can heater be used for cooking

I tried and it does not get hot enough. As for heating, it throws a lot of heat.

Definitely not! This heater belts out the heat, great heater, but also the smell of kerosene is heavy and would taint your food. Also, the wire protector is not designed for anything to be set on top of it.

It's made to be used indoors or out. It runs on butane. However, I would not suggest that it be used to heat a tent. You have an open flame and it probably wont produce enough heat anyway.

You can if it's a very heavy duty extension cord. The typical extension cords can handle the load of the heater and tend to over heat which could lead to a fire.

Because initially this product is being sold as a heater for foods, not a cooker. If someone tries to cook in this product and gets sick or if someone tries to use it as a cooker and it doesn't work then the maker could be liable for false advertising.

Yes you can even though that is not the purpose of a pressure cooker. The best use for this would be to cook meat/vegetable/rice faster with the build up of steam inside.

I suppose you could use it just for water. You could use a pot to heat water also. Seems like a silly question.

You could use it as a regular slow cooker, but it may be harder to control the true temperature. I use mine mainly for heating things that will be eaten soon, such as vegetables, or just as a warmer for other items. It's very handy for the holiday's!

Yes, but this pot is very large and trapped heat may scorch some cook tops. Reccomend using this outdoors. A decent propane cooker may be obtained for $20.00. ... and you won't heat up the house!

Generally speaking most heaters are supposed to have a tipover safety cutoff circuit in them so no, don't expect to be able to use it or ANY UL listed/safely designed portable heater on its side, although some may not be as safely designed as others so you could get away with it.

The unit is not designed for use with uncooked food. If a recipe calls for uncooked meats, it should be fully cooked before combining with other ingredients and heating it in the unit.

If a magnet will stick to it you can use it. Do not use cheap, or lightweight pans with non stick surfaces with this unit. It creates such intense heat it will warp the pan and ruin the surface.

Yes and no. We use it to heat and keep warm canned corn, peas, vegies, meat balls, sauses etc. Ths way you don't need to keep all these items on a stove. Preheat them and put in one of the pots. They are out of the way and you can concentrate on the main meal items.

Gas is probably better for heat distribution. But electric burners will work as long as they make contact with the pan.

For things like deglazing the roasting pan to make gravy for a short period of time, yes. I wouldn't use it to cook things in, however. Note that I use a gas stove - harder to do this with electric.

No you cannot. What you can do is go ahead and put in the time you want and when that cook time has elapsed the unit has the keep warm function which keeps the food warm until you turn it off.

I have a small propane grill and have used the cooker on that. Works just fine.

yes - it's a good heater and should work fine - just be careful not to heat the water too much - you can seriously cook the fish - make sure you get one of those thermostats that attach to the outside of the tank -
