Has anybody used it to warm apple cider?

Yes, but it leaked all over the counter! We bought the pot just for Apple Cider, but ended up with a sticky mess! The time had lapsed to return item, so I was stuck with using a pot on the stove for what was left! Very, very disgusted! When guests arrive, you hope to have everything going and ready - not moping up the counter and floor!

Hey, good idea! I only use mine for parties, anyway - but then only if I make coffee. I could use this for the Halloween party! Thanks for asking the question!

Yes I have and it works well. I used Woolite, cold water, fast spin. Drying, I used low to medium heat for about 30 minutes. I then draped it over 3 chairs to dry more overnight. Then I put it back in dryer for about 15 minutes on low.

I have used it to heat our glass bottles. It worked fine and we had no issues with the bottle.

Yes! I do it all the time. I like the "layering" method: chopped up fresh or frozen fruit (like 1 med apple), then dry oats (1/2 cup, I use regular old fashioned), then any add ins like raisins, salt, sugar, cinnamon, (to taste) pour water over the top (1 cup) - no stirring! Just leave it like that. It never burns, but can dry out depending on the time. I like to use an old analog plug timer so it turns on about 4 hours before I get up. Seems to be perfect!

No I don't think so but I have never used it in that manner. I use it as a double boiler for melting chocolate for our holiday treats

I've used mine just once for making applesauce and it turned out great - smooth but nice texture. If you like it chunky you're best to just chop the apples and cook the chunks. Mostly I use it on food-processored chili pods, onions & fresh herbs for making chili. Like with a food mill the more liquidy stuff comes out first and the drier & more fibrous stuff at the end. I typically stop the machine when the strained matter starts looking a bit dry.

I am having the same problem, 40 minutes of water boilng and apples are still cold to the touch. Did you find a solution or did you contact amazon for an exchange? Very interested to hear what you did to solve problem.

I used 8 of these to make 8 separate recipes of apple cider. Now in the aging process, and have worked really well.

I've used it to boost the melon flavor a beer, with good results. Should work well in a cider.

I have not used it except to make egg custard pie. It is a little bland in taste. Sorry I can't help you.

Hello: Yes! I just used it last week to make chili on a campstove in Yosemite. I bought it for solar cooking purposes, but it is all purpose. Just be careful as the handles get hot.

I have used it for baking apples in the microwave and in my oatmeal made in the microwave. I have had no problems with using it in hot or cold. I really highly recommend this product. It tastes just like sugar. Good luck to you.

I have only used it for my tomato sauce. And if it makes apple sauce as good as my tomato sauce, then I would purchase this. I was amazed on how it knew to strain the skins and seeds. I love this appliance!

never tried that, but I think it runs a little hot. I have learned what temps to set it too. And btw, I love it.

I have steamed apples in the microwave & then thrown them in this to make applesauce. That worked great.

Yes, I had no problem what so ever. I really love mine , I canned 28 quarts of apples with it .
