Using a Glass Coffee Pot on the Stove
Glass coffee pots can be used to make coffee, either on a stove top or with an electric burner. While the glass coffee pot is an elegant and efficient way to make coffee, it does require special handling when used on the stove. Here are some tips for using a glass coffee pot on the stove:
Safety
- Always use caution when using a glass coffee pot on the stove. Never leave the pot on the heat source when unattended and always use an oven mitt when handling a hot pot.
- Do not overheat the pot. Glass can crack and shatter if it becomes too hot.
- Do not subject the pot to sudden changes in temperature, such as by pouring cold water into a hot pot. This can also cause the glass to crack.
Care and Cleaning
- Always allow the pot to cool before handling or cleaning. Hot glass can cause burns and can also cause glass to break.
- Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners on delicate glass surfaces. Use soft cloths or sponges with gentle soap when cleaning.
- Be sure to completely dry the glass coffee pot before storing it. Moisture can cause the glass to become etched or cracked over time.
With proper care and handling, a glass coffee pot can be a long-lasting and beautiful way to enjoy your favorite hot beverage!
