how does this pot heat water? Induction? Regular heating element in the base?

The heating element is in the bottom of the kettle, not in the plug in base. If you look carefully at the photo of the base, the part with the plug on it, you'll see the electrical connections. The bottom of the kettle has corresponding electrical connections. The plug in base gets a little warm from the radiant heat from the kettle, but does not get hot.

The heating element is the flat base plate on the inside of the water container. It is not all exposed.

It is not being used on an induction stove, in fact I didn't know what an inductive stove was ! This is basically like a regular pot, except it has the spout and guage on it, and it works very well for brewing (on the regular electric stove anyway)

This pot is stainless steel. Stainless steel is usually not induction capable. However, to my surprise it did get warm on our induction cooktop, but only mildly. I suspect that there is an inner layer of steel which will get warm, but since the outer layer is stainless the coupling is not good. This means that it may work OK, but it will likely not get very hot.

Hi, there is a metal/steel at the bottom inside the pot, I believed it's a heat element.

Just fill it with water and turn it to keep warm or boil. It gets the water hot and and it actually stays hot on the keep warm setting. This is a very poweful appliance. I use it all the time and I love the way it works.

this pot is aluminum and not induction ready, only stainless that is magnetic will function on induction. Galen S.

It heats the water. There are actually two switches. One switch brings the water to a rapid boil. Then you can turn that switch off and turn on the switch for just keeping the water hot. It keeps the water very hot! This product is one of the largest and best urns I've ever owned. Very pleased with it.

This pot is intended to be placed inside a large pot containing water. You place the cooker with rice ( or ? ) and water without the ceramic lid into the large pot, cover the pot to create a steamy environmentyou cook the rice.I don't know if you can put the ceramic cooker on an induction cooktop. I hope this information was helpful. I really like my rice cooker.and I love the little ritual of washing the rice and taking

The heating element is on the bottom, the pot sits on top of it and when you pour the hot water out of it, you lift it off the heating element it is cordless.

Sorry to reply so late; I've been away. The heating element is covered. It is inside the stainless-steel bottom of the pot. The little pipe running up the side near the handle is, I think, the temperature sensor to determine when water is boiling (sensing steam), and shutting off the heating element.

Basically the pitcher acts as a double boiler. You can use a smaller pot instead, but the pitcher makes it easier and cleaner as it has the pouring spout and a handle (that doesn't seem to get hot either, so far). You fill a larger pot about 1/2 way with water, place it on a stove burner (or whatever heating element you choose), and the put the pitcher inside the pot with water, slowly melting the wax (stir frequently). I use approx med-hi heat to start and then adjust up or down accordingly. Then you just pour from the pitcher into your decided containers and there ya go. Hope that helps. :)

The base plugs into the wall, fill the pot with water turn the switch on that is on the handle & it quickly heats the water & then shuts off, I am not sure how long it stays hot as I only use it for a cup or two of liquid & then drain the pot.

I think the heating element is the bottom, similar as electric kettle.The top of the blade (white plastic) will not touch the surface of the water when the blade is not rotating. However I guess when the blade is working, some water will splash on it.

The heating element is in the base. I usually allow the unit to cool a bit after using it but the hose is quite thick and remember... you're dealing with hot oil if you don't let it cool! I have had no issues with this unit and recommend it.

Other commenter is correct. I tested with a magnet also and it did not stick, therefore this pot will not work with induction.

None...no real heat produced...you have to keep adding warm water to it....cools off right away
