Can I boil water in this pot on the stove?

I wouldn't stove-top it. However, we've been microwaving it since new more than a month ago without problem. 15 minutes to boil, then steep three green tea bags for another 15. We "common-sewers" drink green tea by the mugful several times a day and don't like it real strong. One pot-ful lasts all day at least. Rinse twice between uses with a couple tablespoons vinegar in first rinse.

No. It's a porcelain pot. You need to boil water in a whistling tea kettle.

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.

No, to boil water on the stove you want a tea kettle. A teapot like this is for brewing tea in.

I actually killed a teapot doing that just a few months ago. Not this exact one, but one very similar to it. Teapots like this aren't designed for drastic temperature changes. If you want to warm up a pot of tea by setting it on a low simmer, the pot will survive just fine. But anything more than that? I'd be very wary of doing that.

On my gas stove my pot gets a rolling boil when I make soup and use medium to low heat. So I think you should be able to easily boil water in it. I still love my pot and use it even when making relatively small amounts of food.

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.

No. The water must be boiled separately in a pot on the stove or in an electric or regular kettle.

This is a ceramic pot into which you pour hot water to make tea. It is not a metal pot for boiling the water on a stove of any sort. .

No, it will not boil water. You could make tea/instant whatever with it as it gets plenty hot, but not boiling.

Sure you can use this to boil water for any reason. It is simply an aluminum coffee pot. Just put water only in it, set in on your stove burner or grill or hang it over your camp file from the bail. Just remember its going to be very hot so use a pot holder or oven type glove when you pick it up. You can brew your tea in it too, just put the tea bags in and then heat. Stay safe and don't get burned. :-)

No. But you should never leave the kitchen with boiling water on the stove ! So it shouldn't matter.

I do not know about induction stoves but it works like any other pot that boils water. You put a little water in the bottom, bring it to a boil and whatever you are cooking is done.

No you cannot. It is a teapot that you pour hot water into and brew the tea.

I don't know about stove. I have a ceramic cooktop so you cannot put glass on it. I have boiled water in it in the microwave.

i would not us it on the stove top. It is not meant to boil the water for the tea in. My stove is the glass top type of electric stoves and it has a hold warm stop in the center and I do put the tea pot there , once the tea is made to keep it warm.Hope this helps.

No, you would heat the water in a separate kettle. This is only a ceramic pot.
