Can this be used on the stove, to - for example - boil tea or warm up soup?

I wouldn't do it! Do you mean to use it like a pot/pan? I wouldn't want to take that chance in case it would slip and you could get scalded. But as a measuring cup for dry/liquid measurements, I love it and use it very day.

No. This item is NOT safe for stove top use, nor can it be used in the broiler. However, it is microwave and dishwasher safe, and it is safe to use in the oven.

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

ABSOLUTELY !!! I use it stove top at high temps to sear meat before using as a crockpot. I bring soups and stews to a boil on the stovetop before using crockpot to simmer. It's an amazing buy and worth every penny.

I don't think so... the cooking method is based on the weight of the water. Once the water is absorbed or evaporated, the cooker shuts itself off. On the other hand, maybe you don't want it to shut off. Also, there is only one temperature of cooking... only on or off. Buy a big stainless cooking pot for your stove... works great for soups!

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, you cannot. This is a tea pot. What you put on the stove is called a tea kettle.

If you mean on a stovetop, then the manufacturer says no. It's designed for steeping tea only. But you can get a candle heater to keep the tea hot.

Not sure but I would imagine anything made of glass placed on a hot stove may not be the best idea. I always boil the water in a kettle first then transfer it to the teapot for serving/keeping warm.

I'm not sure what you mean by a teapot warmer but if you mean a tea cozy, yes. Or if you mean some sort of heating device with an open flame, I'm not sure I would. If it's an electric one, probably yes. The set is fairly substantial so a gentle warmer won't likely harm it. An open flame might be to extreme.

A tea 'pot' is a vessel used to SERVE tea, a tea 'kettle' is a vessel you put on the stove to heat water for making tea. If you, indeed mean to use this to serve tea, then yes you can use it for that. It does have the wire mesh press mechanism inside, which is not ideal for serving. You should not, however, put this French press on your stove as it would likely become damaged.

? 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.

Being of cast iron, I would think that you could use it on a stove, but it does not appear that it is to be used that way. It is rather small to be heated on a stove. It seems to be more decorative than just being used to heat water on a stove. I would say No, to using it on a stove, or maybe just over a low heat.

We honestly only use it as a decoration. I wouldn't attempt to heat it on a stove, I think the ceramic is too thin. However, pouring hot water into the teapot should be fine!

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.

I use it for soup, it takes about 2 to 3 hours to boil it. Its more than just a warmer!

I dont think you can use it on the stove-top . First warm the water in microwave and then transfer in to the neti pot.

I never heat water in my teapot, but you could keep it warm on your wood stove. I don't know if it would harm your teapot to heat it on the stove.
