can the feet and rim withstand boiling water?

Yes, I use this colander to strain boiling pasta countless times without any injury to the feet or rim.

Absolutely, Kathy! Further, it does a better job as a fine mesh colander, since no small particles get thru. I have a number of I DO utensils, and am very happy with all of them. Definitely quality products! And, Amazon is the very best firm on the internet to do business with!!! Sincerely, Phyllis (Bethalto, Il)

Mine has. I usually use this colander for boiled potatoes and pasta. I set it in the sink and pour the boiling water into the colander. It doesn't seem to affect it at all.

It is a must to have a stabilizer in the bottom of the pot. Also keeps jars from bumping against each other. A rolling boil causes a lot of movement.

Seems to be no problem, for me, but I will caution that I use an aluminum plate 1/4 inch thick as a buffer, between the kettle and the burner. This is to avoid any hot spots and scorching, as the bottom is the same gauge stainless as the sides. That plate may provide some protection to the valve and thermometer. Might be a valid concern.

Im sorry, but I don't have an answer to that question, I returned the product because it was an accident waiting to happen, there was an almost loose surface to hold the pot on top of the "burner", and with boiling oil inside of it... I don't even want to think about it. Good luck if you buy it.

Thanks for the inquiry. The stone pot can be used on the cooktop or in oven to boil water once it immerse in water.

I've used very warm water and it is fine. It is medium to heavy vinyl so it could probably handle pretty hot water. Don't know about boiling water.

I'm sure it is since it can handle boiling hot water. However, it's better to hand rinse to avoid a soapy taste. This makes drinking tea fun. It's the little things in life

No, unfortunately. Be very mindful when boiling water. I had to buy a new kettle because I forgot about it on the stove and holes were burned into the copper. I still love this kettle though. Just have to pay attention.

I bought one of these a while back and once the legs are on it's pretty sturdy, I have had large pots of water on it without issue. I haven't had much luck getting a griddle on there though because the guides for pots/skillets/woks keep it too far off the flame.

Absolutely not. The exterior stays cool even with boiling water. Hot drinks stay that way for longer than with a ceramic mug though, so be aware of that.

I tried putting a pot of boiling water on it and that didn't seem to do it any harm. Silicone can be quite heat tolerant but I'm not sure if this particular item would stand up to oven temperatures.

Yes, it should be okay. It's not going to be like a Pyrex cup, but it has enough strength to hold up by itself, full or not, within reason...I wouldn't test it with boiling water or honey, but flour or sugar, sure.

I've boiled water in the pot and there was no obvious damage. Have not used the pans at high temps tho.

that I'm not sure. I washed it in hot water and it is dishwasher safe but not sure if it would stand up to boiling water.

From experience I would say yes. I use my pan regularly to heat water to boiling for steaming vegetables and have never had any problem.

Are you referring to the (plastic) tubing or the stainless steel tube? Stainless steel is pretty tough as others have said, but the plastic tubing won't hold up to very high temps, I'm sure. It's just that standard food-grade clear tubing and a couple of hundred degrees would probably melt it pretty quickly. It can easily stand up to hot tap water temps, but I wouldn't subject it to anything near boiling water temps as it will start to discolor (and cloud up). So, a wood stove is definitely out of the question.
