Can this be used over and in an open flame use, such as for camping? I am concerned that the porcelain coating will melt or bubble and get into food.

I have used this several times for vegetables on my gas grill outdoors. It works very well. It does get a buildup from the olive oil or pam spray, but I would just recommend using oven spray occasionally to clean. It is well ventilated though and the vegetables won't fall through the holes.

I wouldn't. The glass isn't made for that. It's for putting on a hot plate with that'll only get so hot, not an open flame. It'll shatter.

I do not believe this is safe to use on a very hot surface. this is just a cover to put over burners when NOT in use.

I don't see why you couldn't. There is nothing on it that could melt. I only use mine for stock and it is the perfect size for that. I really love this piece of cookware. May be a bit thinner than most Dutch ovens so could brown more around the edges.

That is why we bought ours. We used the frying pan over a campfire and it worked just fine. The advantages are that the handle comes off so it doesn't get hot. You just put it back on when you want to remove the pan from the fire. Also the pans retain heat very well so if you take the pan off the fire and say set it on a wooden picnic table the food in it stays warm. Clean up was not a problem. If food sticks simply put a little water in the pan and boil it and the food comes right off. The handles are easy on and easy off.

Yes it can be used in a campfire or BBQ as I've used it on both as well as in the fireplace just because I thought it'd be fun to try to replicate recipes I'd seen done at Sturbridge Village; I assume that if you didn't have a grate to place it on then legs would be better because it would allow more air to circulate however as I live in California where there's alway seems to be a high fire danger I've never cooked anywhere but in a designated camp fire area where gratesare always part of the structure.

I use this camp heat and I'm chemist. As an user, I don't know what kind of liquid is inside. Anyway, nobody can guarantee that nothing harmful is evolved during burning process. That's why I wouldn't recommend to roast marshmallows using this heat as well as any other open flame. At the same time I cannot state that it is 100% harmful. Everything above is just my private opinion.

The pot is a beautiful brushed stainless steel like a cooking pot. Yes, I think you could use it directly on an open flame, but then I would expect it would begin to look like a cooking pot!

I have read that you cannot use porcelain on a glass top stove. We switched to a gas stove and like it much better.

We have only used ours in the oven - - so, I don't know. But, by open flame you are referring to a BQ grill I don't see why not.

You certainly can - the primary reason I purchased this was so I would not have to deal with flame-ups on my gas grill. Suggest you lightly coat it will olive oil before placing meats on it. After use, wash with warm water (no soap) and dry with towel, then it is ready for next use.

we pour boiling water into the pot over the tea leaves. I do not think it would be a good idea to heat over a flame because of the double-wall insulating properties.

The orange handles can overheat and melt but only if in direct flame. I used my set 2 weeks camping last summer without any problem.

I have used it over direct fire in a charcoal grill, so I am assuming it would be just fine over a campfire. Hope this helps!

If the crack is all the way through your tank, I believe you would need to use waterproof cement/glue first to prevent any leakage. I think this product could be used on the outside to cover up the crack so that it is not seen, but just for cosmetic purposes. I don't think this will seal any leak. It kinda' reminds me of what Liquid Paper does to unwanted marks on paper, except this covers up stuff on porcelain. I used it on my gas stove and it eventually came off, just like the original finish did. I believe it's supposed to be for high heat areas, but I'm not so impressed with it for what I got it for.

It would probably work better above the coals, on some kind of grate or grill. The open fire is obviously going to discolor and change the outer appearance of the cooker which won't make any difference in the way it cooks. I personally have never tried to use mine over open fire. I think as long as you're producing steam inside of the pot, uneven heat will not be a major factor. I do like to have the ability to reduce the heat after the initial steady stream of steam appears. A propane fire would be my first choice.
