I have cooked food on here. It works just fine. But its not for a big family, thoug

The question is, how wide is the pot? You can cook anything you want on it, but if its wider it takes longer to heat up. Its ceramic so even if it doesn't fit its safe. If you want me to give you the diameter of the heating surface, then ask another question

I found that this cook top was slower than the electric burners on my electric range. I tried to return it, but the manufacturer made it impossible to return. I ended up giving it away to a thrift shop in case someone else might have some use for it. I tried heating water in my 2 qt induction ready pot. I never bothered to put on a larger pot, since the cooktop failed on such an easy task.

I would think you could... It will take a lot for a pot this size to boil water.

No, not if its the same as my 2-3 quart lid. It is not big enough. The replacement lid I ordered did not fit properly and so I've never used it.

Yes or no.If the top of the 1/2 gallon jar is the same diameter as a one QUART Ball or Kerr jar it will fit.You have to ask for the diameter of the 1/2 gallon jar top to know for sure.

Chris, I just did a quick search and only found the 2880 combo, and the pot looks different from mine, so I don't think it would work.

Yes you can it just depends on how many btu's your burner puts out, that will determine how vigorous your boil will be and how long it will take to get to a full boil with this pot

I have used mine successfully on a Bayou brand fish cooker. I was concerned about stability but it worked fine. Great pot.

I do not think it would hold up on a 3.5 gal. particularly if its a round unit

Without having my hands on a 1/2 gallon jar, I would say not. Think you would be safe using your one quarts though.

I don't know for sure but would guess the answer is no, as there are two sizes of drip pots (possibly more).

Hi, My husband thinks that you may not get enough pressure or volume of water. However, he also thinks with 1/2 inch pipe, it would work. It's worth a shot. Happy planting.

Not sure as I always use pot holders if I boil something. If just simmering you should be fine.

I usually use it on an 8-10" diameter pot, but it can easily accommodate a larger pot - I would feel safe using it on a pot up to 12" or so. It does work really well- haven't had a boil over yet!

Sure. As long as the pot can be balanced between the 2 handles properly. I did it all the time.

I used 3" but 1 1/2" would work fine. My thought was the bigger the diameter the more water it held. More water means less fill ups and plenty of water for hot days.

Hi Shirley, the steamer insert measures 7 3/4" outside diameter and 3 3/4" deep. I think it would be a very tight fit if your pot is exactly 7 3/4" too. This would also only leave room for an inch of water under your steamer.

Yes you can :) It is used like any other pot. I found some more ways to use it through Google and how to properly care for it. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/275709 Here is a link to get you started! Good luck!
