Can you put this on the oven top and boil water?

It's too fragile for direct heat in my opinion. And the handle would be quite hot. Not meant for that.

Absolutely not. It will break. This is will be best used after your water has boiled in your standard tea staineless steel pot then poured into the glass leaf tea pot.

no you must heat the water on stove top or microwave and then pour in to tea pot

Simple answer - yes, it's made of Pyrex (borosilicate glass). But you will have a trouble to remove it from the stovetop.Just curious - why someone would put the teapot on the stovetop? if you need the glass kettle, just look for one, for example - "Yama Glass Chinese Water Kettle" here, on Amazon :)

I guess you could. There's nothing specifically I can think of that would prevent this from working, but it is definitely outside the parameters by which it was designed. I think if I were going to use it, my primary means would be to use a simple pot to boil water and put the boiling water into it, as it's designed to function. If that is not an option, then I would at least put some type of metal plate between it and the open flame to protect the finish. Obviously, if you don't care about the finish, then just put it directly over the flame.

You can pour in water right off the boil. Just don't put it on a stove burner. :)

You can cook it on the stove top in a pot. It probably won't taste as good but yeah you could

It would not work very well on the stove top. You can place a cookie sheet in the oven to set it on for oven use.

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.

To be honest I'm not sure, but I don't see why not. You can always use the "old fashion" method of boiling water as well.

Yes you can! I have a regular electric stove( coil one )It's so quick to make a hot water! I just love this!

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

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.

Yes. It's very thick sturdy glass. You can put it in the oven so boiling liquids should not be a problem.

I heat water on stove top. Probably should ck with manufacturer about micro use. I do love mine!

Yes, you can...but I boil any water that I put into my neti pot to use no matter where I get it from :)

I would NOT recommend using this teapot on a cook top. I've had great success heating my water in a kettle or saucepan and pouring over loose tea in the strainer into the pot and let steep.

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

Yes you can but I would start at high but then turn it down. Be careful when pouring water. Steam can burn your hand. All in all it is a good kettle.

sorry for being so long in answering. Was out of town. The pot is all metal so I think it should be just fine. I hadn't thought of using in in the oven but will try it with onion soup. It is the perfect shape for that. Don't think I would do the top without contacting the manufacture. Hope this helps.
