Can this be used on hot liquids or solids, such as hot boiled potatoes off the stove, or boiling hot liquids?

Yes, you can use it in hot foods. I have used right in the stove top to puree soup.

This is meant for brewing tea, so I don't know if can be heated on the stove. I would recommend getting a pot meant for the stove instead of this one just to be safe.

As far as I know it can be used on any cooking surface on which any other pan can be used. I have used it on electric and gas stoves as well as my Weber grill. Hope this helps.

The instructions say not to use it with very hot liquids. You might be able to do it but it may not last as long.

I don't really think it would be best for boiling water on a stove top. You can definitely microwave water to be very hot with this, I would not put it over the stove.

I wouldn't use it that way. It's designed to have hot liquid dispensed into it, not have heat directly applied to it from a stove top. I think the glass might crack/break.

I haven't tried it but I don't see why not. I put hot pans right off the stove on it so heat can't hurt it. I usually just hand wash mine shake it off and put back down. cleans easily.

For an electric stove, I'd use the burner grid that is sold for Chemex, which would keep it from direct contact with the burner.Chemex Stainless Steel Wire Grid for Use on Electric Stove, 6.5 InchI would definitely -not- use this for boiling water (as was originally asked in this question); it's not a teakettle. But it does just fine on a low heat for many hours, and is "heat-proof" so clearly made to withstand such use.

I would not suggest using it on a glass top stove since the pot is used for cannning and the water inside must be boiling hot for a set period of time. The pot and the glass jars (filled with fruits, veggies, etc.) would be extremely heavy and very hot and would put far too much pressure on the stove top possibly even cracking the glass top.

not a good idea to use this on the stove top. It only has a wire mesh bottom so anything that cooks out of your food will end up on the stove top. I guess you could use it on a gas stove burner to grill veggies .

I haven't tried. But it says on the instruction that it is not for use with hot liquids. It's for cold liquids only and hot liquids may cause burns.

To be honest I'm not sure, but I don't see why not. You can always use the "old fashion" method of boiling water as well.

Yes and no. We use it to heat and keep warm canned corn, peas, vegies, meat balls, sauses etc. Ths way you don't need to keep all these items on a stove. Preheat them and put in one of the pots. They are out of the way and you can concentrate on the main meal items.

YES, it can be used on any type of cooking surface including convection. It' s the best pot I own and worth every dollar!

I think you should be able to. I did mine on the stove and it worked great.

Haven't used it lately. Yes, you can boil liquids and I have used it like a skillet.

you can use on any stove except for induction stove. Please use low to medium fire only to prevent crack. And cool it all the way down before putting into the sink for washing.
