You say do not use it on the stove, so you boil water and then pour it in? This will be my first teapot so I wanted to be sure it is what I need

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.

This is a teapot for holding tea, not for boiling water. You'll still need a kettle for that. The handle doesn't get hot when using it for serving.

You do not put this pot on the stove or in the micrrowave. Put your water in a kettle to warm up on the stove then pour it into your pot.

The tea pot is not meant to be used on a stove or in a microwave. It is a steeping pot only.

I don't use the stove for this tea pot. I recommend the tea light warmer. It looks great on the table especially with blooming teas and it will keep the tea warm for at least an hour.

No and no. Put the tea leaves in the basket, pour boiling water into the basket and then put the press cover on, leaving the rod out while the tea brews. After the brewing time (depending on the tea leaves, I use 4-7 minutes), press the rod down to stop the brewing process and enjoy. I would not put the pot on a hot burner and never in a microwave because the basket is made of metal.

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

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

That's how I use mine. Let the water sit about a half minute off the boil. Better for the coffee or tea that way.

No. You could microwave the water then pour it in, I just use a tea kettle on the stove. Doesn't even have to be boiling.

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

Ours is on the wood stove and has not been cleaned. It is coated with calcium and rust. I don't think it would be good for boiling water for tea.

I have looked at these types of pots at teavana, and was told you CANNOT heat them directly on the stove; I reccomend purchasing one of the warmers to keep the tea hot after making.

Some of the teapot can be used on stovetop, it will state on the literature. I heat my water in the microwave and add the blooming tea, I enjoy this teapot very much. I have not used tea bags nor loose tea, I am sure they will work the same way, tea likes to seep. I hope I have answered your question. sincerely, Alice

You need to put a wire on the burner and use a low heat. The teapot will keep your tea nice and hot this way, without hurting the teapot. Enjoy!

No, you cannot put boiling water for tea directly into this pitcher. I gave this for a gift, and at first she wasn't going to tell me that she did just that, and it cracked. She said that she should have tempered it first by filling it warm water and letting the glass get warm 1st (let me also add... put it on something besides a cold countertop also.) Once the glass has gotten warm over a few minutes, then I "think" it would be fine for the hot tea. I still wouldn't put boiling tea right off of the stove. I would let it cool just a bit. You might had rather buy a pitcher that is made of tempered glass, if you don't want to go through the ritual and waiting. It's a great size, though, for a crowd. I was really sorry to hear that hers broke. She was so happy to receive it as a gift.
