Can you heat water in this teapot on a gas stove?

No. It may be listed as a stovetop Teapot but the instructions say not to use on gas or electric burners. Heat water and pour over tea to infuse it only. I have had 2 of these and both cracked at the handle just sitting on the counter. They are way too fragile unless the company is offering a new modle.

I heated water over gas. The major issue would be the transfer of heat to the handle. Be careful.

Hi, I believe for the gas stove you should use a special metal protector over the flame. I think some little metal part came with this teapot, but maybe it was with another teapot, it looked something like that http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Fitz-All-Stove-Top-Heat-Diffuser-2-Pack-Grids-For-Use-on-Electric-or-Gas-Ranges-/311061690173?pt=Kitchen_Tools_Gadgets&hash;=item486cb8b73d I can't be sure, as I don't need it and I throw these away, I have an electric ceramic stovetop. I never boil water on 'high' setting, only on medium or medium-high if I'm in a hurry :)

I use it to steep the tea so I pour boiling water in to it. I know there is a candle warmer for it to stay hot. I wouldn;t put it on the stove myself.

NO! I have poured boiling water in it, but do not place it on a stove and heat it because it will break!

I have not used this pot directly on the stove. I don't recall whether the manufacturer said this was acceptable or not, but it just doesn't sound safe to me! I use my Hario "beehive" to heat the water, then pour it into the teapot. If you don't have one of those, then just use a regular saucepan to heat the water, then pour it into the teapot.

No you can not. You must boil the water and add it to the pot. It is a very stunning piece but any glass tea pot is some what fragil. I do love it however.

My wife boils water in the cast iron tea pot we have a electric stove and it works good....but if it is too full it boils over fast

I have not tried it on an induction cooktop. I use a cast iron tea candle holder with this teapot, and it will keep the tea warm for several hours. I think the instructions on the box said not to use on a stove to boil water in the pot, but if you have already brewed the tea, you might be able to keep it warm on the very lowest setting on an induction cooktop.

I have a gass stove top, so I can't know for sure. However, it should heat up the same way any metal pot would on that type of stove top. I've been using this particular tea kettle for many years and love it.

Hi, Kent. No, you should not heat this pot. The inside is lined with enamel, and that high heat would crack the enamel coating. The most heat this teapot could withstand is a candle beneath to keep your tea warm.

No. This is a cast iron tea pot which is not designed for cooking. To make tea, water must be boiled separately and add to the tea pot.

No, you cannot. This is a tea pot. What you put on the stove is called a tea kettle.

I wouldn't put it in a teapot - just put it in your mug and pour the water over top and let it steep in the mug.

No, but then I don't use it on top of the stove. I pour hot water over tea in infuser. It's a good tea pot.

Sorry, I have a gas stove, but I love this tea kettle. Large capacity, easy to fill at center and one hand operation - one button to open, another to close spout. I hope you can find a way to use it with an induction range.

I would not put this on an electric stove. I would boil water and add it to the tea pot.

Yes. I actually heat water for tea in an electric tea pot with a temperature gauge. While the water is heating for tea, I fill my stoneware teapot with water and heat it on high in the microwave. It's microwave and dishwasher safe.

No. It is a nice little tea pot and very pretty but it does not have the feature. I drink a lot of tea so I just bought an electric tea kettle that is red and made by Aroma. The reviewers say it rapidly boils water. We have a gas stove and it takes about 5 minutes for the water to boil. So I am thinking this may be better.
