Can the teapot be placed on direct heat, as in a fire or stove?

No, it is used to steep tea in only. You can keep it warm with a tea light candle, but should not be placed on the stove or in a fire.

I gave it as a gift but it is made to put hot tea in and no porcelain should not be "put" on a burner. It's not for cooking.. You might be thinking of the old porcelain coated pots like my grandfather put on his stove top.

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.

No. Heat water in a metal or glass Tea Kettle then put it into the Teapot containing the tea.

No, it is a teapot for steeping tea, not a tea kettle. It should not be placed on anyheated appliance. It also chips fairly easily.

Not sure what you mean. I use a tea mug warmer at work. Is that the same thing? The teapot and cup are make of ceramic and will be able to withstand heat, except for an open flame. My granddaughter loved this present.

I don't think so. I think somewhere in the instructions or descriptions it says not to put it on the stovetop. The teapot is very thin, in my opinion, that is why a little warmer is able to heat it so well.

The reason you are not supposed to heat it over the stove is because you should not be steeping your tea in boiling water. The pot it for steeping, not cooking, and if you want to make several batches of tea with good leaves (like you should be able to), you don't want to pour water in, boil it and then reheat the leave over and over and over again when they should stay warm. This is not good for the tea.

It is not to be used on the stove. It is just to brew the tea by pouring hot water in it

I don't have one (yet) but I doubt it. There might be a little ridge for the tea light to sit in, but even if it's just flat on the bottom, the sterno is probably too tall and would get soot on the bottom of your teapot from the flame being too high.

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.

Hi, Kent. No, you should not heat this pot. The inside is lined with enamel, and that high heat would crack the enamel coating. The most heat this teapot could withstand is a candle beneath to keep your tea warm.

No, not directly on the burner. I've seen flat metal stars that can be placed between the burner and the pot.

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.

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.
