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

Yes, use a protector to diffuse the flame from the bottom part of the pot. I have done and used many times for many other beverages. Use a low or medium flame.

I have not used this pot directly on the stove. I don't recall whether the manufacturer said this was acceptable or not, but it just doesn't sound safe to me! I use my Hario "beehive" to heat the water, then pour it into the teapot. If you don't have one of those, then just use a regular saucepan to heat the water, then pour it into the teapot.

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

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.

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 use any teabag or loose leaf tea that you like in the pot. I have not used the glass pot on the stove. I just pour the boiling water over the tea into the pot and steep as usual.

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!

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've never tried it but I would assume so. Pot is cast iron with a porcelain coating on the inside. I use it more for decoration

Historically, this is a bean pot not a tea pot. It was made for slow cooking of beans @ 225 degrees for extended cooking. I would not try to use for on the stove. My previous bean pot served me for 52 years. But I never used on top of the stove.!!!!!

I'm not sure why you'd want to. It's a rice cooker/slow cooker/steamer, not a pasta or lobster pot. If I really had to try, I'd probably try the steam, or quick rice setting, but either one will probably take quite a while to get there. If I need to boil water, I do it on the stove top. If you're going to try, do not put the water in it without the liner. Put the water in the liner first.

My wife boils water in the cast iron tea pot we have a electric stove and it works good....but if it is too full it boils over fast

I'm afraid it isn't. The inside is lined with enamel, and there will be enamel in your water if you boil it in this pot. There are some wonderful cast iron kettles from Japan, but they're a bit pricey. Search for "testubin kettle" rather than "teapot" to get you started.

Sure you can use this to boil water for any reason. It is simply an aluminum coffee pot. Just put water only in it, set in on your stove burner or grill or hang it over your camp file from the bail. Just remember its going to be very hot so use a pot holder or oven type glove when you pick it up. You can brew your tea in it too, just put the tea bags in and then heat. Stay safe and don't get burned. :-)

I didn't try but I think you couldn't. You can just pour in it boiled tea (as I use it and then pour tea into small cups for example when I meeting guests) or just put some tea leaves in it and pour boiling water.

No. I would never use any vessel made of ceramic, porcelain, pottery or any other suchlike material on the stovetop. Boil your water in a teakettle, then pour it into the teapot for serving. Better to be safe than sorry!

This is a serving tea pot. It is not intended for use on a stove top. Fill it with boiling water from your tea kettle.
