Can I take the rubber part off? I need something to put in boiling water to elevate a pyrex bowl in the water so it doesn't sit on the bottom & break

This kind of trivet is not meant to be used on a burner. A "wire" or coil type of metal trivet is the type of guard you should use between a pyrex pot and an electric burner. See Chemex wire trivet/guard on Amazon at Chemex Stainless Steel Wire Grid for Use on Electric Stove, 6.5 Inch

Yes, with a little prying with my thumbnail, I was able to remove one of the rubber feet.

Yes, you take it off, just put it somewhere safe and put it back when you're done.

You can heat to remove it it will be kind of rubbery but will pull right off

I've done this with no problems. The instructions state, "As soon as possible, & no more than two minutes after removing the Pyrex glassware from the oven, put the plastic lid directly on the hot dish. Immediately place dish in carrying case". I hope this helped.

It's in the base. I wanted one with NO plastic. Hard to find. Here are it's problems: 1. the fill line is low and hard to see 2. it clicks off when it decides to click off after boiling hard otherwise you have to turn it off yourself 3. the filter they have in it makes the water go all over the place. #2 means the heat registration takes some time so maybe this will last longer than 2 - 3 years. But there is NO plastic. The base has all the information re: no immersion etc. This is the heating element. The heating registration is in the bottom of the pot. This is why it has to boil so hard to turn off.

You do not have to remove the rubber pads... They are heat-proof. Let me know if you have any further questions.

It may be too heavy to remove safely. I bought the silicone handle for it, but it's still hot thru the silicone.

The internal black plastic rim that functions as a strainer when you pour, is not removable from the top to my knowledge. But I have to admit, I've never tried to separate the two. I assumed it was one piece.

i don't place it in the bottom of my pyrex pan. i don't use it for processing.

YOU cant use the bottom for that, it slides off. You can use the small bottom then pour it into the top part. I like it though!

I haven't really tried to get it off - it doesn't come off easily because I've washed the bowls many times and it doesn't come off with soap and water. It is removable it you wanted to really work at it - I don't know if it would leave a residue or not.

Not without bending it with a pair of pliers. I see no need to remove it anyway. It has two separate folding methods - one is somewhat raised as shown in this picture which makes it easy to handle when cooking - the other is to flip it over to make it lower. Also handle does not get hot when cooking. Love this pot. When cooking soups and stews this is the only pot I use anymore.

To your first question. Nope. You could remove both bowls and just feed in the plastic formed cups if you want, but it's easier to just clean the metal bowls. To your second question, nope. Super easy to remove the top portion. It just snuggly sits on the bottom half.

I took that piece out of my bowls, I don't use them , but I assume you can contact the company and see if they can replace it for you.

It's fine for boiling water. I used it at Burning Man to make coffee in the mornings and for meals. It's made out of silicone: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone_rubber

We do not offer the rubber separately, the entire bowl would have to be purchased.

Sorry, I am unable to help. I did mine by cutting with a razor and soaking in hot water to loosen the rubber. Good luck. Let me know if I was of any help.

You can screw the top and take the ink out. Not sure sure about the rubber part
