Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust and scratch-resistant materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before your first use, wash the teapot and the stainless steel infuser in warm, soapy water. To ensure longevity, avoid thermal shock by not moving the teapot directly from a freezer to a hot environment. While the stoneware is resistant to high temperatures, it should never be placed directly on a stovetop or heat source. For cleaning, the glazed surface is dishwasher safe, but hand-washing the stainless steel infuser with a soft brush is recommended to remove trapped tea leaves from the mesh. Always ensure the infuser is dry before storage to prevent water spotting.
