Is this kettle compatible with a conventional electric range that has surface burner elements? No mention of trivets included or necessary.

i have a glass top electric stove and had no problem with the tea kettle. it would have to bemade with tempered glass to be a tea kettle. just don't drop it on the floor like i did!

I'm not sure about using on an electric stove, as min is gas. But this kettle has a MAJOR design flaw. When you raise the lid and try to pour the boiling water from it, the steam escapes backwards is redirected toward your hand, causing steam burns. It is difficult to use and very uncomfortable. I am looking for a replacement.

Yes, we've been using it indoors on our gas range. The handle gets pretty hot if you heat the kettle on high so we usually slow boil instead.

It was a gift for my neice. I do know that she adds boiling waste and let's the tea steep. Sorry, I don't know if she has used a stove unit on it.

I have a regular electric stove, it works fine on it. I spend more money and bought a Nordic Ware, it works great and since it islarger I can do the job in half the time.

good question. that's what I have, and the kettle works. but the top was already scratched. are you asking about whether the kettle will function or about scratches? I'd love to know, because I'm looking at a new stovetop.

I use mine only to brew beer outside on a gas burner, My burner is like one that is used on a turkey oil cooker. I don't think it would fit real good on am electric burner on a range top due to it's large size. But since it does have a clad bottom the heat should transfer well anyway. To see how it would fit cut you a string Half the width of the pot. With your burner cool to the touch and off. Hold one end of the string in the center of the burner, Pivot the other end of the string around the burner in a circle motion. This will show you how much the pot will over hang your burner or if it will even fit on your range top. You would want to center the pot on the burner for best results.

Just an edit to previous reply. I have a glass top flat surface stove. I'm sure results would be different if using electric burners.

I'm sorry, I don't know. I purchased this as a gift for my daughter who has an electric stove with coil burners. But she is very happy with it. I found the following excerpt on the Internet......Mr. Coffee Hartville 2 qt Whistling Tea Kettle, 74264.02, Red ... This teakettle can be used on an electric or gas stove, not to used on induction cooktops. ....

Never tried it... But if you do plan to use it that ways you may damage the outer color and the polish inside the kettle. And also remember that this is made up of cast iron and would be super hot if used with stove top. Let us know how it goes...

No the heating element is not exposed. Read the reviews about the kettle and investigate well before you buy it. Mine broke during the warranty period and was leaking water. I sent it back.

This kind of trivet is not meant to be used on a burner. A "wire" or coil type of metal trivet is the type of guard you should use between a pyrex pot and an electric burner. See Chemex wire trivet/guard on Amazon at Chemex Stainless Steel Wire Grid for Use on Electric Stove, 6.5 Inch

Hi,We are using the Duxtop Whole-Clad Tri-Ply Stainless Steel pots on our convection unit only, but it doesn't mean that you cannot use them for an electric Stove. The perfect answer can only be provided by the company support dept.

I use on gas stovetop with no problems. Just keep flame size smaller than bottom of kettle.

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.

Short answer: Yes.Long answer: Yes, like pretty much any stovetop kettle. It depends on the amount of water and how you're heating it: small amount of water and/or electric stove, probably not; large amount of water and/or gas stove, likely too hot. We found it's usually borderline hot, but we use a gas stove and generally fill it full, so we always assume that it will be too hot too handle and have a potholder handy.

High heat is no problem. My previous kettle was used only on hi heat for 45 years, and there is no warning about hi heat on the new one I purchased. Is the one you currently have a Revere? It's a teakettle, for gosh sakes! You're supposed to use it on high heat ;) BTW, I currently have a glass top range, but have also had this kettle on gas and electric ranges. OK all surfaces that I know of.

The tagine is suitable to either gas or electric heat. Personally I have a gas stove and I use my tagine often. Electric burners are, if anything, safer for the earthenware subject that the tagine is made of. So you can use either safely.
