Could you warm milk on a stove top with this? Would the handle get too hot?

I would say you probably could put this on the stove top, but it is not a good idea as the handle would get hot.

You could probably use it on the stove, but yes, the handle and the whole thing would get too hot.

No, it would not consider putting this on a stove to heat, for many reasons. First, all the metal is thin and connected. It would get crazy hot. Second, the base is way smaller than that of any stove top burner, so most of the heat would escape around the bottom, and make the sides even hotter.You use this for frothing milk, and nothing else.

You could with a pot holder or glove, however it was not designed for this use and would get hot and may permanently heat discolor.

It's not safe to do this; the handle woud get too hot. Use a ceramic cup to warm your milk in the microwave instead!

Haven't tried to do that but think it would. Use a pot holder to get a grip on the handle.

It is not really recommended, the handle would get very warm since the usual temperature of the milk should be warmed to 165 degrees. You would be better off with a small pot used for cooking since it has a handle made for that.

The handle is iron too and therefore gets hot. I use it on my gas stovetop - which is fire so assume a grill or other fire would work as well

No, the handle does not get warm or hot. Plus this lid fits every pot and pan I own cleans up so well in dishwasher, it looks like new. Don't hesitate, buy it, you won't be sorry.

No. If you keep the handle in the upright direction it gets warm but not too hot. If you have the handle bent to the side while boiling it does get hotter, but can still be touched

No, the pan does not get too hot to handle. I use mine on an almost daily basis and am perfectly happy with it! I hope you enjoy using your pan.

Yes, the handle does get hot....I got one of the potholder things that are made especially to slide onto pot handles. Love, love, love the pan!

I think you will end up burning yourself as the handle will become hot as well - so I think it is a very bad idea... Note that this certainly not what it is designed for, and it has some form of inside isolation and can keep liquid warm for an extended amount of time

Yes. It gets very hot. Definitely a con on this. I have to hold the handle with a small towel.

There is a plastic screen attached to the plunger which would melt on the stove. You would need to remove the lid before stove heating. I'd recommend heating the milk in a coffee mug in a microwave, better and safer. This is too nice of a SS cup to burn it up on the stove! If you warp the steel the plunger might not work properly.

Milk has lactose (milk sugar) in it which burns if you get it too hot - this is why milk burns onto the bottom of a pan when heating on the stove unless you stir it continuously. That heating element gets very hot and thus burns the milk. I suppose it might work without burning if you continuously stirred the milk while heating.

I heat my milk in the microwave or stove top in a separate pan or cup then put it in this frother. I don't think I would use it on a stove top.

The handle does not get hot unless you are using the pan to cook in the oven. Then you will need a hot pad.

I have not had a problem with the handle heating on the stove top.Make sure the flame is not up so high that it is under the handle.

I find that it warms the milk but doesn't make it hot. If you likes it hot using the microwave seems like a good idea.

The handle gets hot enough that I have to use a pot holder, but it may be because we have a gas stove with an open flame! I'm not sure if it would get that hot on a normal stove top!

It's too fragile for direct heat in my opinion. And the handle would be quite hot. Not meant for that.

I highly doubt it. The handle would probably melt. It is working great for eggs!
