Did they suggest putting a mug full of water on the stovetop?? That’s so dangerous. Mugs are not meant for that kind of direct heat, and picking it up will be tricky too.

    Yeah dont think ceramic mug would survive.

    There are steel camping mugs that can go right on stove, I use one with big wire handle that you can pick it up with bare hand with boiling water

    I mean if it's proper ceramic it's going to be very heat resistant because it's literally clay that's been fired in a kiln hot enough to melt glass. On the other hand the heat from the stove is going to be super uneven, regardless of resistive electric or gas (and of course induction will do jack all because there's no metal for it to induce)

    If I had mugs to waste I'd do an experiment for science but...I don't want to be picking up broken ceramic in my kitchen this evening...
