I want to boil water in a clay or stone pot on the stove top for making tea. Can I do it with this pot?

No. Never! This pot cracks. Seller refused to replace or refund the pot. Stay away!

No, I don't believe so. I boil water separately. I would recommend the tea pot for one person only. It's smaller than I expected.

Most definitely! Here's what I do. I fill my stoneware teapot with water and then stick it in the microwave for "5 min on high" and then continuously on "hold." During this time water is heating to boiling in another pot [electric or on the stove]. When the 'tea water' reaches boiling, I empty the stoneware teapot, add three tea bags, pour in the boiling water and then steep for 4 minutes.

You can pour in water right off the boil. Just don't put it on a stove burner. :)

No, that would damage it. This pot is designed to steep loose tea. According to this tradition, boil water in a kettle or saucepan on the cook top & then drizzle the boiled water thru infuser to fill pot. This is a wonderful teapot if you use loose tea (black, green, etc.) and offers the advantages of the removable infuser, which can be hard to find. The infuser holds the tea & can be extracted from pot when tea has steeped the desired number of minutes, leaving you to enjoy your brew at your leisure, without it becoming bitter from over-steeping.

Absolutely not! There are glass teapots for stove use but this is not one of them.

No. You could microwave the water then pour it in, I just use a tea kettle on the stove. Doesn't even have to be boiling.

No. Heat water in a metal or glass Tea Kettle then put it into the Teapot containing the tea.

Hello,The teapot is NOT for stovetop use. The way it works is the filter is placed in the teapot. You put in the tea leaves and then pour hot water over the tea leaves and fill the teapot to the desired level. Allow the tea to rest 3 minutes or desired strength. Instructions are included. I hope this helps.

No, to boil water on the stove you want a tea kettle. A teapot like this is for brewing tea in.

Yes, it's fine for all types of loose tea. You can pour boiling water directly into the teapot.

I would not recommend this teapot for stovetop. It is very delicate and can be broken easily.

I would NOT recommend using this teapot on a cook top. I've had great success heating my water in a kettle or saucepan and pouring over loose tea in the strainer into the pot and let steep.

Yes, you can boil water on the Toaks Titanium pot and you can do it on a regular or backpacking stove. When we are hiking we normally boil water and then add mac n'cheese or something that only requires water so it's easy to cook.

This is a ceramic tea POT. To boil on the stove you are looking for a tea KETTLE. There are some exceptions, but for the most part to make tea correctly and safely you need one of each. Tea kettles are made of materials that can stand up to the extreme heat from below and cooling liquid inside/above they encounter on the stove, typically metal. Tea pots are made of materials that can stand the less-intense heat gradient from boiling water to ambient temperature, and won't impart flavor to the tea, typically ceramics. If you steep the tea in a metal kettle, you will likely get unpleasant metallic flavors in your tea, because tea is acidic and will dissolve some of the metal into your drink. If you boil water stove-top in a tea pot, it will very likely crack, possibly violently, and spew hot water everywhere. There are a relatively few pots out there made out of materials that work both stove top and for steeping. The ones I've seen have mostly been made out of Pyrex or similar materials. Do *not* assume a glass tea pot is safe to put on the stove, though. Most glass is at least as likely to explode on top of the stove as a ceramic pot, and will make much more dangerous shards. Personally, I'm not comfortable with even glassware that claims to be safe on the top of the stove.

I keep a tea kettle full of boiling water, to humidify the air and make tea! It might be fine for stews and soup type things... but you would want to be a better cook than I am to cook a whole meal.

I don't think you can heat this pot. The way to use it, will be to pour in hot water and tea leaves and allow to stand to steep in the tea leaves.
