I know this will seem like a bit of a silly question, but I want to make sure before I buy this teapot. Can you warm in on the stove?

A tea "POT" is never put on the heat. The water is BOILED in a KETTLE then transferred to the pot to steap.Tea kettle --> a tool to boil waterTea pot ----> table wear to steap and serve tea.True a tea pot may be placed NEAR a stove or fireplace to slow the cooling process but it is NOT intended to boil water in.

I actually gave this as a gift, so idk for sure. However, I would assume that you shouldn't. Its more decorative...so id heat the water on the stove in a pot, then pour and brew tea in the tardis. I would also think you could heat it in the microwave.

From ThinkGeek Directly."Lid helps keep the heat in so you don't have to reheat between cupsMaterial: Glazed lightweight ceramicHolds more than 25 ounces of your favorite teaLove your teapot: Hand wash only, pleaseNote: The TARDIS Teapot is not meant to be used on a stovetop. It's great for office use, where you can fill it from the hot water dispenser and bring it back to your desk for brewing & drinking!Dimensions: 7" x 7", including handle and spout"

No- not meant for stove top heating per instructions I read on another site.

um I have a gas stove so I have never attempted it ... honestly I put it in the microwave to warm

We honestly only use it as a decoration. I wouldn't attempt to heat it on a stove, I think the ceramic is too thin. However, pouring hot water into the teapot should be fine!

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.

We've used it as a heating pad with hot water, but I wouldn't add boiling hot water from a tea kettle. If you do use the kettle to warm the water I'd make sure it's not boiling, but rather is 158 degrees (F) or slightly less since that's what the manufacture recommends. Best of luck!!

No, to boil water on the stove you want a tea kettle. A teapot like this is for brewing tea in.

No- I boil the water in a tea kettle- then I pour a little water into the tea pot to warm it. Throw the water away- then add your tea and boiling water to the tea pot. Let it brew for a few minutes then pour your perfect cup of tea! I am a Brit so am experienced tea maker.Good luck!

I haven't done this myself, I still boil water in a kettle first, but stoneware is fired at such high heat that it should be possible to heat the water right in the teapot, in the microwave. The only problem you may have, is the teapot could get very hot, including the handle.

The manual says not to put it directly on a burner... Then again it is cast-iron and indirect heat should be fine, the company even sells an iron stand for use with tea-lights, so I would think it depends on how hot you have the stove going

Dear Tea Lover, surely you can use it in Microwave. All our tea-wares are made of heat resistant glass, which means the glass alone can handle temperature shock. You can take the teapot out of refrigerator (cooler part) and pour boiling water in. It wont break the teapot...;) Let me know if any other questions you have

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'm assuming you mean "heat up water using my dutch iron teapot," and the answer is no. The teapot is meant to have water heated up separately and then poured into the pot. If you heat up the pot directly it wil likely cause irreperable damage.

I have an electric range, and have never had a problem with my teapot. I never use the high setting though. I find it boils well at just a little past medium. It might take a little longer, but I don't mind.

I researched that, too. There is no cast iron teapot for use on the stove that I can find, but people on the internet seem to be doing fine using theirs on the stovetop. The manufacturer says it could crack the enamel, so I haven't.

This pot is not intended for stove top use. You are supposed to boil the water in sonething else then pour it into this pot to make your tea.

Absolutely not! There are glass teapots for stove use but this is not one of them.

Yes you can use any teabag or loose leaf tea that you like in the pot. I have not used the glass pot on the stove. I just pour the boiling water over the tea into the pot and steep as usual.

Hi, Judith, I've put the pot in the microwave without a problem mainly to reheat prepared tea on defrost (works great---no loss of flavor) or to heat the water in order to heat the teapot. However, I would never use the microwave to heat the water for tea because it is impossible to gauge if the water is the correct temperature. My guess is that it would be difficult to find any pottery made nowadays which was not microwaveable, don't you think?
