Is this teapot stovetop safe?

I would not say its stove top safe only cause it's such delicate glassware. It works great for its usage but I'm always afraid it might brea

Yes. But it is too small for stovetop. The teapot size is toy size. I really don't use it.
229343
No it is not! I was scared to use it on my glass stove top. I boil it and then put boiling water in the pot!

I would not recommend this teapot for stovetop. It is very delicate and can be broken easily.

Absolutely not! There are glass teapots for stove use but this is not one of them.

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.

Oh, Oh, was not aware that my red teapot was not dishwasher safe. I guess I have never put a tea pot in the dishwasher, just rinse and set on the counter ready for the next pot. I do love my Red Stoneware teapot, it is good size and the earthy red works well in my kitchen. I can find it.

I have only used this bean pot in the oven. I would not use it on the stove top, I am afraid it would break. Sorry I can't provide a better answer.

I love this teapot! Some have mentioned it being fragile.I am a bull in a China shop and it doesn't break.I have dropped the lid and it didn't even chip or crack.If you Google borosilicate glass it is lead and bpa free.

"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 think this tea pot would be safe to use on an induction cooktop, I hope so , since I plan to purchase a new electric range soon, with an induction cooktop.

I would be hesitant to serve anything hot in it, which you probably wouldn't do anyway. Tin teapot and cups would become hot also. But something cold or warm should be okay.

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 would not put this teapot on an open gas flame. I have an electric stove and wouldn't put it on that type of burner either. I had a similar kind of teapot and used it on an electric burner and the bottom of the pot broke off from the heat. Of course, you can use it in a microwave. It holds six cups. Also, be aware, the pot I received was completely clear glass with no design. I thought, by looking at the pictures on-line, it would have a flowered imprint. I do like the clear looking glass though, even though it wasn't what I expected.

NO it is not safe for an electric stove top. Just pour the boiling water into the tea pot. DO NOT put it on a burner, it will most definitely melt the plastic

No. It may be listed as a stovetop Teapot but the instructions say not to use on gas or electric burners. Heat water and pour over tea to infuse it only. I have had 2 of these and both cracked at the handle just sitting on the counter. They are way too fragile unless the company is offering a new modle.

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.

no - you would destroy the pot - try putting it on a ceramic tile - that will help keep the tea warm

I actually killed a teapot doing that just a few months ago. Not this exact one, but one very similar to it. Teapots like this aren't designed for drastic temperature changes. If you want to warm up a pot of tea by setting it on a low simmer, the pot will survive just fine. But anything more than that? I'd be very wary of doing that.

The teapot is more decorative than functional. I *might* put it on a warmer, but definitely not on a stovetop.

Ours is on the wood stove and has not been cleaned. It is coated with calcium and rust. I don't think it would be good for boiling water for tea.
