Can you actually boil the water on the stove in this pitcher?

No you pour boiled water into the pitcher this is a great tea maker but is not for stovetop use

I don't know about stove. I have a ceramic cooktop so you cannot put glass on it. I have boiled water in it in the microwave.

NO, this is boil your water sep. in nice stainless steel pot, then steep your tea in this. It's a great pot I love it and it gets used every night.

No, This is a plastic pitcher. But the plastic is harder than normal which is why they have a trade name for it (accraglass?). You would need to boiled water on the stove, or in the microwave as I do with a pyrex measuring cup. Or, sometimes I use my keurig.

The instructions say no, but I have put very warm tea in the pitcher, let it sit to room temperature for an hour and then refrigerated to make iced tea. No problems (so far). I wouldn't pour boiling water in it, nor would I refrigerate right away.

You would have to ask the mfg. to see if this pitcher is made with tempered glass, before putting boiling water into it first.

i dont see why not, i have a normal stove and it does great. If you can boil water in a metal pan on your stove, i'd guess you can do the same thing with this:)

Yes, I use mine to brew tea and have added boiling hot water from my kettle. The pitcher has been room temp when I've done this, never cold from the fridge.

No problem but avoid putting the pitcher with boiling water in a chilly place. The max temperature difference is 120 c.

Either pre heat the pitcher with hot but not boiling water or put a metal knife in the pitcher before you pour in boiling water. Pre heating works best. Glass just doesn't expand very fast.

No, you cannot. This is a tea pot. What you put on the stove is called a tea kettle.

You can pour in water right off the boil. Just don't put it on a stove burner. :)

No. Just a little near the spout, but you'd have to fill it far past the fill line for water to boil against the plastic.

I haven't. I would imagine that you could though. I have filled it with boiled water and it holds up fine. Typically when I'm using it though it had been with iced tea.

Hi Eileen, You can brew your tea in this pot and pour it into your iced tea pitcher for iced tea. Hope that helps! Teavana 32 oz Perfectea Maker

Absolutely, the reason is tempered borosilicate glass. I pour boiling hot water into it all the time - no problems. Yes it is thin and this helps keep the temperature differential down. I agree you should make sure the pitcher is at room temperature before shocking it with hot water.

Sure, as long as the glass is room temperature or already hot. Just don't pour it into a cold glass pitcher or any glass for that matter. Lets say you have ice tea in the pitcher and wanted hot tea, make sure you dump the ice tea and rinse the glass pitcher with room temperature water or luke warm water, then you can pour in boiling water.

Havn't tried, but I don't think so. You pour boiling water into it, as in tea!

Yeah totally bro even boiling water, you can put the hot water in but you can't put the glass on the stove top

The question is- why would you want to. If you are into tea at this level, loose leaf, controlled brewing, etc, you should be boiling water to make tea properly. Cuisinart makes a great electric kettle that is programmable to the temps of various teas. There are others as well. Microwaving water for tea is for people who don't "get" tea.
