Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Old Dutch 28-Ounce Cast-Iron Symmetry Teapot, Matte Black
Customer Review: Perfect teapot for my needs
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a smaller teapot that was nice but didn't make a lot of tea. I bought this one for a few reasons: first I like the cast iron idea (and it is enameled inside so you don't need to worry about your tea tasting like metal). Secondly, it matches my kitchen decor (I'm a guy: my plates and such are all semigloss black. What can I say?) Finally: It's big enough to make the amount of tea I want, but not so big I end up making too much. It works really well and is easy to clean. The insert lifts out and you can throw the used tea away easily without making a big mess in the sink. It keeps tea warm for quite some time, especially if you warm up the pot first which is usually recommended for any teapot. Simply pour some hot water in it (from the tap is fine) and let it sit while you boil your water and it should be pretty warm by the time you're ready to make your tea. I make a pot of tea when I wake up and when I get out of the shower I'm able to enjoy a ten ounce cup or so before I leave then I can pour the rest in my commuter mug and go. I don't really have anything negative to say about it, however, anyone with tendinitis or a similar condition may want to note: it's very heavy, even when empty.
Description of Old Dutch 28-Ounce Cast-Iron Symmetry Teapot, Matte Black
28 Oz. Matte Black Cast Iron Symmetry TeapotOld Dutch cast-iron teapots combine traditional Japanese styling and a modern aesthetic that result in very evocative shapes. Holding 28 ounces, the Symmetry teapot forms a rustic square, flatter than the cube-shaped Harmony teapot, and is positioned on the diagonal so that the spout comes out a corner rather than a side. The Asian-style metal handle is squared as well, in contrast with the concentric rings and rounded knob on the lid. Symmetry's weathered-look finish comes in a choice of matte colors, unadorned, which along with the perfect heft lends quiet contemplation to the act of making tea.
Iron teapots traditionally used in Japan are known as tetsubin, which were used to boil water as well as brew tea. However, the Symmetry teapot is meant just for brewing, not for boiling on a stovetop. Old Dutch uses a specially purified cast iron for its teapots, and coats the insides with black enamel to help prevent rusting. Unlike ceramic teapots, the heavy cast iron retains heat wonderfully and won't chip. After use, the pot is best cared for when rinsed and dried by hand before storing. A stainless-steel infusing basket that hangs from the rim is included to facilitate brewing with loose tea leaves. --Ann Bieri
