    Hmm. Okay.

    I suppose the bottle might be hot even if you don’t completely submerge it. But, then what, do you hold it with a gloved hand? If it’s not that hot, then why would I need a hook? I accept this is the intended use, I just don’t see it being particularly useful that way.

    It’s also possible this is just vestigial decoration from the older, larger jugs.

      You do not fully submerge it. Take the lid off and hang it submerged 3/4 of the way.

      I normally hang it from a string tied to a wooden spoon over a tall pot.

      Put the bottle on the table to cool a bit while you finish up setting the pancakes. I didn’t wait. I just wrapped the bottle with a little towel and poured it hot on my pancakes.
