can you boil water over a gas stove and not damage interior enamel

According to the directions that come with the kettle, direct heat would damage the enamel causing cracks.

The best use for this Tea Pot is steeping. The cast iron gets extremely hot so putting this over a open flame may cause damage or injury.

I think so--but some part will break any way! It was hard to get water residue off inside,even after soaking in vinegar so I think the flame from gas burner may leave marks hard to remove also.

it is painted, so the paint may peel due to the heat from the stove. I would say no.

I think it will depend on the type of paint and the color. Remember that this product is black. I have reprinted the stove pipe in a high heat resident car engine black paint and there seems to be no problem.

Nancy I'm assuming you mean on a gas stove? If so than yes. I do this everyday. If you mean over something wood fired, like a camp fire, than I would be hesitant.

The interior enamel will get scratched. It should only be used on a cast iron finish IMHO.

Most cookers do tend to boil over the edges, probably you need to adjust the quantity of rice and water. For me, I place the cooker on a large heavy porcelain plate, so any heavy spill over / froth that sprays will be 'caught' in the plate. I cannot compare with the rest, but this has been as good as any other cooker for me as far as this aspect is concerned, I think it isn't too troublesome for me. The good part is, it is steel. I wanted to avoid Teflon/ non-stick or aluminium in my cookware.

No. I would never use any vessel made of ceramic, porcelain, pottery or any other suchlike material on the stovetop. Boil your water in a teakettle, then pour it into the teapot for serving. Better to be safe than sorry!

No. But you should never leave the kitchen with boiling water on the stove ! So it shouldn't matter.

it could boil water, but I don't recommend this cooker because the coating on the inside is flaking off already!!!

Not possible to use it over gas stove. would be too hot for the frame and most likely melt the plastic handle on the base.

Of course you can use it on a gas stove. I am using it that way. It works perfectly. The bottom may seem to be thin, but that actually works in advantage for the time you need to boil the water. It is very short. And the material is very sturdy, good quality stainless steel.

I guess you could. There's nothing specifically I can think of that would prevent this from working, but it is definitely outside the parameters by which it was designed. I think if I were going to use it, my primary means would be to use a simple pot to boil water and put the boiling water into it, as it's designed to function. If that is not an option, then I would at least put some type of metal plate between it and the open flame to protect the finish. Obviously, if you don't care about the finish, then just put it directly over the flame.

I dont see why not. If it boils dry a lot you might loose that nice shiny inside but it probably wont hurt anything. Cast iron is hard to damage.

I have used this one over gas. I have used other ones, similar to this, on electric stoves.

No you cannot put it above gas stove. However you can buy a small gas burner that's the same size as the alcohol burner for use. That's what I end up using.

Can the range server be placed on a direct gas flame on the stove. I want to boil water in it?
