Yes it will hold boiling water. It is a silicone material and you can use it for hot food or for drinking hot coffee or tea.

I just checked for the purpose of the question. No, It will not fit in the canteen spout. It's just a smidge too big.

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.

no. it heats to boiling then you have the option to keep it hot (without boiling) for as long as you like.

the lid is a little bit smaller and a different threading than the popular plastic GI canteen, and the cup is a little bit smaller as well. i don't have a stand for this canteen but i can imagine it would fit loosely. as I've said in my review though, I would get this canteen. If you need to boil water you don't even need the cup, just attach a stainless keyring at the point where the chain meets the canteen for easy removal and you don't have to worry about melting it. I have no complaints about this canteen at all.

Yes, I believe so. I have poured very hot if not boiling water in to it and have never had a problem.

Unfortunately no, it only has boil temperature. But it would be a nice option if it came with warming temperature too.

It's plastic; so adding boiling water is going to leach something. How much I cannot tell you, maybe nearly nothing, maybe a lot. I can definitely recommend that you don't use this for boiling water unless it's a life-or-death situation. This is a canteen made for drinking water that's normally not above room temp. It's best utilization is as such.

Other than the inside of the lid, no. As far as I can tell, only glass and metal (from the coil that runs up the side) touches the water when boiling.

Not that I saw,but this unit has too much energy to perform that kind of task. It is made for boiling large amounts of water- I use it to make large pots of brunswick stew for example.

It is a replica of the WW2 canteens that were used. So in regards to that era, yes it is. As for the modern day canteens, no it is not. It holds the same capacity of water (1 Qt) but you can not switch canteen cups.

Yes. But I don't recommend the kettle. Poor design causes hot steam to reach fingers when pouring.

Yes. It has a rather thick bottom to it, although its hard to tell from the pictures that is the case. It is very sturdy and does well for boiling water or hot dishes.

It is very heavy glass, but I would hesitate adding boiling water. I use mine to store flour and sugar.

It should be safe for boiling water. I pour boiling water into mine every day. According to the manufacturer's web site: "... Made in Taiwan with Tritan, a plastic specially-formulated to be safe in hot-temperature applications and is 100% BPA-free"
