Putting a Glass Coffee Pot on the Stove
Some people prefer the taste of coffee made in a glass coffee pot. However, many question whether or not a glass pot can safely be put on an electric or gas stove. The answer is yes, most of the time, you can.
Things to Consider
Before placing a glass coffee pot on the stove, there are a few factors to think about.
Temperature: Glass coffee pots can generally stand up to temperatures on both electric and gas stoves, though it’s a good idea to check to make sure the pot can handle the highest temperature setting of your stove.
Stability: Make sure your coffee pot has a flat, stable surface that won’t tilt or wobble, as this may cause the pot to topple off the burner. Always boil your coffee on a low to medium heat setting.
Size:Taking burner size into consideration is key. A smaller pot may not evenly heat on a large burner, and a larger pot might be unstable.
