Could this be used directly on a stove top to boil water as well?

I have not tried it but the quality of steel is really good and strong. Worst case scenario could be two things - it may get blackened or crack.

I personally would not use it as such. I always heat water in a regular pan and then transfer it to the french press. I do not want to take any chances of ruining my press. Not at all worth it in my opinion.

You probably could, however, fairly certain the outside would become darkened and marred. Sure in a pinch you could throw it into a camp fire. We always use a tea pot and transfer the water to it. Good luck i too enjoy trying it a different way. Ya know i think the press would become too hot to hold if you heated it up. Sorry i do not have a definite answer.

? That's a novel idea! I think it can work on any kind of flame, but that's kind of missing the point! It boils up FAST with just a few leaves and the smallest twigs. Still, if it would sit on top of your stove, it would probably be more efficient than an ordinary kettle. But I think the idea of this is that you don't NEED a stove, there's always some little brush that you can burn. I've used mine a few times to make a pot of tea or some ramen out in the woods, it's very fast and easy.

You can pour in water right off the boil. Just don't put it on a stove burner. :)

Absolutely, this little burner does a great job. It does cook anything that you could cook on a regular stove top. It does boil water and does eggs just fine. I have cooked hamburgers on it and boiled potatoes. It does a great job for the money and I would recommend it for sure.

I suppose you could use it just for water. You could use a pot to heat water also. Seems like a silly question.

This is a serving tea pot. It is not intended for use on a stove top. Fill it with boiling water from your tea kettle.

Yes it will boil water. You may use it as skillet but the surface of it is not flat.

I would expect that, yes, you can pour hot, even boiling, water directly into the container. Mind you, I haven't tried this, but the plastic it's made of is, I believe, heat resistant.

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.

No it is not meant for stove tops of any kind, just put boiling water in it.

I don't think so. Its glass. Would you use glass on ceramic cook top? I only use to fill with boiling water.

Yes, we use it several times a day on a gas stove. It heats water so fast. I highly recommend it.

I believe that it would be too hot. It just about boils the water. Does not have heat range.

Hi Randy, I am really sorry, but I don't know the answer to your question. I use it solely on an old electric stove to boil water. Check with the manufacturer. Vermont Country Store also carries this pot.

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