Can this be used to safely heat Sak&eacute;?

Yes, it can used to heat Sak, but... you would have to monitor the temperature as it warms. The lowest set-temperature on this model is 175f. Warm Sak should be drank at about 110f to 120f so if you allow it to reach the set temperature of 175f - 212f not only might someone burn themselves drinking it too quickly but you'll also ruin the flavor and the potency of the Sak. The best way would be to use it as a double boiler by pouring the Sak into a Sak server and placing it into the hot water. Just make sure that the water level is not too high so that it may be too difficult to retrieve or that some water might get into the Sak. If you do pour your Sak directly into the kettle make sure to clean it out well afterwards as there will be some residue in the kettle that could scorch and give an off flavor to your next cup of tea!

you probably could, but the smell might be nasty. If heat melts it, this will cut it.

I do not believe this is safe to use on a very hot surface. this is just a cover to put over burners when NOT in use.

I would say a qualified "YES" - however, just like any heating device, NO NOT have it positioned in front of combustible material of any kind. The air temperature coming out of the unit is close to 600 degrees F. The metal case approaches 250 degrees F at the front. I have used an infra-red thermometer to verify these measurements.

Yed it can. Just watch temperature. As they do hold heat themselves for a long time and if you dont control burner you Wil burn your food.

I wouldn't use it to heat my house for sure but as long as you have a window or door cracked a couple inches for ventilation it would be okay to cook a meal or make some coffee in an emergency power outage. Just keep it on low heat to reduce emissions and don't leave unattended or take a nap with it left on, you may not wake up. ;-)

I would advise against it...while there might not be a problem at moderate levels, the amp should have sufficient area available for heat dissapation, in order to prevent overheating. So, if you can avoid it Eduardo, I'd do so. :)

From my experience I would say NO... Im sure this product only works with heat I couldnt see it working anyother way

I have never heated it and don't see why you would. It is very strong, being granite and so likely would be ok. It is best used for mixing fresh salsas and guacamole, not for cooking.

I would not recommend that. The surface is not the biggest surface so some spillover could occur onto the electrical components and would not make it very safe. Not to mention that I'm not sure it was meant to be used for flambeing. Be on the safe side and just use a separate pan to flambe.

I would NOT. In all honesty, I haven't tried it but I would be afraid that the bamboo area might scorch from residual burner heat. I had something similar years ago (not same brand or material) and ended up having a burner coil imprint from the heat on the underside.

I don't think that would be a good idea. If you want to brown meat, get a good sear in a sauté pan on very high heat.

This is a commercial and heavy-duty unit, and SHOULD be OK for that use. However, it is advisable to use caution when applying this unit to high-heat appliances, and you have mentioned a BBQ. Test it first before actual use, and watch/fee the converter as it is being tested to check for overheating.

I never tried it, but there does not seem to be any reason why you can't unless it boils over and messes up your burner. I would call REC TEC, they are very responsive and would have a better answer.

Yes you can. I own one and I do water bath canning and cook in mine often. I do not recommend very high heat.

I do not believe that silicone is meant for direct heat. I would not suggest it :)

you could do eaither or.. as equipment is pretty small.. but i think is best to keep it on a flat surface as it may get hot at times and you can avoid burns as if not hold propperly you might burn.
