Honestly, I returned it. I was very disappointed with the quality, very light weight and it showed rust pitts inside on the bottom after one use.

I have used this pot on high heat once. I was cooking some 15 bean soup. It will take the heat but as the beans begin to cook down you will need to either turn the heat down or stir the beans very often to prevent them from sticking.

I haven't used it on really high heat yet. Done a crawlfish boil in it and it was great. Make soups and sauce and it is wonderful. Would buy one again

Let me restate my previous comment. No, according to the manufacturer you should not use this pot with a gas flame. However, if you were to maintain a flame smaller then the base of the pot you might be OK. If you do use a flame, be careful with the handle, it could get too hot for a bare hand.

I only use it to boil water on top of a burner--I make the tea in a tea pot. I don't think this pot would withstand being on a low setting for multiple hours

Hi Pauline, IMO pots of this type (aluminum) are not ideal for high heat frying (although my daughters have done it in similar pots). They are designed for soups and stews, noodles, etc. I would strongly suggest obtaining a dedicated saute pan for meat. Cast iron is very popular for this, but other heavier weight saute pans will fit your needs too (love the Amazon reviews). Hope this helps!

I don't see why not. Because of the material of the pot the Manuel says to heat over medium heat so I'm sure if you did that it would be fine.

Hi, Kent. No, you should not heat this pot. The inside is lined with enamel, and that high heat would crack the enamel coating. The most heat this teapot could withstand is a candle beneath to keep your tea warm.

Don't see why not. . .it could get very hot which would mean having to re-oil the pot afterwards. . I keep ours warm on the top of a wood stove when serving chili or keeping large amounts of soup ready to serve. . .

This pot is for use on ANY stove or burner. It is a very high quality pot, but will experience some discoloration (nothing to worry about).

I am careful with this pot. I use if for spaghetti boiling or for vegetables. For stews or higher heat foods use heavier pot.

I have not used high heat but almost always, medium high with absolutely no problem. I LOVE this griddle!

Sure, I don't see why not? I have put other pots of the same material in the oven. But not higher then 400 degrees!. I hope I have helped you.

I don't believe so. The pot is aluminum which doesn't work with induction heating. Induction cook tops need a ferrous metal like stainless steel.

You could but, if it were me I would not. The heat from an open fire could possibly cause the granite porcelain to shatter off of the pot. Best to go with cast iron or copper.

I would think so, but I doubt your need high heat with all-clad. I have all all-clad and don't ever use high heat

Because this is a clay pot, they cannot withstand immediate high heat. They will crack. The cooking temperature has to rise slowly. As an example, I would cook my beans by putting the pot in a cold oven with the food in it and let the pot get warmed as the oven warms to the temperature it's going to cook at. As for cooktops, I would think you could but you would need to use a good sturdy heat diffuser and start your heat low until the pot is warmed and then increase your heat to cook your food.

Nope, not even at high temperatures. I love this pan so much I bought another!

Possibly, however fire may damage the handles if left on the pot. On another point we found these pots warp quite quickly which really sucks considering the price of them. Very portable yes, mediocre quality!
