A good teapot is one that is made ofsuitable material, has a strainer at the base of the spout, suits you in volume, holds a drop, holds the lid, has a hole in the lid to exit the steam and while you really like it. But first things first.
6 signs of the right teapot
How to choose a teapot 1. Sieve at the base of the spout. At the base of the nozzle, there must necessarily be a strainer that prevents the tea leaves from entering the cup. When choosing a teapot, remove the lid and look inside. The best option is if instead of one hole you see a few, and quite large ones. Small will be clogged with tea leaves. 2. Optimal volume. Calculate it fairly simply - one brew should be enough for one full tea, your or your family (depending on how many people you expect). After that, nothing should remain in the kettle - so as not to be tempted to drink old tea. For one person, a volume of 300 ml is usually sufficient. 3. The kettle holds a drop. That is, immediately after you stop pouring the tea leaves, it should stop pouring, and not drip in a saucer or on a tablecloth. Unfortunately, teapots with "incontinence" becomes now more and more, and they are so beautiful outwardly that it is very difficult not to buy them. 4. Reliable cover. She must hold fast on the kettle. To do this, in the eastern teapots, the lids are recessed and have a wide inner rim, which reliably keeps this part from accidental falls. In European models for the same purpose serves as a small latch-latch on the lid. 5. Hole for steam outlet. There must be a small hole in any lid of the kettle. Where it will be - in the center or next - it does not matter. With it, you can check how tightly the lid of the kettle closes. To do this, close the kettle and plug the hole on the lid with your finger. After that, holding the lid, gently lower into the tip of the teapot. If the lid is snug, then when you blow it, it jumps slightly. 6. Comfortable handle. The width of the palm is irregular in shape, with an extension in the upper part. How to care for a kettle:
- do not leave the teapot with tea leaves until morning: we drank tea - washed;
- Do not rub it from the inside, just rinse with running water;
- dry the open kettle without rubbing or covering it;
- Do not store the kettle near strong-smelling items.
