Last hot plate we bought was just that, hot plate or warmer. Will this get red hot eye's to boil water?

This is a terrific hot plate and it will definitely boil the water - much more quickly on the more powerful of the two burners. The big surprise for me, however, was that the "warming" burner is really effective for cooking. I thought it would be much weaker.

I have used it to heat up water but not brought it to a boil. Since it has cast burners, I don't think it will get red hot.

I bought this and love it. Both burners heat up nicely and boil water pretty quickly.

Yes, this will bring water to the boil, although the smaller, right-hand ring is much less powerful. However, to help it along, we usually fill our pans with water from the electric kettle, so we can't say how long it would take to bring cold water to the boil.

The Waring Commercial Double Burner is a cooktop like an electric range. It has dials to set the heating temperature like the dials of a range. It will boil water and cook food just the same as an electric range. I bought it to use for cooking while I was waiting to purchase an electric range/stove for my kitchen. It is easy to use and I prefer it sometimes over the stove. Hope this helps answer your question.

yes you could use any teapot type. The warming plate is getting really hot!

Yes, it will bring your water to a full boil. Caution: when the cup or mug starts to boil, it may "bubble" over the rim, so I place our mugs over paper towels. Like any "watched pot" it takes a while to come to a full boil, but the water obviously gets near the boiling point rather fast. When the outside of my mug gets really hot and I can see the water starting to boil, I first unplug the warmer and then carefully remove the heater from the water. Never plug the unit in without it submerged in water. Enjoy! These heaters are great when you don't have easy access to a microwave oven! Yes, it will bring your water to a full boil.

The only way the glass could become hot enough to "Burn" was if it was not under water.The water will remove heat faster than the resistive heater wire can supply it.

I have an electric stove top(coil) and cook with the cover on the unused burners all the time. I would not place a hot pan/dish on the glass without a hot pad. That's why I had to purchase a replacement.

No, only the model with the glass pot has the 2 hour warming plate (you will also notice a small heater button on the front panel). The model with the thermal pot just relies on the insulation of the pot.

The recommended method is to add Hot water to pot. I would think that is the safest method.

Good question, but the answer determinate on a few things, i.e. do you have a gas or electric stove? If electric, do you have a speed boil feature? Either way there are other factors in how quickly one can boil water. This product, being porcelain covered cast iron, will conduct and distribute heat quickly and evenly. Another factor (but important) in how fast you can boil water in this product is the Lid. Keeping the lid on any pot will help with the speed it takes for water to come to a boil as the lid will hold and redirect the escaping heat back into the water. Hope this helps.

Yes it will boil water. You may use it as skillet but the surface of it is not flat.

Yes, it works fine...this thermometer is great for high temperatures, but my preference is the total glass one as it is easier to clean. Hot water fixes it all but still like my old glass one better...If I break it will replace it with a glass one for jellies and hard candy. Hope this helps K

We use a heating pad but they dont stay hot long. Probably should heat in pot of water.

Well, we don't use those BUT we use glass bottles and we were also using running water or we would heat up our kettle. This warmer has saved us SO much time. It's fast! Only thing is, if left in for too long, it will get really hot, so just follow the directions and it will work like a charm for you.

It has a warming plate. I usually brew tea and it tastes fine after 30 minutes.

I hope not. I haven't had it long but have been using my regular pots and pans and it seems to work just fine. Takes a while to boil.

Thermos is not made for a warming plate. The Thermos is insulated stainless steel so warming plate heat would not reach the liquid inside the Thermos.

It would heat the water, pretty sure it doesn't truly get to boiling -- but it gets very hot. Just set up as normal, and leave out the coffee. We've also used it to make hot chocolate -- we were told it was best to start with hot water & mix it together first, then add to the urn. Hope this helps!

It should get hot because its boiling water but keep an eye on it you don't want it to get extremely hot, it may burn thru the plastic
