What happens if I boil less than the minimum recommended amount of water?

I'm not aware of what the minimum is but I've boiled less than the fill line on the pitcher with no problem.

I have found no problem in boiling a small amount of water. This pot continues to be great for us

Don't do it! It will either wreck the heating element or wreck the mechanism that allows it to auto switch off once it's boiled and it will kill the kettle. The minimum fill is 0.75l , which is about 2 mugs worth. Although I complained it's higher than my old kettle it's not all that bad.

i never did it..so why not just put the min. it won't hurt anything. But i'm sure it wouldn't be a problem cuz it'll shut off when need to

No! 2-3/4 cup total contents when added to the need for room to boil would exceed the capacity. You would have a big mess on your hands! You'll want to consider a "regular" sized cooker.

An inch is good for boiling water. For cooking about four inches helps to control the heat better. This is an awesome stove. You will love it.

It doesn't have to be full, but I'm not sure what the minimum amount of water would be.If you lift the kettle off the base, it turns off. It may have a off button, I don't remember, but you definitely don't need to unplug it to turn it off.

Yes. Cook with a little more water than it calls for and it will be very mashable.

Unless you are directly connected to a water source that's maintains a heated resovoir the water needs to heat to the appropriate brewing temperature before brewing can begin

Minimum water level recommended is approx. 3 cups, based on the level on the side of the kettle. I have accidentally heated a cup a couple of times, and the kettle still works, but that is not the recommendation as per the level indicator.

It goes to a boil, but you can turn it off earlier. If you have a thermometer, you could probably test it once for the right temp.

Yes, you can brew less than a carafe by adjusting the amount of water (and coffee). I do it all the time.

There were settings, Lo-Hi. If you set it to Lo it boiled more slowly than if you set it higher. I don't know what that translated out to in terms of degrees.

There are no temperatures, just low to high. Water will boil sooner at HIGH.

The trouble is that the temperature setting cannot account for how much water is in the kettle. So the lower settings will produce a different result with different amounts of water. I found this annoying, and, in fact, the reason I returned the product.

no, there was no minimum. although like any pot you can not cook without any moisture. It has been a very nice pot. i recommend!

No I don't think there is a minimum as long as you are reasonable about it.. I don't think I would do less that about a quart, because why go to the trouble otherwise..I usually do about 8-9 lbs, and that fills it up so if you bought 4 at of strawberries for instance you would only halve about 1/4 of the pot filled. I hope this helps! Just contact me again if you have other questions. I have used it for a large number of things

I went to my tea kettle and poured water into measuring cup about 7 cups full when boiling point arrives you get 1/2 cup less Hope this helps.

I've heated it with very little water on it. It recommends having it full but I have had no issues heating a smaller portion of water. I often don't fill it until it's all out. So many cups later

Maybe a little, but probably not much. You'll experience a lot of heat loss where the water isn't covered. I actually wish I had purchased a bigger one because of this.
