I understand it can't be used on a stovetop, what about with a tealight warmer?

Although I haven't tried it with a tealight, I imagine as long as there is liquid in the teapot that the heat would not be too intense for the pot.

I don't use it on my stove. The glass is thin and I think with repeated uses the glass bottom would crack. I've had this happen with a glass coffee pot that was supposed to be used on a stove. I bought a metal base that uses a votive candle to keep the pot warm.

No, it is not designed for stovetop use. It is for putting your tea bags in and then adding hot water.

No, I would not use it on a stove top. The bottom has metal crosspieces and I don't think it would heat evenly on a stovetop, but that's just my opinion.

Absolutely not! There are glass teapots for stove use but this is not one of them.

I don't think you can heat this pot. The way to use it, will be to pour in hot water and tea leaves and allow to stand to steep in the tea leaves.

The short answer is that it cannot be used on a ceramic/induction stovetop. Pans used on induction cooktops must be made of material that attracts magnets. This is because induction works through electromagnetism, so the pan must attract magnetic charges. I checked this teakettle with a magnet and it does not attracdt magnetic charges. You might also want to call the manufacturer about this....

Yes. I use a different kind of teapot warmer (it's glass) but, I looked the one you listed up and it seems like they all function the same. You should be good. Enjoy :)

I would say you probably could put this on the stove top, but it is not a good idea as the handle would get hot.

The reason you are not supposed to heat it over the stove is because you should not be steeping your tea in boiling water. The pot it for steeping, not cooking, and if you want to make several batches of tea with good leaves (like you should be able to), you don't want to pour water in, boil it and then reheat the leave over and over and over again when they should stay warm. This is not good for the tea.

I gave it as a gift but it is made to put hot tea in and no porcelain should not be "put" on a burner. It's not for cooking.. You might be thinking of the old porcelain coated pots like my grandfather put on his stove top.

No. It may be listed as a stovetop Teapot but the instructions say not to use on gas or electric burners. Heat water and pour over tea to infuse it only. I have had 2 of these and both cracked at the handle just sitting on the counter. They are way too fragile unless the company is offering a new modle.

I don't see why not, just make sure you use a tealight and trim the wick... i didn't have tealights when i first got it and tried to use a small candle and it just made the pot all sooty and went out.

I would not put this teapot on an open gas flame. I have an electric stove and wouldn't put it on that type of burner either. I had a similar kind of teapot and used it on an electric burner and the bottom of the pot broke off from the heat. Of course, you can use it in a microwave. It holds six cups. Also, be aware, the pot I received was completely clear glass with no design. I thought, by looking at the pictures on-line, it would have a flowered imprint. I do like the clear looking glass though, even though it wasn't what I expected.

Despite what Amazon's description says, the manufacturer does not recommend using any of their glass teapots on the stove-top. It's even listed in the Grosche website FAQ as not safe so I don't understand why there is so much false advertising about this product.

i believe the instruction booklet says that you can use it on stove top. I have not done this myself.

I am not sure about that. I have only used my on the stove top and placed it in the oven to stay warm. Sorry.
