Stainless Steel Tea Kettle

published Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 at 8:35 pm by admin



How To Clean Them

When it comes to that stainless steel tea kettle that is in our kitchen, we really do enjoy it. However, from time to time, it gets lime deposits from that hard water built up on it.

This is not only unsightly, but that deposit on the tea kettle can cause the tea to have a mineral taste. That’s right, it can take away from the way tea tastes. Removing those deposits is a procedure that is very simple and will not take much time.

Over time, the outside of that kettle can become stained. This is especially true if the kettle sits on heat for a longer period of time than needed. Don’t worry, because the outside of it is also easy to clean.

This is especially true if you do it on a regular basis. Below, we are going to tell you how to go about cleaning that stainless steel kettle that you enjoy brewing your tea in:

First of all, this may be a no brainer, but if you have an electric kettle, then you need to make sure it is not turned in before you start cleaning it. You should follow the instructions that are made by the manufacturer and avoid submerging it in the water.

The next thing you need to do is pour around a half cup of distilled white vinegar into the kettle and fill it up with water. Heat the mixture up and when it starts to boil, take it off of the heat or unplug it and let it sit there for an hour or so.

Next, fill it up with half water and half vinegar and heat the remaining lime deposits after you rinse it. After the water boils, remove it from the heat or unplug it and let it sit there overnight.

Once you have got the lime deposits removed, you need to rinse the kettle with some cold water a couple of times until you do not smell any vinegar odor.

Wipe the kettle on the outside. When you do this, use a scouring powder that is scratch free. This could be something like Bar Keepers Friend, a soft scrubber or a sponge in order to remove the stains or burn marks.

In the end, we know you will continue enjoying that same stainless steel tea kettle, just like we have been doing for many years and plan on doing for many more years.

Whistling Tea Kettles

published Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 at 8:32 pm by admin



If you want to prepare a cup of tea for yourself, chances are you will first pour water into your tea kettle, switch on a burner, and then put the tea kettle on the stove. After a few minutes, a loud, high pitched whistle will be heard to let you know that your water is boiling and it is time to pour the water on your tea bag or into your loose leaf tea pot.

While we are all familiar with whistling tea kettles, very few people know how their tea kettle produces this sound or the original use of these kinds of whistles.

The mechanics of a whistling tea kettle are built on the principle of steam. Steam can be a very powerful source of motive power. Even today, coal, gas, and nuclear power plants create heat to turn water into steam that powers turbines. When you start to heat the water in your tea kettle, you harness that same technology.

As the water heats up some of it is turned into steam. It fills the top portion of the kettle with pressurized air that has no place to escape. Whistling tea kettles have a small opening at the spout that is guarded by two disks.

The hot steam goes through the first small hole into the place between the two disks. There it moves around rapidly until it goes through the second hole and out into the atmosphere of your kitchen. As the steam moves between the disks they vibrate rapidly. This vibration creates the whistle that you hear.

Steam whistles were originally found on all steam powered devices. For example, a proper steam whistle, such as the kind found on early British trains, used the built up pressure in the engine to create an extremely loud sound to warn passersby about the coming locomotive.

Other steam engines used their whistles as a warning sound that there was too much pressure in the boiler and it needed to be released before an explosion took place.

Today, most steel and enamel tea kettles come equipped with a whistle on the pour spot that you have to lift up before you make your tea. Others have the whistle inside the pot itself for greater ease of pouring.

Some electric tea kettles even have an electric whistle that goes off when the pot reaches a certain temperature. That innovation has taken place because most tea drinkers associate a whistling tea kettle with a perfectly brewed cup of tea.

Cordless Electric Tea Kettle

published Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 at 8:25 pm by admin



When you go to buy a Cordless Electric Tea Kettle today, you should look for a combination of quality and design. Not only should it be durable and functional, but it should also posses its own style and flair.

Electric tea kettles are a definite design improvement over conventional stovetop varieties; they heat up your water nearly twice as fast, they are portable, great to use at work, and easy to clean.

However, even though many kettles come in streamlined designs and high-fashion colors, they still have the inescapable cord coming out the back. You can’t store your kettle on your range to add a touch of country charm to your kitchen. You could transfer it to your dining room table, but, again, the cord gives the whole kettle a utilitarian feel.

This is why cordless electric tea kettles have become popular.

A cordless electric tea kettle comes in two parts. First there is the base, usually in plastic, that plugs into the wall. This base doesn’t heat up itself, so you don’t have to worry about having it considered to be a hot plate, a device banned from most workplaces and dorm rooms.

The base does have electric connection points that line up with similar points on the bottom of the tea kettle. This way the electricity is conducted into the heating coil in the interior of the kettle without plugging it directly into the wall itself.

When your water is hot, the kettle will generally shut itself off. Sometimes, this action is indicated by a small red light on the base of the cordless electric tea kettle. You can then move your kettle wherever you want it.

Cordless electric tea kettles come in a variety of designs. Because the heating is done by an interior coil, the external material of the kettle can be almost anything. Many people prefer to get a kettle in steel, aluminum, or copper because of its traditional look.

Others would rather opt for a funkier, plastic version. Some of these plastic tea kettles can become quite outlandish in design. They are available in any color of the rainbow and are often molded into unique shapes that would be too elongated or organic to support in a traditional tea kettle.

If you are hoping to combine style and function, you should definitely invest in a quality cordless kettle simply for its ease of use.

Red Tea Kettle

published Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 at 8:21 pm by admin



The drink we call tea is a mixture of herbs or tea leaves steeped in hot water. While our everyday black tea leaves have only come to the West approximately 400 years ago, people of all nations have been brewing hot beverages with plants that have health or medicinal properties for thousands of years.

Just as the first era of global discovery brought oolong and Darjeeling teas to the tables of England, our rapidly globalizing world is discovering all kinds of regional teas and tisanes with delightful flavors and useful health benefits.

Red tea, or rooibos, a plant indigenous to South Africa is just one example. Continue further to learn about the red tea kettle…

After learning about this miraculous herb, you will want to get a red tea kettle to make your own right away.

Red tea grows on the hillsides of the South African cape. Native tribes would originally collect the needle-like leaves and crush them and dry them before making their tea. Indigenous red tea kettles were either made out of clay or hide.

The hide would be filled with water and tea leaves and then placed in a pit that had hot coals at the bottom. Sand would fill in the spaces around the hide, insulating it and keeping it upright.

This method takes longer than using a red tea kettle on your stovetop, but it still worked for stone-age tribes.

When the Dutch settlers, and later the English, arrived on the Cape, they too began to use red tea kettles. Because red tea tastes similar to black tea but is caffeine free, it became a popular and cheaper alternative than shipping tea from India or China.

Some Dutch settlers used traditional cast iron tea kettles, but by 1900 an enterprising settler created a new type of red tea kettle that simulated the Chinese techniques of making a fruity tea called Keemun.

This red tea kettle allowed the tea to ferment in barrels covered with wet sacking.

Red tea is great for consuming both cold and hot. A red tea kettle for cold tea is actually a clean glass or plastic container that allows the sun to do with steeping over the course of a day.

Many people love to drink red tea because it can help relieve insomnia and irritability.

It also is a great alternative for tea lovers who are prone to kidney stones. Red tea can also soothe the symptoms of allergies.

Copco Tea Kettle

published Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 at 8:13 pm by admin



Sometimes it only takes one company to change the face of product design for all time. This is the case with Copco and its line of durable, yet fashionable teakettles. In the early 1960’s, all cast iron, porcelain enameled cookware was durable but still being produced in the same styles popular fifty years ago.

Copco decided to update the design its teakettles without taking away from their quality. They also made their products lighter and stronger by making them out of steel. Today, the Copco Company has continued their tradition of stylish and long-lasting tea kettles.

The mainstay of the the Copco tea kettle line is their stainless steel varieties. There are currently twenty different stainless steel varieties from which to choose.

The styles vary from the traditional Victorian look of the Cambridge tea kettle with its s-shaped spout and metallic handle to the ultra modern look of the Impress with its heat resistant handle that cantilevers out from the tea kettle.

Another intriguing design is the Fusion tea kettle.

The top half and the lid are in traditional stainless steel while the bottom half has a highly reflective porcelain enameled finish in a metallic blue. The Fusion kettle also has a built in whistle so you don’t have to lift the whistle up before pouring.

You can also find many great enamel on steel tea kettles from Copco. One of the main advantages of enamel tea kettles is that you can choose from a wide array of colors.

The Whimsy tea kettle comes in white or black, but is accented with a red lid handle, yellow whistle cover, and blue cover lifting mechanism.

The One Touch tea kettle is available in blue, maroon, red, white, and black. It also employs another Copco innovation. As soon as you pick this kettle up by the handle, the whistle cover automatically opens.

Copco tea kettles have been providing quality and variety for over forty years.
