FAQs
What is the exact capacity of the kettle?
The kettle has a capacity of approximately 950ml.
What material is the kettle made of?
The kettle is made of Aluminium.
How much does the kettle weigh?
The kettle weighs approximately 150g.
Can I use this kettle directly on a campfire grate?
Yes, but use caution. Avoid prolonged direct flame contact on the handle, and monitor heat to prevent scorching the aluminum. A heat diffuser is recommended for more even heating.
Does it come with a carrying pouch?
The product information does not specify a carrying pouch; it is typically sold as the kettle itself.
Is the handle heat-resistant?
The handle is designed to be foldable and detachable for storage and pouring. While it is attached, it can become hot when boiling water. Use caution or oven mitts when handling a hot kettle.
How do I use the included infuser?
Place your loose-leaf tea into the infuser basket, then place the infuser into the kettle before adding hot water. This allows the tea to steep directly in the kettle.
Troubleshooting
Kettle handle is loose
Check if the handle's pivot mechanism is properly secured. Some models may have screws that can be tightened.
Water tastes metallic
Ensure the kettle is thoroughly cleaned before first use. Repeated uses and proper cleaning should resolve this. Check for any residue inside.
Water boiling unevenly or scorching
Reduce direct flame contact. Use a heat diffuser if available, or ensure the flame does not extend significantly up the sides of the kettle. Stir contents if possible.
Lid is difficult to remove or secure
Ensure the lid is aligned correctly with the rim. Gentle pressure should be applied. Check for any warping.
