Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Old Dutch 34-Ounce Cast-Iron Prosperity Teapot, Chestnut Brown
Customer Review: Zen Design and excellent price
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful tetsubin. I own it, as well as another (by Joyce Chen). Both have enameled interiors and stainless steel infuser baskets. They are comparable in quality; the Joyce Chen Year-of-the-Horse is nearly twice the price, but one third less volume capacity. Tetsubin are not meant to be heated using a direct heat source; they are treated like ceramic teapots. Heat freshly drawn, cold water in a kettle, pour a small volume into your tetsubin to pre-heat and rinse the tea pot, decant, add loose tea to the pot or strainer basket, then add hot water at the desired temperature - boiling for black teas and oolong, below boiling for green/white teas and tisanes. I protect my tetsubin exteriors with an application of edible oil (chopping block lemon oil) once a year.
Description of Old Dutch 34-Ounce Cast-Iron Prosperity Teapot, Chestnut Brown
34 Oz. Chestnut Brown Cast Iron Prosperity TeapotOld Dutch cast-iron teapots combine traditional Japanese styling and a modern aesthetic that result in very evocative shapes. Holding 34 ounces, the Prosperity teapot forms a dome shape, much like an upside-down bowl, balanced by a graceful spout and arching handle. The textured surface, available in a choice of colors, takes on a weathered appearance and displays a cast, bas-relief design of twining vines. With its pleasing heft and calming presence, Prosperity 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 Prosperity 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
