Hi! I like this pot but before I buy it want to know if I can boil water in it on stove on fire? TT hanks

I don't think so... I always boil the water in a kettle first and then pour it in. The glass feels fairly thin and delicate.

No. You have to heat the water in a regular teapot. You can't put it on an eye, electric or gas.

Yes, you can boil water on the Toaks Titanium pot and you can do it on a regular or backpacking stove. When we are hiking we normally boil water and then add mac n'cheese or something that only requires water so it's easy to cook.

Thanks for the inquiry. The stone pot can be used on the cooktop or in oven to boil water once it immerse in water.

Hi Randy,I am really sorry, but I don't know the answer to your question. I use it solely on an old electric stove to boil water. Check with the manufacturer.Vermont Country Store also carries this pot.

it could boil water, but I don't recommend this cooker because the coating on the inside is flaking off already!!!

The info on Amazon said it was stove top safe but surprisingly there is not one line of info included! I don't think it should be put on the stove-- I think it would fracture. I am thinking about buying the candle warmer that they sell because the tea just does not stay hot very long. It is real cute but really not very functional. Good luck!

You can pour in water right off the boil. Just don't put it on a stove burner. :)

I wouldn't. Not that kind of pot. It is a French Press that boiling hot water is poured over the ground then plunged. It is also double walled. For use in camping, a tea kettle for water is best in my opinion.

Hello, Kristen. Although odd that you did not receive instructions and a box, you can still be okay. Fill the pot to the desired level with cold water. Place the basket and stand inside. Put fresh coffee grounds in the basket. You can heat on a stove or over a camp fire. The water will percolate into the glass atop the pot - it's acutally pretty cool. WHen it stops, the coffee is done. BUT, the handle is probably hot, too - use a mitt. Enjoy!

I have never directly used my teapot on the stove ,I do pour boiling water over the tea and have no problems at all.

I guess it depends on what you want to cook. I use it to boil water over my camp fire, but we also make tea in it.

You probably could, however, fairly certain the outside would become darkened and marred. Sure in a pinch you could throw it into a camp fire. We always use a tea pot and transfer the water to it. Good luck i too enjoy trying it a different way. Ya know i think the press would become too hot to hold if you heated it up. Sorry i do not have a definite answer.

If you could build a fire then go ahead and do so, hope you have something to put the water in to boil it and something to sit the pot on top of the fire, if you have a pot and can build a fire then you have that option....this is just another option to have if you don't have the tools or know-how to build a fire. This is great to have...when it's sunny or bright outside and it's all inclusive, no matches, no pot, no setting up over a fire...just another option to have.

I use mine on a gas stove because heating water and transferring it is inconvenient. The directions included say you can heat it on any stove as long as it's not empty and the flames don't exceed the bottom edge of the kettle. That'll keep it shiny. To avoid burning the kettle on accident, my advice is that you absolutely don't put it on the stove unless you've filled it and that you empty it and put it away when you're done. Polish it up every so often with a simple wash and buff dry so that oils from fingerprints etc don't discolor it as it's heated. I've used mine so many times that I can tell when the water is at temperature by the sound and elapsed time. I use a digital thermometer for a more accurate double check. The water is at about 195 F as soon as tiny bubbles appear at the bottom--ideal for coffee. Another note, directions say to only fill to the second line to avoid overflowing boiling water. I can do a manual coffee brew for 2 at *most* including prewarming the brewer. If you want to serve more, get the 1.2 liter... or a Bonavita which is much cheaper anyway :)

we pour boiling water into the pot over the tea leaves. I do not think it would be a good idea to heat over a flame because of the double-wall insulating properties.

just be careful of flames going up the sides and melting the plastic on the handle material. I used it on a msr pocket rocket which is high heat and no problems. So far it has been a great pot. You might consider using it with something like a Caldera Cone Sidewinder for best performance with an alcohol burner.

I guess you could. There's nothing specifically I can think of that would prevent this from working, but it is definitely outside the parameters by which it was designed. I think if I were going to use it, my primary means would be to use a simple pot to boil water and put the boiling water into it, as it's designed to function. If that is not an option, then I would at least put some type of metal plate between it and the open flame to protect the finish. Obviously, if you don't care about the finish, then just put it directly over the flame.
