Will the base of the maker rest well against the side of a pan of boiling water or do you have to just hold it above the pan?

t has a small part on it, which works like a metal way, fits exactly theedge of the pan!!

I lay it across my pot. I think you could get burned holding it against the side of a pan of boiling water.

Had no problem with that but my dough wasn't right and it stuck to maker. Good luck

You don't have to hold it ! It has a Latch on one side that goes over the edge of any pan. I love that Spaetzle Maker!

It rests nicely on the top of a standard sized large pot. It lays horizontal resting on the entirely on the rim. It even has a little metal lip to hold it still while you slide the plastic container across the holes.

The raised side should be up when put in the pot. The outside edge should point down.

it should work well as long as you have a flat bottom surface on your brewing pot.

I may be misunderstanding you but this is not meant to float. You only put a small amout of water (I do about an inch in a small sauce pan) and then you sit this steamer at the very bottom of the pan. You dont want to put too much h20, where, say, if you were steaming veggies, they end up under water and being boiled instead.

Should keep it full - but can keep it less than full (enough to make what you are brewing). Problem is the "ring" of particulate matter that that forms from tap water, keep it at the top.

No, the inner pot has a band near the bottom which allows it to sit well above the water. This is a steamer, I use it every day to steam brocholi ant it works very well.

I can't see were there would be any problem with is sitting flat on a flat surface. I've only used mine for roasting and am very careful not to introduce cold water into a hot pan to avoid having the pan warp. If you follow the Mfg. instructions on maximum temps and cleaning you should not have a problem. It's a well made pan, cooks evenly and cleans up easily with warm soapy water.

No. Instructions included in the box state to NOT place pot over an open flame. Pouring boiling water into the pot is fine.

It's flat with a slight curvature around the edges... It works fine if you are going to home brew, but a little small if you are trying to get 5 gallons to boil. Also my lid did not fit very well.

It doesn't fit tightly inside at all but has a hinge so it will not fall off. I would rather it did not have the hinge but instead fit tightly inside the lip, but haven't had any problem with boil overs

The item is flat except for a small groove that runs along the front. I tried pouring a little water on it. Some of the water collected in the groove, but the rest went on the side of the pot.

I have a coffee maker on top of mine. No problems. But I wouldn't suggest puting it in a tight closed in shelve area because it vents out the upper back of the unit. Just keep that area clear above and behind the unit and you should be O.K.

I have a handle holder that is more like a quilted potholder. I leave it on the handle of my pan which I use everyday. I like it better than these silicone ones that can get singed by the electric stove burners.

Not sure as I always use pot holders if I boil something. If just simmering you should be fine.

I'd put a pot holder between anything hot and the counter top. It's hard plastic and not metal

That's how I use mine. Let the water sit about a half minute off the boil. Better for the coffee or tea that way.

i haven't had problems with anything boiling over. as a matter of fact. i don't put the little lid on. it's fun to watch whatever i have boiling. boiling water or whatever, only goes so far in the pot and that's it.
