Can this item handle heat sitting on top of a heating stove?

To the best of my knowledge it is all metal. I would probably not subject it to excessive heat on a regular basis since it is intended for decorative use. If left there once by accident, it should be ok though it could feasibly warp from the heat.

Sorry, I am not sure about that... I use it on a gas stove.. I guess u can ask the seller about it....

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.

I apologize my previous answer was not correct. I didn't have the item with me, but when I got home I realized that the top is made of plastic, so you cannot use this to heat up liquids over a fire.

I would think that any heat source would Work with this item. I don't use electric so I can't say for sure. If you have used cast iron on your cook top before then I wouldn't see a problem.

It will sit on the top but I don't think it will get very hot as there will be space between the top of stove and the bottom of the oven. Hope this helps.

I would imagine so, but I don't have a glass cook top. My stove is circa 1950's original with electric coil burners. I've had the counter glass over it while it was cooling and it hadn't been damaged--I also waited until the stove burner was just 'warm' before using it as counter space. You may want to contact the seller or manufacturer to see how high of a temperature the tempered glass can handle.

Yes. It should work fine. We use it over gas flames but a hot plate on top of a stove should be fine.

I wouldn't. It is thin and may not handle the extreme heat well. The description says it can handle heat up to 325 but how will you know. I would use it for items that are warm if u need to.

I would go with what the manufacturer says. It could possibly scratch the glass top and not work properly with electric heat. It is designed for a gas stove to evenly distribute the heat from the flame

Yes it can. Top of burner is a sturdy, flat approx 10" wide surface. We have a large soup pot we use on it. One thing to consider: the actual area that will heat a pot is only about 4-5" across. So for a large pot (large diameter) it's VERY important to make sure that it's bottom is a great conductor of heat. Our pots are AllClad induction-ready pans and they work fabulously. We also have an off-brand stainless steel wok with a wide base we use and it works well to. So it doesn't have to be an expensive pot. Try the magnet test. If a magnet sticks REALLY well to the bottom, then it should work just fine. Yes it can. Top of burner is a sturdy, flat approx 10" wide surface. We have a large soup pot we use on it.

Sure! Check the specs. I think it's good up to 500 degrees, so it should be fine on one side of the stovetop, not in the hottest center.

I wouldn't imagine it would be a good fit for a glass cooktop. It is heavy iron- might scratch your stove. I'm thinking it wouldn't conduct the heat as well as it does on a gas range, either.

Yes,I have a glass top stove and it sits perfectly fine on it.It also cooks food really nice when using one.

No, I would not use it on a stove top. The bottom has metal crosspieces and I don't think it would heat evenly on a stovetop, but that's just my opinion.

I think it would work fine just as long as you don't turn on the burners beneath. Would work best on a glass top stove. Hope this helps.

It could handle heating, but not a great way transport. It may leak a little around vent with straight liquid.
