Flat Phoenix Iron Kettle Direct Fire IH Compatible Made in Japan Nanbu Iron Kettle Large Capacity Teapot Kettle Nambu Iron Iron Replenishment Kettle

Nanbu iron kettle is a traditional craft of Iwate with a history of 900 years. It has a rustic and warm texture, and its texture increases the more you use it. Boiled water is rich in divalent iron, which is easily absorbed by the body, and is an effective way to replenish iron. Before the first use and after use, please rinse the inside of the iron kettle lightly, then fill it with water until the 8th minute mark and boil it for about 15 minutes. (The hot water may become cloudy at first, so please boil it about 3 times until the water becomes colorless before using it.) Even if you have not used it for a long time, please do the same procedure when you first use it. After use, do not leave any hot water left inside the iron kettle; be sure to transfer it to a pot, etc., empty it, and dry it before storing it. If the water becomes cloudy due to rust, first rinse lightly, then add water until the 8th minute mark, wrap about 1 teaspoon of sencha in a cloth, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes from the water, being careful not to let it dry. This is a gold-preventing method that uses a chemical reaction between tannin and iron. Repeating this process 2-3 times will be even more effective. Afterwards, rinse lightly and boil water once or twice before use. Size/W21×D17.5×H20 (cm) Weight/Approx. 2.1kg Full water capacity: Approx. 1.5L
