Could you please tell me if this teapot can be used on the cook top ?

No, that would damage it. This pot is designed to steep loose tea. According to this tradition, boil water in a kettle or saucepan on the cook top & then drizzle the boiled water thru infuser to fill pot. This is a wonderful teapot if you use loose tea (black, green, etc.) and offers the advantages of the removable infuser, which can be hard to find. The infuser holds the tea & can be extracted from pot when tea has steeped the desired number of minutes, leaving you to enjoy your brew at your leisure, without it becoming bitter from over-steeping.

Not supposed to be. You need a tea kettle for that, this is a tea pot for serving the tea.

I did use it on my flat top stove...I Loved it, until the handle broke off within 2 weeks of use.

I would not try that. It would break I'm sure! Better to be safe than sorry!

I would NOT recommend using this teapot on a cook top. I've had great success heating my water in a kettle or saucepan and pouring over loose tea in the strainer into the pot and let steep.

I would think so. The glasstop (flat) stoves are safer for pots like this than coils, and I use it on coils. Just don't put in on the highest setting. If glass heats up too fast it shatters. Be careful about temp changes. I heat mine on med-high and remove it when the boiling starts, and set it on a wood cutting board right after, so it cools slowly. Or you could put it back on the eye depending on the tea temp needed. Just be graceful and careful with it.

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

Yes, yes. I use it on the electric cooktop myself, of course at the beginning on low and when it starts to heat and cook on higher, but this is something you have to do with all stone or clay pots. It`s great. I don`t want to miss it. I have three of them. See also the: Kyoto Maple 9-3/4-Inch Donabe Japanese Hot Pot and the Kotobuki 190-803 Earthenware Rice Cooker, Matte Black. They are the best things I ever had in my kitchen. Best wishes Adriana

I would not put this on an electric stove. I would boil water and add it to the tea pot.

I know this question is about 1-1/2 yrs. old, but thought I would answer it anyway! Yes, you can use this pan on the stove top. It's especially convenient when you want to make a sauce or gravy after you've roasted your meat.

The tea pot is not meant to be used on a stove or in a microwave. It is a steeping pot only.

I purchased it as a gift, so I don't know. But you can test it by putting a magnet on the bottom of the teapot. If it sticks, it should work on an induction cooktop.

If you mean on a stovetop, then the manufacturer says no. It's designed for steeping tea only. But you can get a candle heater to keep the tea hot.

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 recommend this teapot for stovetop. It is very delicate and can be broken easily.

Just checked the Cuisinart site. This pot will not work on an induction cooktop.

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

No, it is not designed for stovetop use. It is for putting your tea bags in and then adding hot water.

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 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.
