Specifications
Care & maintenance
Cast iron is nearly indestructible, the enamel interior is less forgiving. Treat it like porcelain.
- Hand wash only: Warm water, mild soap, soft sponge. The enamel chips if you drop it or scrub with steel wool.
- Dry completely: Moisture trapped under the lid corrodes the iron from inside. Disassemble after every use, wipe both halves dry.
- Low to medium heat: Cast iron heats slowly and holds heat long. High flames overheat the enamel and can crack the coating.
- Avoid thermal shock: Never pour cold water into a hot kettle or set a hot kettle on a cold surface, the enamel will crack.
Frequently asked
Can I brew tea directly in the kettle?
Yes. The built-in stainless steel filter sits at the spout and strains leaves as you pour. Drop loose tea in the kettle, add water, bring to temperature, pour clean.
Does it whistle?
No. Cast iron kettles do not whistle, watch the steam or use a timer. The trade-off is better heat retention and a cleaner aesthetic.
Why enamel on the inside?
Bare cast iron rusts when it holds water for more than a few minutes. Enamel seals the interior, prevents corrosion, and does not leach metallic taste into the tea. It also cleans easier than raw iron.
Can I use it on induction?
Yes. The flat cast iron bottom works on all induction cooktops. Set to medium power, induction heats fast, cast iron retains heat, high power is unnecessary and can damage the enamel.
Which color should I pick?
Teal is the traditional Japanese cast iron finish, deep, calm, earthy. White is modern, brighter on a dark counter. The enamel interior is identical, the pour is identical, only the shelf appearance differs.
