As long as you don’t use it on a gas stove, you should be fine.

Or you mean it'll catch fire? Also not a concern. That is supposed to happen at a temperature well above anything useful for cooking.
Should be safe on electrical stoves though.
There are some heady boundary-layer effects and temperature/temp-conductivity gradient physics involved here. For simplicity sake, consider a plastic [1] bag full to the brim with water, held over open flame. Will bag melt (oxidize, erode)?
