Can boiling water be poured directly into the teapot without breaking?

I have had no issues with the tea pot. Pour boiling water from the kettle into the pot and put on the lid. Great teapot!

Definitely! I like my tea HOT and have been using this teapot with boiling water for a year without an issue

Yes. I always pour it right after it boils with the tea and it hasn't broken on me.

I have had mine for almost two months and I have poured boiling water into it almost daily and it has not cracked.

Most definitely! Here's what I do. I fill my stoneware teapot with water and then stick it in the microwave for "5 min on high" and then continuously on "hold." During this time water is heating to boiling in another pot [electric or on the stove]. When the 'tea water' reaches boiling, I empty the stoneware teapot, add three tea bags, pour in the boiling water and then steep for 4 minutes.

I have never directly used my teapot on the stove ,I do pour boiling water over the tea and have no problems at all.

NOT. you dont want to risk cracking the ceramic. heat the water on the stove and pour it over the tea basket

No, just fill it will hot water from a kettle and add tea to steep. Pretty teapot to serve from.

I'm not sure, I've never really tried that. I just boil my water in a tea pot. I will tell you that I have purchased this for three people, as well as myself. That's how much I like it.

Are you asking material-wise is it safe? If so I don't know, but otherwise, I pour boiled water straight from the kettle and it's okay.

I think if you poured boiling water in it, it would likely crack - I'd recommend a ceramic jug for that.

Sure, as long as the glass is room temperature or already hot. Just don't pour it into a cold glass pitcher or any glass for that matter. Lets say you have ice tea in the pitcher and wanted hot tea, make sure you dump the ice tea and rinse the glass pitcher with room temperature water or luke warm water, then you can pour in boiling water.

There is a button--more of a tab actually--that is attached to the bottom rim of the teapot. Once you place the teapot on its electric cradle you depress the tab/button. When the water reaches a boil the tab pops up to let you know. The tab attaches to a lever inside the pot, which can only be activated when liquid is placed in the pot, so there is no danger of accidentally turning it on without water inside. Too bad the base/pot interface is so poorly made. The concept is great--while it works--but the lifespan of the pot leaves a lot to be desired.

No you can not. You must boil the water and add it to the pot. It is a very stunning piece but any glass tea pot is some what fragil. I do love it however.

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.

Yes! I purchased it to make homemade tea, and I put the boiling water directly into it. No problem so far. It also has a nice slim design, for a 64oz pitcher.

Lid would only be in contact with boiling water if you over filled it, and you can pour without opening the lid.

This kettle has a copper bottom/insert, and I suspect you could melt it IF you let the kettle boil dry. I actually did that to an aluminum tea kettle once. But IMO it would never happen under normal use -- the boiling water keeps it cool enough to ever allow that to happen.

I have not tried it but it is not recommended by the manufacturer. I just boil water in a tea kettle and pour it over! Very easy and I'm very pleased with my purchase.

No. This is not recommended. I did it once and the teapot survived, but I won't try again. It does keep hot water warm for a long time.

Yes, I believe they can.....the glass is very thick and I have made tea with boiling water straight from the kettle in them.
