Do you use this on the stove to press and cook or is it just a press?

No, it won't work properly on the stove. You need to be able to handle it to press the tortilla's. I press the tortilla's between a sheet of aluminum foil and a sheet of plastic wrap. I pick it up with the aluminum foil and flip it on a hot cast iron pan to crisp up.

No. It's just a press to flatten tortillas and its a chintzy one at that. Doesn't do the job. My advice is to spend a bit more money and get a steel one . This one is a waste of money in my opinion.

Its just a press...and not to be placed on a stove in any fashion.....you would put the dough on it directly or over a butter paper and press it hard...once you press them you can bake those tortillas/roti on a griddle...

Just to press. Take it off the press to cook it on the stove top or in a skillet.

It is simple to use. Use it like a regular pot/pan to cook your food in and the big difference is, when the food has come to hard boil, turn off the stove and put the Saratoga pot/s in the compartment and shut the lid. This will continue to cook your food until you and your family are ready to eat. Saves time and most importantly, saves energy (which is my favorite part of all).

The more used it, the more I like it. As a slow cooker it only has one heat level...it doesn't have a high a low setting. It is very convenient to have the searing Function right there in the pot. It's also great to have the pressure cooker and the steamer in that same appliance.

This is a serving tea pot. It is not intended for use on a stove top. Fill it with boiling water from your tea kettle.

I don't understand why you would have to "cure or pre-cure" the press. It is not heated up like a cast iron skillet. I did not cure or pre cure mine (but used the plastic bag because I am gluten free) and my flours respond differently. In any case it worked fine.

A tea 'pot' is a vessel used to SERVE tea, a tea 'kettle' is a vessel you put on the stove to heat water for making tea. If you, indeed mean to use this to serve tea, then yes you can use it for that. It does have the wire mesh press mechanism inside, which is not ideal for serving. You should not, however, put this French press on your stove as it would likely become damaged.

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

I don't own a stove so I use it for everything. It works very well for cooking anything that you would otherwise cook on a stove top. It heats up very quickly and is very easy to clean up. It also heats much more evenly than a stove top burner which has a tendency to burn on the bottom.

i have put it in the oven, but i mainly use it on the stove top...cleans easily and holds alot

No, we use a tea kettle, heat the water on the stove then pour it into the french press. We don't let the water boil, just let it get to a simmer, then take it off. Hope that helps.

It serves in the role of multiple appliances because it isn't just a slow cooker, it's a pressure cooker and a steamer. It has a built-in searing function for searing prior to either of those functions so you don't need to sear on stove top separately and get an additional pan dirty.

I actually use it for something you would think is ridiculous... I use it for stir fry... if you think about it, it's high heat disbursed over a wide area, because we don't have 9,000 BTU stoves, it's actually great for that. The non stick surface really helps with it too... overall it's one of my go to pans...

I have a glass-top stove, it came with the house, I did not choose it. Considerations include, lifting the steamer, not dragging it, realizing that when it hits the appropriate pressure and you turn the heat down, it takes a little time for the the burner temp to adjust. At the end, I lift the pot and move it from the hot burner. Also, I am gentle sitting it on the stove. I use mine all the time to cook beans, so just leaving it on the hot burner can continue the cooking rather than begin the cooling process.

You can not.Even you can, I do not think it is smart to do that. This press is so beautiful, I hope it will keep shinning for longer. And I think you know to use any French press, you need to add the grounds before hot water.Last point, this vessel is double-layer, so I think it is dangerous to heat it on the stovetop for any reasons.

NO! I have poured boiling water in it, but do not place it on a stove and heat it because it will break!

I have a glass top stove. I use this pan all the time, and it does quite well on my stove top. It conducts hear well and cook evenly.

It IS a metal pan (of good quality) so it functions like any metal pan. However, I cannot imagine you using it on top of the stove to cook. I do put the pan with the juices from a roast on top of the stove to make gravy but not to cook with it.
