can this be used on an electric stove?

I sent this one back but got another one similar to this which I have placed on an electric stove top, but only on medium low heat.

I have not tried that, but perhaps. The outside is a matte finish and not coated. The inside is smooth and shiny.

When I bought it the literature that came with it said 'not intended for stove top use'. It was on a separate small piece of paper.

I use it indoors on gas. Have not tried on an electric burner. I imagine the element will head the metal and the metal will distribute the heat, though as is the case with electric burners all around, probably not as well.

this steamer is so rugged, you could probably put it straight in to an fire and it would work . . . but sure it could be used on an electric stove top.

Yes! I have a flat top electric stove and it works great. I put it on my largest burner at about medium to medium high.

I would imagine that they know what they're talking about. It works well on my gas stove, but I wouldn't want to try it on an electric if the manufacturer says not to.

Yes, it can be used on an electric stovetop. It's stainless steel with a plastic stem to be able to handle it.

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.

You absolutely can. We have a gas stove and it works perfectly. Gas or electric,doesn't matter.

I have a flat surface electric stove top so I don't see why not if your heating surface is large enough.

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

Yes you definitely can use it on either an electric or a gas stove top. Hope this helps.

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.

Yes - this absolutely can be used on a gas stove. In fact it is going to be better on gas than electric because equalizing the heat with two burners is easier with gas.

Yes it is safe on any stove I use on electric at med/high and even rapid boil, the original pkg from co. states for use on any burner. on gas I make sure it sits flat to get even heat and heat on med to med low.

I don't know why you couldn't use it on an electric stove or hotplate, I use it on a gas stove. You have to watch it carefully so it doesn't boil over though.

Hi Randy, I am really sorry, but I don't know the answer to your question. I use it solely on an old electric stove to boil water. Check with the manufacturer. Vermont Country Store also carries this pot.
