I don't think it's quite that ineffective :P

If you define a teapot as "a covered, spouted vessel in which you can boil water", then you cannot make one out of chocolate, because you'll never get water to a boil before it melts.

I think a better analogy would be using a normal pot (or a pan) as a teapot. You lose more water to steam, and it is not designed for pouring into cups. You'll likely get burned from it splattering all over the place as you try to pour--but some people can probably do it ok.

All that said, if I could have a teapot made out of chocolate right now, I would so go for that.
