I have not used this on a gas stove for reheating warm coffee, but I have used this in our french press for making coffee for many years. The glass is very stable regarding poring boiling water in it (212 degrees F) but that is a lot different than an open flame, which is much hotter. Though it may work on a gas stove (when I worked in a lab as a kid, we regularly heated chemicals in glass beakers that were similar to this) it is probably not a good idea. Safer to reheat the coffee in the micro wave.

Absolute not. It will shatter over direct heat of any type, gas or electric.

I have only used this over a high heat outdoor cooking fire, there should not be any issues on a gas stove.As others mention, proper care is the key to cast iron cookware.

My sister has one of these and she used it at my Mom's, on an electric stove. I have a different model, and wea also used mine. Both worked just fine. Of course, I prefer using my gas stove, but...

Yes, I use it on my gas stove. I don't even bother putting it away since we use it everyday for one food or another. Love it!

Not sure if a hot plate would be hot enough, but do NOT try to heat it over an open flame. Our house sitter was confused and tried to heat the water in the press on our gas stovetop resulting in a less than flat bottom. This was 5 years ago and it works great still, but the wobbly bottom is not happenin'. Also the thermal feature probably keeps the liquid from heating similarly to keeping the heat in the pot. Coffee stays at a nice temp for an hour or two, and the microwave helps it along if you like it piping hot. Heat does escape from the top, but it is a huge improvement over the glass beaker style. After 8 years, it still makes the best coffee hands down. Not sure if a hot plate would be hot enough, but do NOT try to heat it over an open flame.

I have a gas stove and they are starting to wear after a year. I was happy at first, but not thrilled with how long they lasted. I was told that the gas stove puts more direct heat on them and causes them to wear more. I would assume you would have the same results searing at high temps.

I use it to make coffee on my gas BBQ grill when the power goes out during hurricane season. My husband uses one for coffee when he's camping and puts it on a Coleman propane burner (open flame). So I don't know why you couldn't put it on either a gas or electric kitchen stove. It just needs a heat source. Note that the entire coffee pot, including the handle, heats up so when you touch the handle to remove it, you need to use oven mits or you'll burn yourself.

IF let's off a fair amount of smoke. I was not very happy, and would net rocommend. For me, the problem I had was it got too hot, even on the lowest of settings for my gas burner. Also, it's impossible to clean, without scraping of the coating. the last time I used it was to sear tuna. I let it sit for a day and scrubbed very hard to remove the residue. I used a sponge,then a soappad, becasue the sponge did nothing for the black residue ledt behind. I scrubbed so hard some of the costing rubbed off, and there is still residue left? Hope you have better luck and this was helpful

No problems with using this pot on a gas stove. That is exactly how I do it. It's usually a low flame. Yes, we did season it before the first use. I can't remember how. We googled instructions and it worked perfectly. We really love our Tagine Pot - it's also a topic of conversation when we use it with guests.

I have a gas stove and there is not a problem! The pot covers the burner and the handle is not in direct line of heat source. Also you will be cranking the handle while its over the flame. Mine works great nothing has fallen apart!!

They asked if you can use it IN a gas stove. Yes you can there is no plastic on it so nothing to melt. It is a very heavy pot when full so make sure your oven racks are up to the task.

Yes , I have a gas stove and it works great. Very happy with the dutch oven but I do not know what heat it can withstand..I use it for soups mostly.

Hello, Kristen. Although odd that you did not receive instructions and a box, you can still be okay. Fill the pot to the desired level with cold water. Place the basket and stand inside. Put fresh coffee grounds in the basket. You can heat on a stove or over a camp fire. The water will percolate into the glass atop the pot - it's acutally pretty cool. WHen it stops, the coffee is done. BUT, the handle is probably hot, too - use a mitt. Enjoy!

absolutely fine to use over gas burner, we do it all the time, and in the oven. However, be careful with the lids, because they do not appear to be the same quality glass as the pots. One of ours shattered when subjected to rapid cooling

I assume you can use it on both gas and electric--my stove is electric. However do you really want to own this? The glass seems really thin and the plastic insert has a strong odor that I couldn't get out and made the coffee taste funny. I stopped using mine after 4 pots of it.

Temperature is as hot as my stovetop will go. After the water heats and steams upwards and drips back through the grounds then its done. I do not let it sit on the stove after that for further heating of the pot. Some coffee beans work better than others and some grinds work best. It took some playing around to find my favorites.

I have a gas stove and have used no hotter than medium heat. It definitely dispersed heat evenly. My food was evenly cooked.
