Can I heat it up with electric stove ?
1852470
I would not. This is the type of kettle that you want to pour hot water into; not the type of kettle you want to heat water with.

I have never tried but I do not think so. I use an electric kettle for water and pour into it. I don't think this ceramic container would work as a heating device.
1852472
I wouldn't do that. I don't think the ceramic is thick enough to be on an electric stove.

I would not try it. I have not seen anything about that in the literature that came with the teapot. Please remember this is a small teapot, I get two servings of about 10oz each, so I haven't had a problem with it getting cold. One old trick to keep the tea hotter, pour boiling water into it to warm it BEFORE you make the tea. Then boil your tea water, dump the cooled water out, and the pot is warmer to begin with. (My best suggestion for keeping tea warm is to go with a glass pot instead, I used a Melita coffee pot for this, and you can put that on an electric warmer plate and keep it hot for hours.)

I don't believe it is intended to be placed directly on a heating element. This is a teapot, not a tea kettle. You put the tea leaves in here, and then add hot water which has been heated in a tea kettle, or other pan.

No, I wouldn't put the pot directly on the burner of any stove. It's ceramic and doesn't have any marking on the bottom (well, mine doesn't at least) that indicates that it's safe to put it on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Yes - this absolutely can be used on a gas stove. In fact it is going to be better on gas than electric because equalizing the heat with two burners is easier with gas.

Sort of. The heat needs to be much lower than you think. You need a generous spray of PAM. I am still figuring out the whole temperature issue. We have an electric stove. I preheat the pan with the heat on about 3 (lower heat). Spray with Pam when heated & add egg. Then I turn off heat because my husband likes them over medium. There's enough heat to cook it perfectly. But don't be stingy with the spray PAM.

definitely yes. it has a spark igniter similar to outdoor barbeques. there is no electricity required to use it.

Yes you can use the grill pan on electric burners. I have used mine that way

Absolutely. It is save for gas or electric stove top or oven. I have cooked on stovetop and in oven with very good results. Other than being very heavy, it is a great addition to our kitchen!

This should not be used on an electric stove. For an electric stove, you need a flat bottom wok. It can damage the burner and the wok may not heat up as fast. If you search for "Flat bottom wok" on Amazon there are be plenty of alternatives, including this 14" carbon steel flat bottom wok also sold by the Wok Shop (http://www.amazon.com/Carbon-Steel-Wok-Handles-bottom/dp/B00394VE5Y/).

Yeh..we got one last year and have electric stove.. it fits nice and firm...

Yes! I have a flat top electric stove and it works great. I put it on my largest burner at about medium to medium high.

I also have electric, and once you get your temperature adjusted it works just fine. It's just a little trickier adjusting the temp with electric because, at least with my stove, the heat switches are staged rather than infinite. Short answer? I got good results with electric.

I use this pot on a gas stovetop, but it is Pyrex so it should be fine on an electric burner.

I would think that any heat source would Work with this item. I don't use electric so I can't say for sure. If you have used cast iron on your cook top before then I wouldn't see a problem.

I imagine both gas and electric. I have an electric stove and the saucepan is fine. Just don't use real high heat.

Noreen, this is not electric. I have used it on the grill or open fire. I take it camping, the back yard, the kitchen, you name it. If it is hot, if it has coals, I can cook with it. Noreen, I suggest you go on line and look at the site, http://www.cancooker.com/ all your questions will be answered there. Noreen, I use it a lot. But I am also a huge fan of the cast iron camp fire cooking pans. I think a lot of it has to do with being different and having a great meal to share. Please, make sure this is what you want before you purchase. Like I said, I use it and I love it.

I wouldn't know, but with an electric stove top, you need to watch your heat. I set it at med-high to get the grill hot, then turn down to med-low. The skillet retains the heat for grilling evenly. I love my little grill pan!

I would guess that it would heat up. The bigger problem is that the finish is very rough and would probably scratch the induction cooktop.

I don't know why you couldn't use it on an electric stove or hotplate, I use it on a gas stove. You have to watch it carefully so it doesn't boil over though.
