There is nothing on the packaging or the instruction booklet that indicates that the pot is microwave safe. I've never thought to put it in the microwave so it had not occurred to me that it might not be safe to do so. Short answer is No, I don't think you can heat water with it in the microwave.

Sorry have not tried but don't see why you could not. Only meat pieces are infuser and metal screw on handle

You can use it either way. It will cook with microwaves alone or convection alone or a combination of both.

This was a gift so I don't have first hand knowledge. That being said, the write-up states it keeps the water hot which implies insulating and therefore would use more energy to originally heat the water. To use the microwave, I would heat the water in a large glass measuring cup and then pour into the teapot.

I fill the pot to the spout with water and put it in the microwave for 3 minutes. Then I put the diffuser (with tea in it) and the lid on the pot and let my tea steep.

Hi, Judith, I've put the pot in the microwave without a problem mainly to reheat prepared tea on defrost (works great---no loss of flavor) or to heat the water in order to heat the teapot. However, I would never use the microwave to heat the water for tea because it is impossible to gauge if the water is the correct temperature. My guess is that it would be difficult to find any pottery made nowadays which was not microwaveable, don't you think?

The pot should not be placed directly on the heat source. You should heat the water separately and pour it into the press.

One thing you might consider, Joe, if you lack a means to boil water on a gas or electric range, is to buy a little electric tea pot. They work well for producing boiling water and would keep you from having to worry about pulling the microwavable carafe in and out of it's plastic sleeve (which may not tolerate microwave heating). Good luck!

If you try putting this teapot in the microwave, the outside layer will get incredibly hot and the heat won't penetrate too well into the interior of the pot, like other dark shiny ceramic containers. The traditional way of making tea is to boil a kettle of water and pour the hot water into the teapot. You can use a little of the hot water to pre-warm the pot.

It will not fit in my microwave, so I heat up water in a ceramic cup and then dump it in.

Yes, the whole thing is glass. They suggest poring the boiling water over the tea in the infuser....I don't think using the infuser in the microwave would properly steep the tea. You could boil water in a pan or kettle. The floral tea pods are beautiful.

Make a full pot save the remaining and store it in the refrigerator. Then reheat in the microwave,

three options - leave out on your stove top that will melt it slowly, put in a pot of boiled water, squeeze out an amount and microwave. I recommend the first two. meg

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.

I think one should be able to heat it with hot water. I don't have this product, but i am thinking of buying it and am scared of heating things in microwave. http://www.mercola.com/article/microwave/hazards2.htm

Since we got our electric water pot I rarely microwave it any more but, yes I do sometimes rewarm my tea in micro tho rarely very high or long as we have a 12-1300 watt microwave. I love this mug. It's my second - I dropped and broke original and was thrilled to find it on Amazon as replacement of exactly same as my original. I'm a big Vincent fan. Regards, David

I do not have the pot with the wood on it, I have the just-glass carafe. It probably wouldn't hurt to put it in the microwave but I have found it very simple to heat the water in a teapot. Personally, I would not put this pot in the microwave. Boiling water could splash out the fluted top and potentially cause a burn. Just my opinion.....
