Another item we inherited from Sweetie’s grandfather. We figure this vintage cast-iron tea kettle is close to 100 years old, and boy is it heavy! It has to weigh ten pounds if it weighs an ounce.

A little bit of cleaning and I guess it will still do the business.

I wouldn’t put this on my ceramic stove. It would scrape it up terribly. Besides, I don’t think I’d ever be able to get all the rust out of the inside of the kettle, so we will just call this one “retired” and let it bask in its former glory.

I’m sure if you hunted around the web, you would find some whizzo with the right advice to clean it up, good as new they’ll convince you – but personally I’d follow your line.

Yeah, we already have a lightweight tea kettle. No need to put this one into service! 🙂

Can you hold it from its grip? It looks all metal so I’d assume that its conductive and it would get hot pretty quickly!! Just curious 🙂

Well, I am sure the coil helps dissipate some of the heat, but I’ve always seen teapots like this pulled off the stove using some kind of potholder or cloth.
