Is this teapot safe to use on a gas range?

No. It is like other china/pottery tea pots. You boil water in a kettle and then pour it into the tea pot with you tea.

Yes. I gave a gas range and use them on there. Just be aware the TOP of the handle is steel but there is a plastic liner on the bottom to leave the handles cool to the touch. If you have the flame up too high and it goes up the sides of the pot it WILL melt your handles. If you keep the temp right, the handles are great!

I have been using this teapot on my gas stove range for over a year and a half with no incidents. Great product!

No. It may be listed as a stovetop Teapot but the instructions say not to use on gas or electric burners. Heat water and pour over tea to infuse it only. I have had 2 of these and both cracked at the handle just sitting on the counter. They are way too fragile unless the company is offering a new modle.

No, it is a teapot for steeping tea, not a tea kettle. It should not be placed on anyheated appliance. It also chips fairly easily.

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.

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 guess if you use a gas stove in your house this should be safe as well. Not a hundred per cent sure but if you have your instruction booklet, or go to the company's web site I am sure you will find an exact answer.

I use on gas stovetop with no problems. Just keep flame size smaller than bottom of kettle.

I have a gass stove top, so I can't know for sure. However, it should heat up the same way any metal pot would on that type of stove top. I've been using this particular tea kettle for many years and love it.

I would not put this teapot on an open gas flame. I have an electric stove and wouldn't put it on that type of burner either. I had a similar kind of teapot and used it on an electric burner and the bottom of the pot broke off from the heat. Of course, you can use it in a microwave. It holds six cups. Also, be aware, the pot I received was completely clear glass with no design. I thought, by looking at the pictures on-line, it would have a flowered imprint. I do like the clear looking glass though, even though it wasn't what I expected.

I researched that, too. There is no cast iron teapot for use on the stove that I can find, but people on the internet seem to be doing fine using theirs on the stovetop. The manufacturer says it could crack the enamel, so I haven't.

By Gas Range you mean a stovetop cooking surface. You should never use gas cooktops for anything other then cooking. I work for a utility company and do not recommend wasting natural gas or LPG for humidifying a room using the Dragon. If you are talking about a gas fireplace used for heating, that's a different story. The fireplace will be doing its intended purpose and the dragon will be more of a decoration then functional humidifier. Some gas fireplaces may not get as hot as a wood burning fireplace/stove, so counting on the dragon to get hot enough to make steam may be hard to do. Hope this helps.

My wife has had it for about 6 months now and loves using it weekly for broth stock, and other recipes. She boils the water with the inner pot on our gas range then puts the pot into the outer pot as instructed. We've not had any issues with the using the inner pot on the gas range.

Yes -- I have a gas stove and that's what I use mine on. I would caution you, though -- keep the flame low enough to stay on the bottom of the pot. If it comes up the sides, it may harm the seal. The only directions that come with the pot are in Japanese, but I inferred this from one of the illustrations -- and I remember getting this instruction from a kettle I had years ago. Hope this helps.

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 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!
