I haven't tried it, but I'm guessing no. The handle would get hot, I'm sure. It's not cast iron like the rest.

This is a teapot for holding tea, not for boiling water. You'll still need a kettle for that. The handle doesn't get hot when using it for serving.

I'm assuming you mean "heat up water using my dutch iron teapot," and the answer is no. The teapot is meant to have water heated up separately and then poured into the pot. If you heat up the pot directly it wil likely cause irreperable damage.

We honestly only use it as a decoration. I wouldn't attempt to heat it on a stove, I think the ceramic is too thin. However, pouring hot water into the teapot should be fine!

I wouldn't ever use it to heat water. It is a tea pot, not a tea kettle. I have noticed that people say they do use it to heat water but I don't think it's designed to so think it could damage the pot

Hi, you don't use these teapots to heat the water. You use them only to brew the tea. I use an electric kettle to heat the water, then pour it into the teapot with either loose tea in the infuser (shown) or with teabags. The teapot is never too hot to handle.

Yes, I have used this to boil water for 3 minutes in the microwave on high with no issues. Of course, be careful it will be very hot- however the handle should be OK.

you add hot/boiling water to this teapot. It just acts as a vessel for brewing the tea and should not be used to heat water in.

No, the handle does not get hot. It also works well on an induction cooktop.

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.

A tea "POT" is never put on the heat. The water is BOILED in a KETTLE then transferred to the pot to steap. Tea kettle --&gt; a tool to boil water Tea pot ----&gt; table wear to steap and serve tea. True a tea pot may be placed NEAR a stove or fireplace to slow the cooling process but it is NOT intended to boil water in.

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.

This pot is not intended for stove top use. You are supposed to boil the water in sonething else then pour it into this pot to make your tea.

The handle gets hot enough that I have to use a pot holder, but it may be because we have a gas stove with an open flame! I'm not sure if it would get that hot on a normal stove top!

no - you would destroy the pot - try putting it on a ceramic tile - that will help keep the tea warm

I would not put this on an electric stove. I would boil water and add it to the tea pot.

In my experience it is heat resistant in the sense that you can pour boiling or near boiling water into this decanter but I have never tried to heat the decanter itself on a range or stove top and don't believe I'd recommend it for that use. However, in its use as a receptacle for a coffee dripper, it works quite well! I might suggest the Hario Kettle if you're looking for a receptacle in which to heat water for use alongside this decanter and the coffee dripper.

The handle does not get too hot. I usually heat soups, leftovers and such and it has always been cool enough to touch. The pot itself will be warm to hot depending on what you're heating in it. Use pot holders if you're going to touch the pot.
