will it get too hot inside

No there are vents front and back I put a cushion inside but for summer I might just put a thinner blanket. My dog likes cushions!

No. It would outgas and could contaminate food. Though, anything that doesn't heat up is okay.

I don't think so it does get quite hot but the heat seems to be contained with the popmaker and I only feel some mild heat when I am next to it. Uness your heat dectector is very close (within 3-4ft) I think you should be ok.

I do not keep anything that might melt on top of it. It does get quit warm to the touch but not so hot that it could possibly causes your skin to burn.

I would say yes it would be too hot-there isn't any ventilation and it isn't durable enough for outdoors unless you keep it on a patio with shade.

The outside does get hot as the product is stainless steel. I typically put a cutting board under the product just in case. The product did not produce enough heat to worry about heating the room versus the oven.

No the way it is designed there is an airspace between the SS exterior wall and the cooking vessel which is heated from the bottom. The lid will get quite hot but the sides are warm that is normal I think.

Sure, but like anything else it will get very hot, so take precautions. Also, because it's metal, it has more of a tendency to get hotter and whatever food sits on it may not cook the way you want it internally. Compare it to making food in glass baking dishes versus metal ones....it cooks a little differently.

It would probably get too hot to safely handle- it is really for water or juice

Mine gets really hot, that has never been a problem. It actually gets hotter that I had anticipated.

Yes. It gets very hot on the outside, so be careful. Open and close the lid by holding only the black plastic handle.

Yes, it will keep it hot for a couple of hours without cooking it and it getting too strong.

It definitely is hot enough but l would be cautious, it doesn't have a temp control. I would be careful not to get it close to anything that can catch on fire.

Yes. It's dishwasher safe so it can handle the heat. I generally keep it just above room temp. Or use iced tea.

Yes. No problem. Just do not get it too hot. Get a good thermometer to guide you. This one works great.

Depends what you mean by "very." It is hot to the touch but not combustably so. I store extra trays on top and they don't get hot.

It works wonderfully with plenty of space around it. It will get too hot in an enclosed area. Also, uses 110 plug and needs to stay balanced.
