Can I use this Kettle to boil water on an electric or gas stove?

I guess you could but I would be careful if it is electric. If you fill it too high it will boil and some water can come down on the stove. With my woodstove it evaporates....it may cause problems w/an electric stove. I personally wouldn't.

It is designed to use with a wood stove and to add some humidity to the room. There was a statement (warning?) on the box about not drinking the water used in this kettle.

I bought this kettle to use on top of my wood stove to put some moisture into the air. It works quite well for that, and I believe that is probably what it was designed for. I wouldn't suggest using it as a tea kettle as it does rust inside when water is left in it, and it doesn't whistle. For the price, and for what I am using it for though, it works great!

Works perfectly fine for me on an electric induction stove top. As another poster suggested, don't heat much higher than 6 out of 10 or you risk burning through the copper bottom if you aren't typically attentive to your boiling water. I made that mistake with this same kettle before. Lesson learned.

This should not be used on an electric stove. For an electric stove, you need a flat bottom wok. It can damage the burner and the wok may not heat up as fast. If you search for "Flat bottom wok" on Amazon there are be plenty of alternatives, including this 14" carbon steel flat bottom wok also sold by the Wok Shop (http://www.amazon.com/Carbon-Steel-Wok-Handles-bottom/dp/B00394VE5Y/).

I never tried but I did use it on a gas stove. I would assume an electric would work fine. You could just lay in directly on the burner. We love ours.

I assume you can use it on both gas and electric--my stove is electric. However do you really want to own this? The glass seems really thin and the plastic insert has a strong odor that I couldn't get out and made the coffee taste funny. I stopped using mine after 4 pots of it.

This is meant for brewing tea, so I don't know if can be heated on the stove. I would recommend getting a pot meant for the stove instead of this one just to be safe.

I am sure you can .. although I use it on gas. I really like this little kettle!

I don't see why not. It's just a piece of cast iron. That said, I have only used it on gas stoves.

I use this pot on a gas stovetop, but it is Pyrex so it should be fine on an electric burner.

Yes. It is a tea KETTLE not a tea pot. It is designed to be filled with water then heated on a stove until the water boils. It should work on gas, electric, wood, coal, or peat - it probably would not worked suspended over an open fire in a fireplace or a campfire - but it might.

There is a version for gas and electric stoves. The gas version which is pictured has the heat exchanger as an integral part of the product, so it is only appropriate for a gas stove top and would not work on an electric stovetop. I find the gas stove version of the kettle heats quickly on medium heat saving energy.

Bought this for my son he has gas stove but I thought it could be used on either. You may want to get some type o diffuser to put on the electric element. May help. Sorry best info I have.

I use mine on an electric range and it works great. This a great tea kettle!

Yes. The bottom of the kettle is covered with a smooth metal. This is about as little metal I have been able to find in an electric kettle. The alternative is an all glass pot requiting a stove. It is a no frills unit that works great and is not hot to the touch on the outside (double wall...).

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!

I actually have a gas burner and find this kettle to be just fine. I am told this kettle will also work on an induction or electric range; however, you may want to note that there is a slight ridge around the outside of the bottom so that the entire bottom does not lie flat on the surface. It may cause heating to be slightly longer, using a fraction more energy. I found this kettle to be great because of clear whistle, beautiful shine, easy grab handle (though I use an oven mitt), easy cleanout because of wide opening. Mechanism works well; I have no complaints...nice kettle!

I would not. This is the type of kettle that you want to pour hot water into; not the type of kettle you want to heat water with.
