Is it safe for electric stoves or does it come with a wire for putting it on the electric coils?

The info on Amazon said it was stove top safe but surprisingly there is not one line of info included! I don't think it should be put on the stove-- I think it would fracture. I am thinking about buying the candle warmer that they sell because the tea just does not stay hot very long. It is real cute but really not very functional. Good luck!

No I would not put it on a stove. It seems quite fragile. I think it should be only used as intended. There is a metal base in which you put a candle to warm it up, or keep it warm, but putting it on electric stove would probably not a good idea.

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 have a flat top electric stove and the tea pot works well without a wire. I don't know if you need a wire for coil style electric stove.

From the maker's website: http://www.grosche.ca/faq.php "Can I use my Grosche Tea Pot on a stovetop?While our special borosilicate glass is indeed heatproof, we do not recommend using our products on a stovetop due to the fragile nature of our product to avoid the possibility of breakage by accidental damage"

Im nor sure.It doesn't come with a wire. I have a gas range. If you check their website maybe they sell them seperatly.

I do not believe that the pot is for heating. It is only for brewing AFTER the water is heated in a kettle or heating device.

I have a flat top electric stove. The Duxtop works great. I use a much lower temp. Medium as opposed to high. I haven 't used it on a coil electric.

This should not be used on an electric stove. For an electric stove, you need a flat bottom wok. It can damage the burner and the wok may not heat up as fast. If you search for "Flat bottom wok" on Amazon there are be plenty of alternatives, including this 14" carbon steel flat bottom wok also sold by the Wok Shop (http://www.amazon.com/Carbon-Steel-Wok-Handles-bottom/dp/B00394VE5Y/).

It's a glass container so if you put it on an electric element it will break -- should be OK on a gas stove. For electric, put a triangle of wire (like coat-hanger wire) on the burner first, then the container on top of that. At least that's how I used to do it; don't bother now, just drink my coffee faster!

Works great. I use my cookware with an electric stove and no issues at all.

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 does work on an electric stove, you just have to adjust the temp a bit so it doesn't get too hot.

I would say yes. I have an electric stove with the coils. The bottom of pans are smooth so I don't think there would be a problem.

The tagine is suitable to either gas or electric heat. Personally I have a gas stove and I use my tagine often. Electric burners are, if anything, safer for the earthenware subject that the tagine is made of. So you can use either safely.

I use mine on a flat top electric stove. It took some getting used to but works well for me.

Yes, you can use it on an electric (coil) cooktop-I do, and it works fine on the large coil. It doesn't work on my induction cooktop because there is not enough contact with the surface.

For an electric stove, I'd use the burner grid that is sold for Chemex, which would keep it from direct contact with the burner.Chemex Stainless Steel Wire Grid for Use on Electric Stove, 6.5 InchI would definitely -not- use this for boiling water (as was originally asked in this question); it's not a teakettle. But it does just fine on a low heat for many hours, and is "heat-proof" so clearly made to withstand such use.

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.

We have a glass top stove with electric burners underneath. We have not used on this type of glass top electric burner because after some of my own research I read that it can ruin it. I am not sure if it will work on an electric burner with a spiral plug in element.

My stove is electric. It is a good quality pot, but on a gas stove I would keep the burner on medium. I hope this helps :)

I have a regular electric stove, it works fine on it. I spend more money and bought a Nordic Ware, it works great and since it islarger I can do the job in half the time.

Works great. We've used it on our glass top electric stove with no problems.
