Does the water have to be boiled using in another pot and transfered to this pot

Yes, the trim is plastic so you cannot use it on the stovetop and there are metal screws holding it together so it can not be used in the microwave. But I love my pot. It makes 2 perfect cups of tea for each teabag.

This pot is not intended for stove top use. You are supposed to boil the water in sonething else then pour it into this pot to make your tea.

The pot should not be placed directly on the heat source. You should heat the water separately and pour it into the press.

No. The first one I had worked every time, for seven years. I only boiled water, nothing else. My first one finally died two years ago. I bought a second one, and it works every time. I only boil water. I don't cook with it, or heat any other liquid. I use it at work to boil water for tea or hot chocolate. I unplug it after each use, and don't leave water sitting in it over the weekend. I use it at work from September to June, never over the summer.

No, you would heat the water in a separate kettle. This is only a ceramic pot.

No- paperwork states only water should go in the pot....this is an AWESOME teapot!

That depends on the Btu, elevation, starting temperature of the water, and the quantity of water. Either way, it serves its purpose and brings water to a boil just fine.

No. But that allows for the moisture from the clay pot to be absorbed into the food. You need to soak the cooker in cold water for at least 20 minutes prior to putting food into it.

Your not supposed to use boiling water. The water should be slightly warm. I've never had issues with it being too hot.

Yes but I would not pour boiling water in it. The pot is made of thin glass

Yes, the water (I wouldn't put any other kind of liquid in this pot) does not come in contact with the heating element. Mine also has a metal tube up one side but I do not know what its function is.

You can, but you don't need to. Once the pan is seasoned, simple hot water will do fine.

Using boiled water that has been cooled along with mineral drops is important. Are you doing these things?

Yes. I just open the lid and manually pour water in. It automatically begins boiling after you pour water in and close the lid.

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

I never poor the water in the pot until I'm ready to make coffee. However, I never use hot water. The instructions say to use cold.

The recommended method is to add Hot water to pot. I would think that is the safest method.
