Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The teapot comes ready to use. Simply wash it before the first use.
Compatibility: This teapot is compatible with all stovetops to boil water. The mesh infuser is designed to fit snugly inside the teapot, suitable for loose leaf tea and tea bags.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Hand wash the teapot with warm water and mild soap after each use. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrub brushes.
- Drying: Thoroughly dry the teapot after washing to prevent rust. Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing.
- Seasoning (Optional): If desired, you can season the cast iron to enhance its non-stick properties and protect it from rust. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the interior and heat in a low oven (e.g., 300°F/150°C) for an hour.
- Rust Prevention: If rust appears, scrub it off with steel wool, wash, dry, and re-season the teapot.
- Handle with Care: The teapot's handle may become hot when heated. Use caution when handling.
