I guess so. I am Vegan so don't use dairy, but I use it every day for water and soup. My son has cooked hot dogs in his. I hope this helps.

As soon as the milk comes to a boil the pot will automatically shut off. It is very easy to clean unlike other tea kettles, it has a smooth metal on the inside.

I wouldn't. The bottom surface area is small so it would get very hot very quickly. With the frother the heat conducts outwardly to the container quickly as the milk heats. If you heat it from the outside in the milk might not warm before the unit becomes unmanageably hot.

You can just heat the milk in microwave then froth the milk in the mug! So simple works great!

You shouldnt be warming breastmilk with boiling water in the first place. Its supposed to be warmed under luke warm water otherwise boiling it destroys the vitamin content. I warmed my breastmilk by warm tap water and then put it in the bottle. Also to get the nipple warm and to smell like me i placed it under my breast until i was ready to add the milk.

We use raw milk as well. I would not destroy the milk by boiling it! Have been doing it for more than a year without any problems. Yogurt is not as thick but we got use to the texture and taste. Good luck.

No, I wouldn't chance it. I would heat the milk however you like (gas stove or microwave), then pour the heated milk in the pitcher and froth. It's an amazing little gadget that froths milk perfectly for a fraction of what you'd pay for a fancy electric one. Makes great Lattes and Cappuccino.

I heat my milk in the microwave or stove top in a separate pan or cup then put it in this frother. I don't think I would use it on a stove top.

That would be a very bad idea, IMO. It's not meant to function as a milk steamer, and you'd almost certainly gum up the works, perhaps beyond repair. Personally, I heat my milk in the microwave; doesn't froth it of course but gives it a nice flavor.

Sure, that is all I use. It works best if you warm up the milk on the stove until it steams but do not let it boil!

It's not safe to do this; the handle woud get too hot. Use a ceramic cup to warm your milk in the microwave instead!

You can have either hot milk or cold milk. There's only one button. To get hot milk you simply fill to the max line, plug it in, put the lid on and press the button. It stirs and heats up the milk. If you use the whisk attachment, you'll get more foam. If you use the smaller attachment, you will have much less foam for lattes.

Hi Michael, Yes, you do have to heat the milk(not boil) before placing it into the unit for cooking. We suggest heating it with a double boiler method until it reached 185 degrees, and then letting it cool to about 100-110 degrees. This will kill all the excess bacteria that might interfere with the cooking process but keeps all the good ones that we need to create more yogurt!

Yes there is a hot water spout that can be used for hot water only by removing the milk container and inserting the water spout attachment.

Yes it heat and foamed the milk but mine only lasted a few months and then quit working. I wouldn't buy it again. Wasn't worth it.

The container says its your own preference. Milk or water. I use hot water more so. You can even make ICE CHAI with it ,which I like in the summertime ;-p

Although I have never done so, the airpot should act as any thermos-like pot and preserve the temperature of the liquid it contains, so I believe the answer is yes. I would temper the pot with cold water for a period of time prior to using it for the milk.
