STAUB Cast Iron 1-qt Round Tea Kettle

Very inefficient water heater. Yes the cast iron feel is nice but it takes twice as long to heat than our previous tea kettle. The volume of water it heats is also limiting. If you are a true drinker this product is not what you want. Wish I never bought it.

While this product is beautiful, it does not have a whistle :(

I use this tea kettle 3-4 times daily. The kettle heats up very quickly (especially on induction ranges) easily supporting 2 tall tea cups of 12 oz (350 ml) each. This tea kettle is very distinctive and charming, but its VERY functional. To properly use the Tea Kettle, boil the water until a steady stream of steam vents from the spout. Fill your tea cups (1 or 2 ). Immediately after pouring the water, remove the top lid and place it on a Trivet or counter (its still cool enough to grab lid with hand). Then pour any surplus water into sink (with lid off). The cast iron kettle is still very hot ... any remaining water drops will evaporate from the heat. Voila - no clean up or pot holders needed. Please use your Staub Tea Kettle, its design to be used, it’s a workhorse.

This Tea kettle not only looks great... but is a work horse. I use this kettle 3-4 times a day. It can easily hold enough of water for 2 deep tea cups 12 ounces (350ml) each. Heats up fast and can boil water quickly (especially on induction ranges). The trick as soon at it boils with a steady steam coming out... pour the water into the tea cups.. remove the lid (still cool enough to grab top knob) and rest it on a trivet. Grab the center of the kettle handles (without lid) dump the remaining water in sink... the kettle is hot enough any residual water evaporates off in seconds. HIGHLY recommend this kettle! Please use it for its intended purpose, not as a display piece.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My new Basil cast iron is not only beautiful but also functional. Perfect for brewing tea and I’m sure there are many other uses like soap that I can’t wait to try!

The kettle is excellent my lads, but the cheap nickel hardware- moans of agony. Just imaging the richness these jewel toned kettles would simply rejoice to the eye of only the knob and handles were a golden brass!!! Long have I hoped and searched for replacement hardware but alas, I suppose I am the only one who desires brass instead of this clanging cold nickel.

It is beautiful. I have not used as I am just admiring for now! The color, the finish! , the design, all of the kettle is spectacular thus I will not use just yet. “Saving for that special ‘one day’.” Thank you….

I first purchased this “teapot” as a sauce and gravy. Boat. Warm it up with boiling water fit 5 mins and it will provide a beautiful, functional gravy boat. I love it so much that I am purchasing a second for our holiday home where it will serve both as a teapot and as a gravy/sauce boat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] LOVE this tea pot. It heats up quickly and keeps the water hot for a long time— not to mention is looks absolutely beautiful on my stove!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of the best properties of cast iron is the ability to retain heat. It’s a pleasure to be able to sit down at the table with the kettle on a trivet and be able to read and then recharge your cup. No up and down or reheating needed. I've had no issue with the kettle but the paint did stick to my electric burner once. I asked them how to keep it from corroding because obviously there was nothing wrong with the kettle itself and it still performed its function. The company was great and just asked for a picture of the kettle and the burner before sending it back. They sent me a new one at no charge.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this teapot! My hubby knows I enjoy making tea and I was in love at first sight when I unwrapped the box.

Awesome little pot....does more than just boil water! Great for all kinds of sauces, small "potions" aka fun drinks!

It's nice to make tea for myself, but a bit smaller than I expected.

Cast iron is the perfect material for a teapot. The water heats quickly, and the cast iron keeps it nice and hot. Can also be used to reheat and serve soups, sauces and gravies. Did not expect to use this as much as I do!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pot was seemed great at first, but after a few months of use the bottom of the pot began disintegrating. Didn’t think that was possible with this material, certainly not with such little use. To make matters worse, I only realized what was happening after taking a big gulp of tea with fragments in it. Furious.

Gorgeous teapot. Heats quickly and holds the heat longer than the one I previously owned. Use to brew tea, heat water for French Coffee Press, hold soup, broth, and gravy to temperature. Received this for Mother's Day and looks as good as they day I took it out of the box. Stays nice and shiny and the color is magnificent!

Staub quality not as expected. Store experience is awful. I don't think I'd purchase a Zwilling product again after bad experiences with Staub purchases at Christmas.

This teapot will take longer to heat up given the material but will keep the tea nice and warm after removed from the heat source.

Bought this for a friend for Christmas, so nice I believe I will be ordering one for me as well
