Can this neti pot go on the stovetop? I want to boil the water in the neti pot, then wait for it to cool.

I dont think you can use it on the stove-top . First warm the water in microwave and then transfer in to the neti pot.

Stove top use would likely discolor and/or warp the bottom. If you want to use a stove, heat water in a sauce pan and transfer the boiling water to the neti pot and wait for it to cool.

I'm not sure. I would never boil water in it. I don't think its designed to boil water in it. You want warm water, about body temperature. You can use bottled water if your water supply is questionable. You can warm the water in a pan or warm it in the microwave.

I haven't used mine yet. However, I did buy two other tea pots from here and they were perfectly fine after pouring the boiling water over the teabags. I'm sure it would be fine. To make sure, I would start out with allowing the water to cool for a little while (at least one minute) before pouring, and or just pour a little at a time to see what happens.

Hi Candy, The directions say not to directly boil the water in the pot. If you are just setting it on a wood stove to keep it warm that would be ok.

I lay it across my pot. I think you could get burned holding it against the side of a pan of boiling water.

Just remember it has a very round shape and a small base area that would be in contact with a burner element on a stove. Anything with enamel you don't want to set the heat too high anyway... And cast iron really holds heat well. So you can use this on the stovetop but remember it's not really ideal for a fast boil process... more like slow cooking. So consider the needs of the recipe for cooking time etc. I really, really love mine. As other reviewers have pointed out... you can cook almost anything in it. Terrific for soups. But I do get out different pots if I want to cook something quickly. Hope this helps!

Try it. I really don't know. But, be careful; it will get hot even tho' the stovetop doesn't. Just be there while you experiment, I suggest.

This is a ceramic tea POT. To boil on the stove you are looking for a tea KETTLE. There are some exceptions, but for the most part to make tea correctly and safely you need one of each. Tea kettles are made of materials that can stand up to the extreme heat from below and cooling liquid inside/above they encounter on the stove, typically metal. Tea pots are made of materials that can stand the less-intense heat gradient from boiling water to ambient temperature, and won't impart flavor to the tea, typically ceramics. If you steep the tea in a metal kettle, you will likely get unpleasant metallic flavors in your tea, because tea is acidic and will dissolve some of the metal into your drink. If you boil water stove-top in a tea pot, it will very likely crack, possibly violently, and spew hot water everywhere. There are a relatively few pots out there made out of materials that work both stove top and for steeping. The ones I've seen have mostly been made out of Pyrex or similar materials. Do *not* assume a glass tea pot is safe to put on the stove, though. Most glass is at least as likely to explode on top of the stove as a ceramic pot, and will make much more dangerous shards. Personally, I'm not comfortable with even glassware that claims to be safe on the top of the stove.

I don't think you need to. The neti pot should be used only by one person. After each use, make sure you rinse the area that comes into contact with your nose well along with the rest of the pot. Allow it to air dry in a clean place. Don't share with another person.

No, it is not designed for stovetop use. It is for putting your tea bags in and then adding hot water.

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, I only do stovetop cooking on induction. It works very well, due to the smallness of the bottom you will need to turn up the induction unit by 10 or 20 degrees over some other cookware.

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.

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

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!

I never heat water in my teapot, but you could keep it warm on your wood stove. I don't know if it would harm your teapot to heat it on the stove.

I would think you could... It will take a lot for a pot this size to boil water.
