Le Creuset Stoneware Teapot with Stainless Steel Infuser - Nectar - 1.3l

No, this is a serving teapot. It should not be placed directly on a stove or heating element.

Yes, the stoneware is thermoresistant and safe for microwave use.

Yes, the infuser is dishwasher safe and will not rust under normal conditions.

It holds 1.3 litres, which is typically enough for 4 to 6 standard teacups.

The glaze is designed to be highly durable and scratch-resistant, but like all stoneware, it should be protected from sharp impacts against hard surfaces.

While the stoneware resists heat transfer better than metal, the handle may become warm to the touch when the pot is filled with boiling water; handle with care.

Ensure the stainless steel infuser is correctly seated in the rim of the teapot and that the lid is pressed down firmly to secure the mesh.

Soak the interior with a mixture of baking soda and warm water for 30 minutes, then scrub gently with a soft cloth to remove stubborn tea tannins.

Always place your index finger gently on the lid knob while pouring to stabilize it, as ceramic lids are designed for easy removal and may slide if tilted steeply.
