In one of the reviews someone commented that theirs wouldn't boil water. Seems strange. What do you say?

It boils water. In fact if you shut the lid it get hot really fast. I was surprised when I read that review and even more surprised when I cooked on it. The cooking pot is fairly large and shallow. I won't want to boil water in it, but it would boil it. It boiled my green chili stew. I love mine.

Boil water? I never thought of that. I use the grill for grilling. We love it and its compact size. Great for winter storage! Works great for parking lot grilling with friends. Fits in the truck of my show car.

Will boil water/cook on the stove but the pot/pan must be inexpensive quality;ie. "thin metal"

It could have spilled out during boiling if you filled the water above the MAX line (not hard to do considering you cannot easily see the markings). If that is not the case - return the unit, it's likely defective

I just bought the same one, and it doesn't whistle either, after two tries with two water levels, with water at full rolling boil. Will exchange to see whether another one works better.

If you putting the water amount according to the manual than you doing everything OK. In this case something is wrong with the cooker. I am so far very happy with this unit. Thanks. Lou.

Yes, but, and the but is; Sometimes we (my wife & I) think that the water didn't get hot enough during the brew process. It has to get really hot to make good coffee. We are thinking of going back to perc.

Don't fill the ice too full. That may be it, but other than that, I am unsure. Hopefully it isn't defective.

I didn't install anything and I didn't have anything outside the package. I did notice if it whisted depended on the cover was on. However, I couldn't figure it out until it was already boiling. I would move the cover and it would whistle. However, I have since once again let the water boil out and pretty much wrecked it.

I had absolutely no problem with mine. Just followed the directions. Could it be defective?

I did not have this issue but if you have a problem when steaming your food (I don't think this would cause a problem?) then I would contact the manufacturer.

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 haven't had any problems with any and all the ones I have purchased. I would suggest either contact the vendor or return to Amazon OR heat up some water on the stove and hold it over steam of the boiling water as it may come out easier.... Perhaps. Good luck.

The water doesnt ever get hot unless I add it hot. Maybe mine doesnt work like it is supposed to, but it has never heated the water.

It makes the sound of boiling water, I might suggest an immersion heater instead, but they do not boil water- other than the 5 minutes of raising water temp till 212- it make no mechanical noises

Dude, sorry for that. I haven't cooked once, just soaked in water for one night and it started to rust. It's an awful awful wok, I have returned it.

Mine will boil, but it isn't a hard boil. It is a simmer, but bubbles are breaking the surface around the edges. It will do so even if it is very full and left on the high setting. It will not boil on the lower settings.

Hmm I gave it as a gift. Once it didn't brew a full pot and a vinegar water solutions was used to clean it.. And no other issues that I know of

It just says do not boil, i've never microwaved it. But if it doesn't say no, maybe it's safe
