I'm afraid it isn't. The inside is lined with enamel, and there will be enamel in your water if you boil it in this pot. There are some wonderful cast iron kettles from Japan, but they're a bit pricey. Search for "testubin kettle" rather than "teapot" to get you started.

I've never tried it but I would assume so. Pot is cast iron with a porcelain coating on the inside. I use it more for decoration

Yes, but it is not recommended. When I first got it I did heat it directly on the burner, but I don't anymore

On my gas stove my pot gets a rolling boil when I make soup and use medium to low heat. So I think you should be able to easily boil water in it. I still love my pot and use it even when making relatively small amounts of food.

From experience I would say yes. I use my pan regularly to heat water to boiling for steaming vegetables and have never had any problem.

The recommended method is to add Hot water to pot. I would think that is the safest method.

Yes, but be careful not to let it boil dry or boil over as this can damage both the pan and the stove.

I'm pretty sure it is just for holding tea. I would not put it on the stove top.

No, unfortunately. Be very mindful when boiling water. I had to buy a new kettle because I forgot about it on the stove and holes were burned into the copper. I still love this kettle though. Just have to pay attention.

Hello! I have not tried using the kettle on the stove top. I bought the item specifically to steep the flowers made of green tea ; these do open up during the process and create a great visual for myself and my guests. Thank you!

I've never tríed using it on a stove top but wouldn't recommend it. The glass is fragile.

It is not recommended, although I'm not sure why. I have other cast iron kettles that I use on top of wood stoves, but they are larger and heavier. I've always used another pot to get the water hot, and transferred into this kettle.

You can pour in water right off the boil. Just don't put it on a stove burner. :)

I would think so. The glasstop (flat) stoves are safer for pots like this than coils, and I use it on coils. Just don't put in on the highest setting. If glass heats up too fast it shatters. Be careful about temp changes. I heat mine on med-high and remove it when the boiling starts, and set it on a wood cutting board right after, so it cools slowly. Or you could put it back on the eye depending on the tea temp needed. Just be graceful and careful with it.

NO! I have poured boiling water in it, but do not place it on a stove and heat it because it will break!

I use it to steep the tea so I pour boiling water in to it. I know there is a candle warmer for it to stay hot. I wouldn;t put it on the stove myself.

I don't think so. I think somewhere in the instructions or descriptions it says not to put it on the stovetop. The teapot is very thin, in my opinion, that is why a little warmer is able to heat it so well.
