Yes. It is a tea KETTLE not a tea pot. It is designed to be filled with water then heated on a stove until the water boils. It should work on gas, electric, wood, coal, or peat - it probably would not worked suspended over an open fire in a fireplace or a campfire - but it might.

Yes, mam. I use mine on an electric stove top, but it could also be used on a gas burner.

I used it on my electric stove with coil burners and now with my new glass top electric stove. Don't know anything about gas.

We use this for our gas stove (it's perfect except we can't find a whistle that will fit it to save our lives). I'm not sure about electric.

gas, electric / makes no difference. Its just a stovetop cooker that needs to boil.

I used it on electric stove top when I lived in VA. Here in CA. I have a gas stove. I prefer it on gas but electric does work. However, I would NOT use it on a glass top stove.

Have gas stove; however, after a year plus use, the teapot still looks quite new, very sturdy, no complaints at all.....Don't see why electric would make a difference.......

I use it on an induction and it works great. There is no reason why you can't use it on electric or gas.

I purchased this unit for my wife's birthday. I assembled it at the camp ground. It's electric. The griddle worked fine! I'm not sure how the gas version would work.Mike!

I never tried but I did use it on a gas stove. I would assume an electric would work fine. You could just lay in directly on the burner. We love ours.

The one in the picture is heat flow optimized for heating with gas and is the one I bought and use on a Gas stove. I don't know if there is a restriction to using it on electric - I assume you have both gas and electric. I'd check with Simplex and they do have kettles for strictly electric use.

I haven't tried on gas-range stoves, but on electric, it's just fantastic and warms faster then expected. It's been a successful purchase.

I use mine on a flat top electric stove. It took some getting used to but works well for me.

Yes, it is able to be used on electric stoves. Be careful it's not set too high!

I assume you can use it on both gas and electric--my stove is electric. However do you really want to own this? The glass seems really thin and the plastic insert has a strong odor that I couldn't get out and made the coffee taste funny. I stopped using mine after 4 pots of it.

I use it on high all the time. I do have a gas stove though, so I have no idea if it is a problem with an electric stove.

I use an electric stove. I would think being T-fal it would work on a gas stove. I love my griddle, I use it all the time. The large handles with the heat safe handles are great.

It's a glass container so if you put it on an electric element it will break -- should be OK on a gas stove. For electric, put a triangle of wire (like coat-hanger wire) on the burner first, then the container on top of that. At least that's how I used to do it; don't bother now, just drink my coffee faster!

I haven't had an electric stovetop for ages, but don't see why not.....guess it would depend on the placement of the elements....I just know it is terrific with my new gas range....I also use it under the broiler to "grill" my K-bobs.

I use it on a gas stove, but the bottom is very flat and should work well on a glass-top electric.
