Can the tea kettle be used on electric, convection and glass stove tops without issues?

This one with the holes and coils in the bottom is made for a gas stove top. There's another model with just a flat bottom made for electric/glass stove tops.

The one in the picture is heat flow optimized for heating with gas and is the one I bought and use on a Gas stove. I don't know if there is a restriction to using it on electric - I assume you have both gas and electric. I'd check with Simplex and they do have kettles for strictly electric use.

I the kettle is designed to work properly on a glass, wood or coal flame. The coils around the inner perimeter transfer flame heat into the bottom of the kettle which in turn quickly heats the water.

I use the kettle twice a day on an electric stove top and experience no issues or problems.

Yes, it can be used on a glass cooktop, and a regular electric spiral cooktop. I have done both without any issue.

No, basically not because the glass is conected to the heating element which is within this silver part just underneath the glass (see the picture). All electric kettles work that way and they must not be immersed in water. From the outside you would just clean them with a sponge or a cloth. In general electric kettles are really good if you need to cook water fast. There are all kinds of electric kettles out there but based on my experience I would make sure to get a stainless steel or glass kettle and not plastic. Also the heating element should be hidden and not be visible like on really cheap kettles.Hope this helps! :-) Michael No, basically not because the glass is conected to the heating element which is within this silver part just underneath the glass (see the picture).

thank you for your inquiry. No, this teapot cannot be used on the stovetop.

I wouldn't think so. Have always used on gas flame myself. I think the design of the base of the kettle is indicative of that - use on gas. But, having said that, I haven't tried it. In that scenario I think I'd use an electric plug in the wall unit as is popular in the UK & Ireland and efficient from my experience.

I have a regular electric stove and it works great! Don't see why it wouldn't work on a glass top.

Yes it can. We have a flat top glass stove and it works just fine. The bottom is flat, not rounded as other woks are.

I know it can be used on electric ranges. I'm not very familiar with cooking practices on glass top ranges, but I presume so. I would recommend checking you owners manual for advice.

Works great. We've used it on our glass top electric stove with no problems.

Nope. My kettle works wonderfully on my gas stove at highest heat. No melting, no discoloring, nothing. It's great!

I don't have a glass top (I have electric) so I've not tried, but the recommendation from the manufacture indicate the cookware should not be used on glass tops. And, the bottom of the pans are coated in the same material as the sides.

Yes, you can use it on a glass top stove. The bottom is no more abrasive than other cookware and will make good contact with the stove surface. Just set it down gently.

We don't have the answer to that question. Suggest you check with the manufacturer. Have never used on a glass top stove. Good Luck.

I purchased this tea kettle for my daughter and she has an electric stove. I don't know any reason why you couldn't use it on a gas stove, it's a Mr. Coffee, after all!!
