Are you able to heat water in a microwave with this teapot?

Yes you can heat water in the microwave in the teapot. I also have a sunbeam hot shot that is great for heating single serve up to 2 cups of water.

Yes, I just tried it for the first time now and it works just fine in the microwave. It is just so cute! Have a wonderful day. Sharon Shifflette

The lid does work without the infuser, the metal band is part of the infuser and I have never put the pot in the microwave so I can't answer that. I wouldn't put the pot in the microwave, but as long as the infuser is out I don't see why it couldn't be done. Keep in mind, borosilicate glass is pretty fragile. Secure the lid when pouring, otherwise u run the risk of making the same mistake I did. Hope this helps

No you cannot. It is a teapot that you pour hot water into and brew the tea.

I never heat water in my teapot, but you could keep it warm on your wood stove. I don't know if it would harm your teapot to heat it on the stove.

I do not have the pot with the wood on it, I have the just-glass carafe. It probably wouldn't hurt to put it in the microwave but I have found it very simple to heat the water in a teapot. Personally, I would not put this pot in the microwave. Boiling water could splash out the fluted top and potentially cause a burn. Just my opinion.....

Yes, the trim is plastic so you cannot use it on the stovetop and there are metal screws holding it together so it can not be used in the microwave. But I love my pot. It makes 2 perfect cups of tea for each teabag.

You can--but why would you want to have to clean that big pot for just one cup? I brew a full pot of tea in the morning and drink tea throughout the day--reheating each cup in the microwave.

No. It's a porcelain pot. You need to boil water in a whistling tea kettle.

Unfortunately with this model you cannot make the water hotter. However, it helps to warm the cup briefly in the microwave.

My husband heats his tea in the microwave. I do not recall the handle getting too hot. It takes 2 minutes to get water hot enough for the tea bag. So, we have not boiled anything longer than that. I use a regular tea kettle to boil water for my tea.

This tea pot does not have a whistle on it, I do not use it on the stove top. I use this exclusively to heat water in the Microwave. I fill it up and put in the microwave for 5 minutes. Presto I have a full pot of hot water for tea. I use this pot almost every day.

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.

I actually gave this as a gift, so idk for sure. However, I would assume that you shouldn't. Its more decorative...so id heat the water on the stove in a pot, then pour and brew tea in the tardis. I would also think you could heat it in the microwave.

you add hot/boiling water to this teapot. It just acts as a vessel for brewing the tea and should not be used to heat water in.

I haven't done this myself, I still boil water in a kettle first, but stoneware is fired at such high heat that it should be possible to heat the water right in the teapot, in the microwave. The only problem you may have, is the teapot could get very hot, including the handle.

Martha -- I don't use microwaves because it has been shown that they chemically rearrange the food (and drinks) in ways that the body cannot recognize. In addition, since microwaves emit energy that is harmful, just being near them is damaging to your health. So, I don't know if this cup can be used in a microwave, but I would advise against it simply because it will harm the water and tea. A Google search will disclose the MANY dangers of microwaves. Russia banned them many years ago for this reason. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't even try to microwave it. The honey in mine crystallized and when I tried to pull open the lid it broke. That is how delicate the pot is. It is blown glass and very breakable.
