Can I use these pots on a gas burner to boil things in if I use low heat?

Yes, they can be used on a gas stovetop but it depends on the size of the burner as well as the size of the pot. It takes a little while but it does work! The steel however isn't very heavy at the base so it depends on what you're boiling. Things like milk tend to leave a brown residue but other water-based liquids are easier. Hope this helps!

Yes, I use mine for cheese making. I have used them with gas and electric they work great. Also I use them as double broilers.

Truthfully, it depends on the stove type. Yes you can; *however* when I used mine on an electric stove (with a smooth top), the largest pan became slightly warped every time it got very hot, and so my burgers ended up cooked unevenly (which I made up for by moving them around more). I have a set an my Mom's house too, and her stove uses gas flames - this is highly compatible with the pans!

My stove is electric. It is a good quality pot, but on a gas stove I would keep the burner on medium. I hope this helps :)

Yes, I have used them on a gas and electric stovetop. No problems. They work just as well as some of our Teflon pots and pans. Matter of fact we use them over a portable gas stove when camping.

I heat water in another container and pour it into the teapot. I don't think you would want the flames to touch the sides, and it is rather small, so it may not fit well on a gas burner.

On that one you got me. If I said yes I be lying but I have a gas stove and I really like the way thes pots cook and the best of it all the stay the same color insid out when it holds heat. I really like these I got rid of all my aluminum and cast iron cookware and now I only use these which are safer for cooking

You can cook on a gas stove top. However, use medium hat which will be same as high heat. These pans hold the heat very well.

I don't see why not. I have a gas range so I can't speak from experience. My only concern is that the pot is heavy so you would want to be careful not to drop it.

Yes, you can put the burner on a low heat. The beauty of this burner is the 14 inch heating area of the burner providing an even heating surfactant.

Yes! You can boil these. If you are concerned about them melting, you may want to bring your water to a good rolling boil then throw them into to the pot and put a top on it. Turn off the heat and let it sit there for about 10 minutes. Then take them out with a pair of tongs and let air dry on a clean towel. I hope this helps! :)

Just use low heat. It will boil very fast. These pots never need high heat. That is why I use them.

You can. There are precautions you can take to "condition" or oxidize your pot beforehand in order to prevent scorching and potential off-flavors, but it is not even required. The process is VERY easy and no reason why you shouldn't use the aluminum pot and no reason not to condition the pot beforehand.

It says you should not. I left burner on low for a little too long with not much in pan and it did leave a discoloration. I am someone who used to cook on high and have had to adjust but from all I read you shouldn't be cooking on high anyway. I really am liking the pans. Ives vey surprised at how light weight they were and almost was turned off by this thinking they were cheaply made but I am really liking them.

No I have gas but it should work just like any pot of boiling liquid. Just chrck occasionally until you are sure you have the right setting

Hey there - i've used them over an MSR camping stove. The only issue I ran into was a melted handle - mainly operator error by me. If you are using the pots over any sort of open flame (gas stove or word fire), you will just need to be careful to keep the rubber handles out of the flames.

Yes you can if you keep the heat low, however if you want to do it more quickly you will need to have the heat on high and stir it. The Stainless steel pot needs to have a bi-metal bottom of brass or alluminum to spread the heat.

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.
