Can you use this on an electric stovetop??? I have an electric stove top and would love to use this Moka express?

Danielle--I have the smallest size Bialetti, but the coffee is so easy to make and tastes great! My electric stove is a flat-top, and I just make sure the handle is off to the side a bit. I have had no trouble with the handle getting hot and pick it up right from the burner with the handle. Turn the burner to about medium heat, and within a few minutes the coffee starts to bubble out of the spout inside the top half of the coffee maker. It only takes a minute or so from this point, so watch it a bit, then when the top half is full, remove it from the heat. I even heat the milk on the same burner in a stainless steel Turkish coffee pot/pan thing (Pradeep brand) I got at an Indian market. Both fit just fine. Also, I saw a video on Youtube about making Cuban coffee. Put sugar into your mug, then put a few drops of the just-brewed coffee on top, and stir it for a minute or two until it looks like a paste. Pour the hot milk onto this, then the coffee. Oh my! It's just amazing!!

It is not advertised as such. Googling your question brought up some suggestions as to using it on a glass stove-top, which I do not have. However, as I love my pan so much, I would not risk using it on my electric burners, much less on gas.

I have a regular electric stove, it works fine on it. I spend more money and bought a Nordic Ware, it works great and since it islarger I can do the job in half the time.

I have an electric stove top, but I see no reason whatsoever why you couldn't use it with gas. So my answer is "yes"!

I use it to make coffee on my gas BBQ grill when the power goes out during hurricane season. My husband uses one for coffee when he's camping and puts it on a Coleman propane burner (open flame). So I don't know why you couldn't put it on either a gas or electric kitchen stove. It just needs a heat source. Note that the entire coffee pot, including the handle, heats up so when you touch the handle to remove it, you need to use oven mits or you'll burn yourself.

Wish I could help. I have glass top electric and works great. You may need to contact your stove manufacturer.

It may depend on your particular cooktop. Many induction cooktops sense whether there is an induction-capable pot present or not, and the diameter of moka pots is small enough that the cooktop may not recognize that it is there, and they won't turn on. The specs on my GE Monogram induction cooktop, for example, said this pot's diameter was too small, so I have used one of those steel plates under it that are designed for this purpose, and it heated a bit slowly (I have gathered it is unwise to use those plates at the higher heat settings), but I found it more than acceptable. But just now, to answer your question, I tried it without the plate, and to my surprise, it did indeed start heating, so it looks like I don't need to use that plate, after all. I haven't actually tried making coffee with it, yet, without that plate, but it looks like it should work fine, now that I tried it. Again, though, it's possible that your cooktop won't "recognize" that there's anything there to heat up if the diameter is too small.

Hi there. We use a gas stove, so I can't say whether it's possible to use on an electric cook top. Also, I've never used it in an oven (though I would feel safer if it had a copper bottom for oven use). As for a dishwasher, I know that they recommend you hand wash this - especially if you use the egg cups. A dishwasher may not be thorough enough to clean any egg residue inside the cups (sometimes you have a little egg sticking to the inside of the cups).

It can be used on the stove top but the three legs make it a little less effective. If you have a gas range the legs will fit down between the grates. On an electric top it would probably be best to have a Dutch oven with out legs. The one with legs is called a Camp Dutch oven. It works well in an oven because the legs fit in the shelf of the oven. My son does this all of the time. Stove top no.

I purchased this tea kettle for my daughter and she has an electric stove. I don't know any reason why you couldn't use it on a gas stove, it's a Mr. Coffee, after all!!

I use it on an induction cooktop, which has a glass top, but is different from an electric stove. But the heat of the pot would be the same regardless of the means of heating the pot. I don't think they'd manufacture a pot that wouldn't work on the main kinds of stoves (gas, electric, induction).

I have a glass top electric range with this pan and have no problems with it. Of course, I have never used this pan with another type of stove. Hopefully the other reviewer gave specifics. Good luck!

Yes, it is able to be used on electric stoves. Be careful it's not set too high!

Hello Gabriel, I called the company and they said it can definitely be used on a gas or electric burner on a stove top. Most people use it that way to make gravy after roasting something in the oven. Also, it can be used as a smoker in the oven. I am using it on the stove top as a smoker, like the Camerons smoker. I smoke for 20 minutes on top then put this in the oven.

I have a gas stove, but I don't see any reason why it can not be used on electric. It is very sturdy and good quality. I luv it.

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.
