Has anyone used the teapot on an electric coil range? I had a gas stove for it, new home has electric stovetop.

I have an electric range, and have never had a problem with my teapot. I never use the high setting though. I find it boils well at just a little past medium. It might take a little longer, but I don't mind.

I have only used it on gas. I would make sure you have a metal coil between the stove top and the kettle. I am not sure that the kettle can take the direct heat. Also, my kettle was short lived. The top cracked as I was putting it on the kettle. It is now a vase.

I have a flat top electric stove and the tea pot works well without a wire. I don't know if you need a wire for coil style electric stove.

I have the "smooth top" electric stove. That said, I think that the 8" coils may be an issue.

Yes, absolutely ! I've been using it on an electric stove top with coil and it works fantastic. Set it to "high".

It is my understanding that it can only be used on a gas range but I believe they make one for electric stovetops too.

I bought this tea kettle and I use mine on an electric range. I don't turn the burner up past #5 as it could burn the bottom of the pot if the coil gets too hot. I did burn up my previous one when I turned on the heat under it and it had no water in it. That's why I bought the Cuisinart from Amazon. Hope this helps you make your decision. I love mine.

I have a glass top electric and yes it works perfect on that surface. I really don't see why you couldn't use on electric coils. I use my Fino pot every day and absolutely love it.

Quite easily! We have a 220-Volt stove with electric coils. The pot will shake a little if the coils are uneven, but that's not a real problem. This is a great product, especially for pour-over coffee (we have a Clever dripper).

There is a version for gas and electric stoves. The gas version which is pictured has the heat exchanger as an integral part of the product, so it is only appropriate for a gas stove top and would not work on an electric stovetop. I find the gas stove version of the kettle heats quickly on medium heat saving energy.

My sister has one of these and she used it at my Mom's, on an electric stove. I have a different model, and wea also used mine. Both worked just fine. Of course, I prefer using my gas stove, but...

i have a glass top electric stove and had no problem with the tea kettle. it would have to be made with tempered glass to be a tea kettle. just don't drop it on the floor like i did!

I would err on the side of caution and say don't use it anymore. If you've burned the chrome coating off the copper, there's a good chance you have compromised the seams of the kettle or maybe also the soldered connections that hold the "heating element" to the bottom. It was an unfortunate mistake that can happen to anyone. Trying to do too much at once, while making tea! Sorry this happened to you and your VERY EXPENSIVE kettle, but I wouldn't risk using the kettle again. Do you have money? Use it as a pretty flower pot and buy another!

Sorry, I have a gas stove, but I love this tea kettle. Large capacity, easy to fill at center and one hand operation - one button to open, another to close spout. I hope you can find a way to use it with an induction range.

I actually have a gas burner and find this kettle to be just fine. I am told this kettle will also work on an induction or electric range; however, you may want to note that there is a slight ridge around the outside of the bottom so that the entire bottom does not lie flat on the surface. It may cause heating to be slightly longer, using a fraction more energy. I found this kettle to be great because of clear whistle, beautiful shine, easy grab handle (though I use an oven mitt), easy cleanout because of wide opening. Mechanism works well; I have no complaints...nice kettle!

Just put the kettle on the medium gas range & it'll be fine. Don't put it on high or super high. I'm at 4500' elv. & works great. Have had my RR tea kettle for nearly a year & no porcelain melts.

i would not us it on the stove top. It is not meant to boil the water for the tea in. My stove is the glass top type of electric stoves and it has a hold warm stop in the center and I do put the tea pot there , once the tea is made to keep it warm.Hope this helps.

I'm repeating this answer everywhere I see reference to questions regarding induction so may get repetitious for some. I have a GE Profile Induction Range and this tea kettle "does" work on an induction range. The bottom of the teapot is almost 9" across. There is a copper disc in the center, 2.5" all the way across, that is slightly recessed (and obviously would not touch the glass of an induction range top). Around that disc is a 2-1/4" across band of stainless (which is the only portion of this teapot bottom that touches the range top). Around that is an outer band, width 1" that is recessed 1/4" (and does not touch the range top). So, you have from center to outer edge, a copper disc (slightly recessed), a stainless band (that touches the range top), and then an outer recessed band (that does not touch the range top). The center disc is measured not from center point but in it's entirety. All combined these 3 components make up the almost 9" of surface on the bottom of the teapot. Rest assured the amount of stainless that touches the cook top is plenty sufficient for heating and it works perfectly. I'm very happy with the purchase.
