In a kitchen, everyone has personal preferences. It could be as simple as a wall color or as complex as a countertop design. One thing that many people find attractive to use and display is their tea accessories, and a favorite for many is the stainless steel teapot.
When shopping for one of these kitchen accessories, there is no such thing as a good or bad selection. As with many other parts of a kitchen, it all comes down to function and personal taste. Many people buy whatever is cheapest at the local store or Walmart simply because it is what they have always used. But a stainless steel teapot model also has a lot going for it, and is usually not that much more expensive.
If anyone is looking for aesthetic appeal, these models are great. They brighten up the room and can blend in with any decor without taking away from the effect you’re trying to create.
One thing that is great about these items is that although most are silver in color, you can get many different shapes and styles. With the addition of ceramic tile or another type of coating, you’ll also be able to brighten up your kitchen with one of several different colors. Or feel free to buy several in different colors. In my kitchen I have two different ones due to the difference in size and appearance.
Cleanup is a breeze as stainless steel cookware will not discolor with use. A simple cleaning with a cloth each time you use it and you’re done. Just remember to keep putting fresh water in so you have “living” water for your tea when the kettle gets hot.
Another important thing to note is that heating the liquid can be accomplished much more easily than many other types of kettles. This is because metal absorbs and transfers heat more evenly and quickly and will retain it longer. And unlike copper models, this one won’t make your liquid taste metallic.
Some of these models are also quite valuable and collectible. There is quite an extensive selection to consider. As with anything related to tea, you may end up spending a small sum of money or a very large one if you opt for a designer stainless steel teapot. Whichever type you end up with, any tea drinker will love having a good one in addition to their assorted teapots.
