FAQs
Can I put this teapot on the stove?
No. This teapot is designed for brewing tea only and must not be used on any stove-top burner.
Is the stainless steel infuser dishwasher safe?
While the infuser is stainless steel, hand washing is recommended to keep the mesh in perfect condition.
Does the cast iron affect the taste of the tea?
The enamel interior lining is specifically designed to be non-reactive, ensuring it does not impart any metallic flavor into your tea.
How much water does it hold?
This teapot has a total capacity of 800 ml, which is suitable for approximately 3 to 4 standard cups of tea.
How do I store the teapot?
Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the lid is removed or the teapot is slightly open to allow any residual moisture to evaporate.
Troubleshooting
Visible rust spots inside the teapot
Rust typically indicates the enamel has been scratched or the pot wasn't dried completely. Ensure you always wipe the teapot dry immediately after cleaning.
Tea leaves leaking into the brew
Check if the mesh infuser is seated properly. If the leaves are extremely fine, consider using a paper tea bag inside the infuser.
Exterior finish looking dull
Lightly buff the exterior with a soft, dry lint-free cloth. Do not apply chemical cleaners to the hobnail texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No assembly is required. Before the first use, rinse the interior with warm water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use soap during the initial rinse to preserve the seasoning of the exterior, though the enamel interior is non-porous.
Compatibility: This teapot is designed for brewing tea. It is not compatible with electric, gas, or induction stovetops. Use a separate kettle to boil your water before pouring it into the Buckingham teapot.
Care: To maintain the finish, hand wash only using warm water. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh detergents that might scratch the enamel or damage the cast iron exterior. Always ensure the teapot is completely dry after each use to prolong its lifespan.
