Japanese kettles are great. They are a thermos flask combined with a heating element and a pump. I am sure that in general they are much more energy efficient than electric kettles that I used when I lived in Britian. But sometimes, like today, I get annoyed with the way that one has to keep pressing the button. Sometimes when the water is very hot, it stops coming out at all. In any event one has to keep pressing the button. What about the famed Japanese sense of urgency. Anyone would think that Japanese kettle users are not in a hurry.
I’ve got a new Coffee Maker, but I don’t see the manual. It has a degraded kettle which I suppose the water should go there, and something in the middle, that a shower thing is above it; I think that’s the place of coffee. And the pot is under that made coffee will go there.
That’s what I know, I don’t know whether we should pour cold or hot water?
I did pour water and coffee in assuming places but it’s the coffee is way to weak, any ideas?
I want to purchase a tea kettle or pot for a tea novice. They like the clay ones, and want to make tea with an infuser from leaves not the bag kind. Can someone please tell me what I need to buy to get them started. As I am sure you can tell from this post my tea knowledge is limited to ordering it at a boba place. Also can you reccomend a good place online to purchase you reccomendation. THANK YOU!!!
Wife has gotten a cast iron kettle pot and wants to put plants into it for our backyard garden. She has asked me to drill holes into the bottom of the kettle so water can drain out. So what type of drill bit can I use that won’t disintegrate when I try to drill the holes?
Do you heat the water in a kettle then pour the water in a pot, then brew your tea, then pour it in a tea cup? That can’t be right! Please help me get it straight!!!
Years ago I read about putting something in a pot that would make noise when the water level got low. I have no recollection of what it was.. Thanks for your help.
The kettle is not a whistling one. It’s for looks and humidity on my seventy-two year-old mother’s woodstove. She gets busy with life and forgets to check the water level.
Before I had a kettle, when I used either a regular pot on the stove or a glass measuring cup in the microwave, I could tell by sight: stop when the bubbles form on the sides for white tea, when the tiny bubbles rise for green, and a proper boil for black tea. I had been planning on getting a glass stove top kettle, but my mother bought me a stainless steel whistling one instead. Is there a rule of thumb for time/temperature? My stove is gas.
I’m just getting into the habit of boiling my water for tea and I have no tea kettle. So I have some stainless steel pots and have been using the smallest I have to boil water. After a day of boiling water (breakfast, lunch, dinner) my pot gets water stains. Just wondering if there is some new cookware out there that maybe resists the development of water stains?
I’m using tap water, don’t have the coinage for filling gallons of water at the local purifying station. Just curious if there is some resistant-to-water-stain Pots or pans out there?
I’m going on vacation this week. I’ll be in a hotel part of the time, camping the other part. I’d like to try cooking with just my electric kettle part of my meals. I’ll be making instant oatmeal and cup o noodles, but what else can I do? Can I make soup in a can by putting the can in a pot and pouring in boiling water to warm it up? Anyone ever tried that? Also, what kind of kettle do I need to boil water in the mountains over a fire? Do they make special ones?
