Is the teapot stovetop safe?

We don't put ours on the stove, we boil the water then pour it in the pot. Hope this he's.

I was under the impression the tea kettle was accidentally left on a burner without the individual being aware until they tried to move it. Then the copper coated disk had melted and portions that were liquified landed on the floor as pot was hoisted off of stove. May be wrong about it but I can't see under normal use there would be a problem. It's dangerous to leave anything on a burner unattended and if the teapot had no water in it...which must have been the case or the whistling would have warned that contents were hot, then who's to blame - not the teapot.

This is meant for brewing tea, so I don't know if can be heated on the stove. I would recommend getting a pot meant for the stove instead of this one just to be safe.

Yes. I make tea in but I usually reheat the tea by placing the pot on the stove and it's fine.

I'm pretty sure it is just for holding tea. I would not put it on the stove top.

We honestly only use it as a decoration. I wouldn't attempt to heat it on a stove, I think the ceramic is too thin. However, pouring hot water into the teapot should be fine!

I have never used it this way, however, I don't think it is stovetop safe based on the material.

No, I would be afraid to since it scratches easily and I don't know how solid the bottom of the pot is. I don't know if the stove top flame would burn it. I'd be careful!

I have never directly used my teapot on the stove ,I do pour boiling water over the tea and have no problems at all.

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!

Some of the teapot can be used on stovetop, it will state on the literature. I heat my water in the microwave and add the blooming tea, I enjoy this teapot very much. I have not used tea bags nor loose tea, I am sure they will work the same way, tea likes to seep. I hope I have answered your question. sincerely, Alice

No! Please don't put it on the stove! To use a tetsubin, warm it first by putting warm tap water inside while the water for the tea is heating elsewhere. Then when that is done, pour out the original water and brew your tea. The cast iron will keep the tea warmer much longer than any other material, but it would damage the pot to be heated over the stove.

I never heat water in my teapot, but you could keep it warm on your wood stove. I don't know if it would harm your teapot to heat it on the stove.

"BPA free" is a gimmick. Read the science:http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/bpa-free-plastic-containers-may-be-just-as-hazardous/?&WT.mc;_id=SA_WR_20140813Don't ask if it is BPA free, but rather if any plastic comes in contact with water, including the lid where hot steam condenses back in. This and all the electric I have seen have this problem. Some stove top teapots do not have plastic at all and I would recommend those.

I am not concerned. I have been using this particular whistling teapot for years as well as my mother and she lived to be 92 years old. Water is boiled inside so there can't be any problem as the water is boiled. It is also made in the USA. I would be more scared to use a pot that came from China since we aren't sure what is in the metal.

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.

I can't speak to the safety issue, but the quality of this stove is excellent. It is very well made and should last a long time if taken care of properly.
