Can you pour near boiling water from stovetop unit directly into this glass pot without prewarming it?

To date, I haven't had any problems. So far, so good with the borosilicate glass.

I have boiled water in an electric kettle and let it stand for around 30 seconds before pouring it in. There were no issues.

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

Havn't tried, but I don't think so. You pour boiling water into it, as in tea!

Other than the inside of the lid, no. As far as I can tell, only glass and metal (from the coil that runs up the side) touches the water when boiling.

I would think you could... It will take a lot for a pot this size to boil water.

I would not,,the glass is very thin. I would use a tea kettle and pour the hot water from it. Or some times I use my kurig for hot water.

Yes but I would not pour boiling water in it. The pot is made of thin glass

I have poured boiling water into the dish, but warm it with hot water first. I am a "safe rather than sorry" type and don't want to make the mistake of having it crack or break because of a sudden and extreme change in temperature.

No. Just a little near the spout, but you'd have to fill it far past the fill line for water to boil against the plastic.

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 think so. Its glass. Would you use glass on ceramic cook top? I only use to fill with boiling water.

It is very heavy glass, but I would hesitate adding boiling water. I use mine to store flour and sugar.

I don't think so... I always boil the water in a kettle first and then pour it in. The glass feels fairly thin and delicate.

No. You could microwave the water then pour it in, I just use a tea kettle on the stove. Doesn't even have to be boiling.

You can. There are precautions you can take to "condition" or oxidize your pot beforehand in order to prevent scorching and potential off-flavors, but it is not even required. The process is VERY easy and no reason why you shouldn't use the aluminum pot and no reason not to condition the pot beforehand.

That's how I use mine. Let the water sit about a half minute off the boil. Better for the coffee or tea that way.

No, and it takes forever to boil the water. You can boil it faster on the stove.
