Can you put this teapot on the stove top?

I did, and noticed water on the outside. I thought it was sweating. Then one day, I picked it up to examine it closer, and the entire bottom fell off. So I would say no, don't do that.

I wouldn't recommend it. The nature of the ceramic doesn't appear to be stable enough to withstand direct heat. And I don't recall the manufacturer stating it could be used on the stovetop. Hope this helps...

If you mean over a flame, then, no...this is a teapot strictly for steeping. Otherwise, I steep on the middle section of my stove with it resting on a cozy.

No, just fill it will hot water from a kettle and add tea to steep. Pretty teapot to serve from.

NO it is not safe for an electric stove top. Just pour the boiling water into the tea pot. DO NOT put it on a burner, it will most definitely melt the plastic

Hi, Kent. No, you should not heat this pot. The inside is lined with enamel, and that high heat would crack the enamel coating. The most heat this teapot could withstand is a candle beneath to keep your tea warm.

Not really. It would discolor the pot. It is made to heat up a lot of water quickly and can then fill a tea pot.

No, you cannot. This is a tea pot. What you put on the stove is called a tea kettle.

I don't think you can heat this pot. The way to use it, will be to pour in hot water and tea leaves and allow to stand to steep in the tea leaves.

I have a gass stove top, so I can't know for sure. However, it should heat up the same way any metal pot would on that type of stove top. I've been using this particular tea kettle for many years and love it.

i believe the instruction booklet says that you can use it on stove top. I have not done this myself.

I wouldn't try it. If you just boil water and slowly poor over loose tea you tea pot will work great.

no, cast iron is not tended to be used for a stove top. You want to boil the water then add it to the pot and step the tea.

No. This is a cast iron tea pot which is not designed for cooking. To make tea, water must be boiled separately and add to the tea pot.

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.

I would think so. The glasstop (flat) stoves are safer for pots like this than coils, and I use it on coils. Just don't put in on the highest setting. If glass heats up too fast it shatters. Be careful about temp changes. I heat mine on med-high and remove it when the boiling starts, and set it on a wood cutting board right after, so it cools slowly. Or you could put it back on the eye depending on the tea temp needed. Just be graceful and careful with it.

A tea 'pot' is a vessel used to SERVE tea, a tea 'kettle' is a vessel you put on the stove to heat water for making tea. If you, indeed mean to use this to serve tea, then yes you can use it for that. It does have the wire mesh press mechanism inside, which is not ideal for serving. You should not, however, put this French press on your stove as it would likely become damaged.

I haven't tried placing it on a stove. It is sitting on a shelf as part of my tea pot collection. I usually boil water and add loose tea or tea bags then place the tea pot on top of a kettle that is placed on the stove. The tea tea is brewed on the steam from the kettle. But I have not tried brewing tea in this tea pot.

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

No! Please don't put it on the stove! To use a tetsubin, warm it first by putting warm tap water inside while the water for the tea is heating elsewhere. Then when that is done, pour out the original water and brew your tea. The cast iron will keep the tea warmer much longer than any other material, but it would damage the pot to be heated over the stove.
