Do you pour hot water into it, or do you put the water in the glass and the tea in the mesh part and then set the entire thing on your stove?

I bought it for my granddaughter cause she is a tea drinker. She heats the water with something else and adds it to the Norpro. Says it makes great tea and stays warm longer.

You pour hot water into it. The base is plastic. It is a tea pot, not a kettle.

Hello,The teapot is NOT for stovetop use. The way it works is the filter is placed in the teapot. You put in the tea leaves and then pour hot water over the tea leaves and fill the teapot to the desired level. Allow the tea to rest 3 minutes or desired strength. Instructions are included. I hope this helps.

Put your tea in the mesh part and pour your hot (not boiling) water over the tea. Let steep. Depending upon the type of tea anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes. I would never set anything made of glass directly on a hot surface such as the stove.

Absolutely do NOT put this on your stove. The black part is made of plastic and will melt on your stove. Fill with hot water from a kettle.

The pot will handle boiling water from a tea kettle. Do not place on stove or in microwave. Works great have had one of these in one form or another for many years. Brew tea for any amount of time and remove the mesh basket.

You heat the water in the bottom. When it boils, you pour it over the tea leaves, which are held in the center cylinder, in the top. That way the top will stay hot, but never boil. It does a great job making tea the way people do in Turkey, which is where I know this style of making tea. We use it almost every day.

I wouldn't even if it's ok. But you can prepare your tea the same I prepare coffee. Put the loose tea leaves first. Then pour the boiling water on top. Cover with the plunger/filter at the level of the water. Wait until the desired strength and then push the plunger/filter all the down. Wait a little bit and then pour the tea in your cup. Enjoy.

You heat the water separately. We use a tea kettle (needs to hold at least 35 ounces). Pour in the hot water, stir, wait four minutes, plunge the coffee press, and voila :)

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

I've always steeped my tea in my porcelain or china pots then poured from the pot to the cups but I've never thought of putting them on the burner. I fill the porcelain w/hot water while I boil water in the tea kettle, then dump the teapot prior to filling w/the boiled water. I would not recommend putting the fine glass directly on a burner. It makes a beautiful and delicious pot of tea.

This is a double walled teapot for brewing the tea in. Although I have kept the tea warm on my woodstove it would be best to heat the water in a separate container.

Yes boil the water and put in. If you want to keep yur tea hot use a cast iron tea warmer with a tea light candle and is available for sales on Amazon also.

Be careful putting water on top. I did it but you have to make sure there's water on it all the time. Same rules as a stove apply here.

No, you need to boil the water on the stove, let it cool for 4 minutes and then pour it into the tea maker.

I use a tight weave cotton cloth, put my coffee in it, rubber band it up and drop it in the boiling water. Works great.

No you can not. You must boil the water and add it to the pot. It is a very stunning piece but any glass tea pot is some what fragil. I do love it however.

I have not used this pot directly on the stove. I don't recall whether the manufacturer said this was acceptable or not, but it just doesn't sound safe to me! I use my Hario "beehive" to heat the water, then pour it into the teapot. If you don't have one of those, then just use a regular saucepan to heat the water, then pour it into the teapot.

I don't know very much about brewing tea. I usually heat just water in it, and then pour that over the tea in my cup to steep.

I drink hot tea in mine. I place a tea bag and pour boiling water in it. I have had no problems.As a chemist I am used to working with pyrex beakers and see no difference in the quality of the beaker mug and beakers in the lab.

I use 3 family size tea bags. I heat the tea bags to boiling in a medium pot, then take off heat immediately, pour into pitcher, and add cold water and sugar to taste.
