I want to buy this for my mother who like to do Asian hot pot dishes. Can I put this cooktop on a wood table? I don't want to burn the table.

I have mine setting on formica and have had no problem. The fan underneath distributes the heat. This burner is great and I love using it. The burner has four short legs and the bottom is about 1/2" off the surface it sits on.

I would not. If you have something to protect the table from the heat that is generated then maybe. i would for sure watch it and check it regularly the first two times i did that.

Yes, you can. If you want to be extra cautious and prevent fear of burning the table then place silicon trivet (12" X12") underneath.

When we use ours it is either put on a Formica counter top or or glass ceramic stove top. With that said we never noticed it getting hot on the bottom, you can always put a trivet under it just to be cautious.There is a fan for cooling the unit built in and that is what probably keeps it cool. We love it and use it quite often when the stove top is being fully utilized and we need addition cooking space.

I'm sure you can. I haven't used it because it's in our guest cottage, but it is on a wooden stand.

Would not recommend placing on hot stove top. Maybe warm at the most, but it's plastic material, therefore best on cool surface.

No! It is for oven use only. There are some other clay or stone pots on Amazon that say they can be used on stove top. Keep looking and good luck.I am a tea lover and have several tea makers, including stainless, cast iron, samovar, electric, etc. Am I missing out on something? Why do you want clay/stone for this?

It all depends on your fuel source. If you are using charcoal or wood, the hot timbers will leak out of the bottom and potentially burn the table. Never put on a plastic table. The bottom surface becomes very hot and will melt plastic. If you don't want to be hunched over when cooking I have placed it on a concrete table using propane and it worked fine. Typically this great little BBQ is best utilized on the ground free from anything ignitable. To answer your question specifically, I would not cook with it on a wooden picnic table.

I have not done so, but the surface is large enough to place cooking pots or pans on. It may prove difficult to regulate the temperature of the stove top, but you might try spacers under your cooking pans , or just lift them off for a while if it gets too hot. I keep my unit from overheating by limiting the amount of wood I load in to it.

You need to use the piece that comes with the set that allows you to use it directly on the cooktop. Otherwise, no. But it should be fine if you buy the complete 10-peice wok set. Enjoy.

The surface of this kitchen table is a finished wood and is not suitable for cutting and chopping vegetables and I think you can't put hot pans on it either.

I've never cooked on a glass top. The pot sits perfectly flat on a table,but I'm not sure if it would distort on the glass top when it warms up. I guess it would depend on how evenly the burner heats.

You could hold a hot dog on a stick in the fire. You place the firewood on the rack inside. I wouldn't try to cook the on the top.

I use one of these on both my table and counter top. The bottom of the unit does not get hot or even warm. You just need to be careful not to block the cooling fan or air vents on this cooker. It works best if set-up on any hard smooth level surface that is non-metallic, like wood stone or tile.

It was a gift for my son. He says to fill it remove the top. It does get hot but not too hot on his stove. He has a gas stove. It would probably get pretty hot on a wood stove. Just use a pot holder. He loves his and has used it several years now.

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

Yes, I have this exact pot and have used it on my wood stove. It works wonderfully.

The cutting board is made of bamboo wood - so a hot object likely would leave a burn mark!It's not advised to put something hot on it without a substantial hot pad of some sort beneath it.

I had a heat induction top when I first got this wok. I had no problem bringing it to the high heat needed for wok cooking.

Absolutely not due to fire danger. The only other safe alternative would be if you could possibly buffer between the stove top and bamboo product with a inflammable item so that the bamboo would not ignite. I would call the local fire experts at your local fire station and ask for a captain or chief's opinion on this issue....

Yes, yes. I use it on the electric cooktop myself, of course at the beginning on low and when it starts to heat and cook on higher, but this is something you have to do with all stone or clay pots.It`s great. I don`t want to miss it. I have three of them.See also the: Kyoto Maple 9-3/4-Inch Donabe Japanese Hot Pot and the Kotobuki 190-803 Earthenware Rice Cooker, Matte Black. They are the best things I ever had in my kitchen.Best wishes Adriana
