space in the bottle, not fill it all the way up.

Yes, it can. It also has a pressure release valve on the top. It does need some good sun and a bit of time to boil. And, of course, the warmer the day, the faster it will boil. We haven't tried it on a cold sunny day yet. But I'm confident it will work. The water does get hot.

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

Connecting to a pressure source like a sink tap is not the intended use. This has a manual pump for pumping non-potable water in an emergency situation. It is said to even be able to pump water from a creek and make it safe to drink. It has a limitation on how much water it can safely purify but I purchased this pump for emergency water usage only.

I did submerge heating rod when I washed it but I don't know how it will work ander pressure. Never tried. I do have separate pressure cooker. Anyway seal never worked that mean it will not pressurize when you cook stew or soup.

To be honest I'm not sure, but I don't see why not. You can always use the "old fashion" method of boiling water as well.

No, that would damage it. This pot is designed to steep loose tea. According to this tradition, boil water in a kettle or saucepan on the cook top & then drizzle the boiled water thru infuser to fill pot. This is a wonderful teapot if you use loose tea (black, green, etc.) and offers the advantages of the removable infuser, which can be hard to find. The infuser holds the tea & can be extracted from pot when tea has steeped the desired number of minutes, leaving you to enjoy your brew at your leisure, without it becoming bitter from over-steeping.

What about the water level indicator? Doe not that come in contact with boiling water?

I guess you could. There's nothing specifically I can think of that would prevent this from working, but it is definitely outside the parameters by which it was designed. I think if I were going to use it, my primary means would be to use a simple pot to boil water and put the boiling water into it, as it's designed to function. If that is not an option, then I would at least put some type of metal plate between it and the open flame to protect the finish. Obviously, if you don't care about the finish, then just put it directly over the flame.

No, unfortunately. Be very mindful when boiling water. I had to buy a new kettle because I forgot about it on the stove and holes were burned into the copper. I still love this kettle though. Just have to pay attention.

Yes. I just open the lid and manually pour water in. It automatically begins boiling after you pour water in and close the lid.

i don't think you can put boiling water into the steamer. the steamer heats it. if you want to boil your water first to distill it let it cool off completely before using in the machine. i hope this is helpful!

I wouldn't.....there is no way for it to stay on a boiling pot.....the pressure will find a way to escape and there goes your "lid."

It's plastic; so adding boiling water is going to leach something. How much I cannot tell you, maybe nearly nothing, maybe a lot. I can definitely recommend that you don't use this for boiling water unless it's a life-or-death situation. This is a canteen made for drinking water that's normally not above room temp. It's best utilization is as such.

It should be safe for boiling water. I pour boiling water into mine every day. According to the manufacturer's web site: "... Made in Taiwan with Tritan, a plastic specially-formulated to be safe in hot-temperature applications and is 100% BPA-free"

The one problem we have with these is that people use too much water. This is a case where less is more. If you add too much water, it dolutes the chemicals and you don't get any heat. If you add a little too much, it won't get to boiling. So yes, they can get to boiling, but most people add too much water. And it's the water in them that boils. I have never heard of someone using them to boil a larger container of water. Any chemical reaction has a certain amount of potential energy. If that energy is less than the amount needed to boil your quantity of water, your water won't boil. So theoretically you could use several of these to boil a pan of water. But basically, one packet will make you a piping hot 12oz mug of coffee. Enough for stew or a whole pot of coffee? Probably not.

You can pour in water right off the boil. Just don't put it on a stove burner. :)

This is a teapot for holding tea, not for boiling water. You'll still need a kettle for that.The handle doesn't get hot when using it for serving.
