Can I put this in an electric tea kettle?

I'm not 100% sure it wouldn't work, but I would put the water in your cup first to use it.

Yes it can but you could also use baking soda and vinegar with some hot water to clean out your electric water kettle.

NO it is not safe for an electric stove top. Just pour the boiling water into the tea pot. DO NOT put it on a burner, it will most definitely melt the plastic

I'd strongly recommend you not put anything but clean, fresh, cold water into this appliance. It's a kettle, intended for heating or boiling water; not a tea pot, in which you brew tea.

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.

NO, NO, NO! A teapot is NOT a kettle. Boil the water in a kettle (if you drink a lot of tea, an electric kettle is a must and you'll find you'll wonder how you ever lived without one.) This teapot is not designed for anything other than holding already boiled water. Tea, once made should never be boiled. To keep it hot, look out for a tea cosy and put the teapot on a cork mat to help to further retain the heat. I hope this helps.

It can be used with any heat source. The neat thing about the kettle is that you won't need liquid fuel if you can find leaves, wood pine cones, paper, etc... If you are above the vegitation line then alcholhol burner may make sense

You would need a very powerful converter from 220/240 to 110 volts. Most of the cheaper converters can only handle maybe 100 watts, whereas this kettle uses 1.000 watts.

This kettle is 950 watts and 120 volts. It continues to brew perfect pots of tea for me. I hope that you can aquire one, as I am sure you will be pleased.

I don't see why not. Just push the plunger down once you put the lid on and it will function as a tea pot. It's a wonderful piece to have!

I have not tried it but it is not recommended by the manufacturer. I just boil water in a tea kettle and pour it over! Very easy and I'm very pleased with my purchase.

I would think that you could brew the tea right in the kettle. I only heat water in the kettle because our family uses it for black tea, green tea and hot chocolate. That way everyone can choose to drink whatever they like. I also haven't put anything into the kettle for fear that it would take on the taste of what is put into it. I haven't tried it so I don't know if this is true or not.

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...).

definitely not. actually, you shouldn't buy this thing at all. I bought two recently, and one never worked; the other failed after a few days.What you need to get is a power transformer, and a very high-wattage one if you're using a kettle / hair dryer / flat iron; if you don't use a transformer, you will blow a fuse. The Seven Star models work well; they may seem expensive, but $80 is a small price to pay to continue using your electricals. Make sure you look up the specs on your devices to see how many watts they use. Kettles typically use 1200 watts.

Never tried it... But if you do plan to use it that ways you may damage the outer color and the polish inside the kettle. And also remember that this is made up of cast iron and would be super hot if used with stove top. Let us know how it goes...

I didn't try but I think you couldn't. You can just pour in it boiled tea (as I use it and then pour tea into small cups for example when I meeting guests) or just put some tea leaves in it and pour boiling water.

I don't believe it is intended to be placed directly on a heating element. This is a teapot, not a tea kettle. You put the tea leaves in here, and then add hot water which has been heated in a tea kettle, or other pan.
