Cast Iron Teapot, Large Capacity 44oz Tea Kettle with Infuser for Stove Top, Anti-Hot Wood Handle Japanese Tea Pot for Loose Leaf Coated with Enameled Interior, 1300ml Black

I don't think you're supposed to boil water in them they can crack, these are teapots, not tea kettles. Boiling water in them can damage the enamel and cause them to crack/chip/flake off. If they had no enamel then it would be okay. You're supposed to add hot water and then your tea. You can heat them a little but don't boil water in them. Research how to care for cast iron teapots, you'll see.

Pros: The kettle is aesthetically beautiful. It seems effective at heating water and I wasn’t as disappointed in the size as others who’ve reviewed (really what I’d expect for a stovetop kettle). The rope on the handle seems to be natural twine and is great to protect your hands, though I see it as more of a fail-safe than a potholder replacement.The main flaw I see in this is the little rope they have to keep the lid in place appears to be synthetic is not heat tolerant. The kettle itself came with no instructions and the Amazon information provided nothing about removing it before use. Perhaps it’s a rookie mistake, but I assumed if it’s meant to keep the lid in place while pouring when the kettle is hot, one could heat water with it on. Within seconds of the first use the exposed bit than hung down the side melted and detached from the kettle. It was disappointing, but most of the rope was still in tact in the lid. Then today when I had the water on a bit hotter, half of the remaining cord melted down the side of the kettle, causing damage to the kettle in addition to awful fumes. I’ve tried scrubbing but it won’t come off. This is only my third use and now the kettle looks awful, the tie down is useless, not to mention added concerns about whatever fumes will continue to rise as the synthetic material permanently melted to the side heats during each use. The design of the lid cord is completely flawed. If you buy this kettle remove the cord tying down the lid to avoid this issue.

I wanted to like this teapot. It was super cute and it didn't whistle! I am looking for a teapot that DOESN'T whistle. The only thing is it's to small. The spout is at a weird angle so when the water is boiling and the steam is rising out of the small hole in the cover ur hand gets very hot. But you can't pour faster cuz of the spout is A) to small B) at a weird angle. I'd recommend it for people that have tea (teaparty) cuz the water does stay hot longer.

Quality is good, little heavy to handle. The design is good, looks so unique and beautiful.

Has an internal net for loose tea. I really look forward to serving tea with it. Looks so unique

I love this tea pot!

Love it

This is a great little tea kettle, but it does have one caveat; the lid can easily open when you are pouring and give you a nasty steam burn. I have learned to pour with one finger pressing down on the the little bulb-shaped handle on the lid to keep the lid firmly in place, but even while doing that I still get the occasional burn from steam coming up through the ventilation hole in the lid. Beware the steam. Those burns hurt like hell! 🔥😥Pro tip: When the water comes to a boil, don’t try to move the kettle. Just turn the burner off and use the attached string to pull the lid back a little to vent steam. Just let it sit there for a few minutes and cool down. If you’re worried about the water getting cold; don’t. This kettle is thick and does an amazing job of keeping the water hot. Use your middle finger to press down on the lid handle as you pour

Speedy delivery and quality craftsmanship

Love this teapot. It looks beautiful and well made. Easy to use and clean up. It keeps hot tea for more time.
