I want to boil two quarts of water in a clay or stone pot on the stove top for making tea. Can I do it with this pot?

Thanks for the inquiry. The stone pot can be used on the cooktop or in oven to boil water once it immerse in water.

A tea 'pot' is a vessel used to SERVE tea, a tea 'kettle' is a vessel you put on the stove to heat water for making tea. If you, indeed mean to use this to serve tea, then yes you can use it for that. It does have the wire mesh press mechanism inside, which is not ideal for serving. You should not, however, put this French press on your stove as it would likely become damaged.

Yes you can. I use a small "sauce" crock pot that came with my large pot, and it is perfect. Watch the amount of water you put in, the more water, the hotter the stones. I fill the water level so it covers about half way up the rocks, may need to experiment a bit....Goodluck!

Absolutely. I have used both sizes of this pot for brewing hot tea. It has come in and out of the dishwasher countless times, looking like new. As with any glass tea pot you have to make sure you do not subject it to abrupt changes in temperature. Give it a swirl of hot tap water before putting tea in.

This is a ceramic tea POT. To boil on the stove you are looking for a tea KETTLE. There are some exceptions, but for the most part to make tea correctly and safely you need one of each. Tea kettles are made of materials that can stand up to the extreme heat from below and cooling liquid inside/above they encounter on the stove, typically metal. Tea pots are made of materials that can stand the less-intense heat gradient from boiling water to ambient temperature, and won't impart flavor to the tea, typically ceramics. If you steep the tea in a metal kettle, you will likely get unpleasant metallic flavors in your tea, because tea is acidic and will dissolve some of the metal into your drink. If you boil water stove-top in a tea pot, it will very likely crack, possibly violently, and spew hot water everywhere. There are a relatively few pots out there made out of materials that work both stove top and for steeping. The ones I've seen have mostly been made out of Pyrex or similar materials. Do *not* assume a glass tea pot is safe to put on the stove, though. Most glass is at least as likely to explode on top of the stove as a ceramic pot, and will make much more dangerous shards. Personally, I'm not comfortable with even glassware that claims to be safe on the top of the stove.

I wouldn't. Not that kind of pot. It is a French Press that boiling hot water is poured over the ground then plunged. It is also double walled. For use in camping, a tea kettle for water is best in my opinion.

Yes...I have a gas stove ..I have had my pot for quite some time and I am pleased with it...I am careful with the use of direct hot and cold on clay pot....

That is what I have been doing for two years and have had no problems. Remember it is very small and makes just over a cup of tea. Handle will get hot so need to use glove or pot holder.

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.

Most definitely! Here's what I do. I fill my stoneware teapot with water and then stick it in the microwave for "5 min on high" and then continuously on "hold." During this time water is heating to boiling in another pot [electric or on the stove]. When the 'tea water' reaches boiling, I empty the stoneware teapot, add three tea bags, pour in the boiling water and then steep for 4 minutes.

thank you for your inquiry. No, this teapot cannot be used on the stovetop.

Ours is on the wood stove and has not been cleaned. It is coated with calcium and rust. I don't think it would be good for boiling water for tea.

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.

No, it will not boil water. You could make tea/instant whatever with it as it gets plenty hot, but not boiling.

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 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.

This is only for boiling water. At least that is what I use it for. I make the actual tea in a separate ceramic tea pot. Hope it helps.
