can this be used directly on gas cooktop/stove (borosilicate)? There are contradicting responses to this question.

REALITY CHECK... Borosilicate glass is laboratory grade, with a lower expansion coefficient than soda-lime glass (U.S. "Pyrex"). Borosilicate glass functions fine over a bunsen burner which can reach 2,200 deg. F. Hence, a filled borosilicate glass vessel will function just fine on an average stove top. Soda-Lime glass is typical for consumer grade "Pyrex" brand glass in the U.S., and the expansion coefficient is excessive for use on a traditional stovetop by a layperson. That means, a layperson using a stovetop will not understand how to minimize thermal gradient to prevent cracking. For those of you who do not accept and understand the physical reality of science, you can ameliorate your doubt by: (1) never using a "tea light" warmer which places your teapot directly above a concentrated open flame; and (2) placing a heat spreader between your teapot and heat source (e.g., a thick and flat sheet of aluminum). ...

The official answer is no, because thats what the manufacturer say in the included card. If you know how to control the temperature well though to avoid any sudden changes in temperature in the glass, you can probably get away with it. I would use the tealite warmers over putting it on the stove though. This works very well with the temperature controlled water boilers to brew the perfect tea when dealing with the more delecate ones (green and white teas especially). The difference in taste is night and day when using the proper temperature water and correct brew time for the specific tea.

I would not try it. I have never even considered putting the glass carafe from my coffeemaker directly onto a burner. BTW, how the heck would you get the hot water out of the teapot then back into it and through the tea leaves in the strainer without using some other vessel? I use a metal tea KETTLE to heat the water then pour it into the tea pot. I do set the pot on the metal ring that holds a tea-light candle- that and the cozy I made for this pot keep the tea warm for hours...p.s. it is the ring that came with the other, larger teapot I bought here on Amazon.

The honest answer is "I don't know". I tend to use the instant hot water unit at my sink to fill the teapot, sometimes I will boil water on the stove in metal teapot, and then poor into the Hario glass teapot. I have not placed the Hario directly on the stove.

It is not to be used on the stove. It is just to brew the tea by pouring hot water in it

You can not be use directly on gas cooktop or stove. but you can use in microwave.

It can be used in an oven with no issues. It could not be used on a stove directly.

Hello Eldonna, I really can't answer that question. My stove has a gas cook top. That might be a better question for Rachel Ray. Good luck!

IT can be used on any stove burner top, electric, gas or induction. You could even use a blow torch, gas grill, charcoal grill or campfire. I have never used "in" or inside a kitchen stove oven, it should work that way but it is not designed for that particular application.

I have only used it on gas. I would make sure you have a metal coil between the stove top and the kettle. I am not sure that the kettle can take the direct heat. Also, my kettle was short lived. The top cracked as I was putting it on the kettle. It is now a vase.

I don't know the answer to this. I have a gas stove top but I remember using my old pans in the past on ceramic. Not sure if it is the same.

I don't see why not. Just be sure to keep it away from the flame on a gas stove top.

Dear Nancy, U can use any kind of pan, glass alumin, cast iron, etc. Use medium heat setting when N doubt. But let me tell , this is 1 of thee best investments I have ever made! N fact, I am going 2 buy another 1 for backup. Its great around the holiday. My preference has always been gas until my gas stove went out & I had 2 resort 2 this waring commercial stove top & now I don't even bother w/the gas stove anymore except for baking. Hope this helps U. Enjoy!

I use it in my gas oven. Just don't set it directly on an exposed flame - unlikely to happen inside any oven.

Good question. Unfortunately, I have a gas stove. I'm unfamiliar with requirements of glass top stoves.

I'm sure you can use it on a gas stove but I would not put it in an oven because of the rubber handle.I have had mine for 2 months and love it.

Yes you definitely can use it on either an electric or a gas stove top. Hope this helps.

I use it on my glass cooktop stove with no problem, but if you have concerns about induction, you might want to go to www.lodge.com and find a phone number to call and ask Lodge about induction cooktops.

I think I read somewhere that you can use it on a ceramic cooktop with some reservations I would contact the company.

You can use the product on a gas stove. I do not know if they make gas stove top ranges, if they do I would think you would not be able to use it then. If it does not work good on an electric glass stovetop then it probably would not work on a gas glass stovetop either.

Yes, you can. I do have gas stove in my house either. It works just fine on electric cooktop.

Yes...I have a gas stove ..I have had my pot for quite some time and I am pleased with it...I am careful with the use of direct hot and cold on clay pot....
