Simplex Tea Kettle

The Simplex No. 1 is compatible with gas, electric coil, ceramic, and halogen stovetops. However, it is not suitable for induction cooktops because the copper construction is not magnetic.

Yes, because the exterior is polished solid copper, it will naturally develop a patina over time if left untreated. To maintain the original high-shine finish, you will need to use a copper-specific polish periodically.

Absolutely. The interior is lined with 100% lead-free tin, which is a traditional and food-safe material used to protect the copper and ensure your water remains pure and free of metallic taste.

No, this kettle is not dishwasher safe. The harsh detergents and high heat of a dishwasher can damage the polished copper finish and the natural beechwood handle; it should be hand-washed only.

The hand-cut birdsmouth spout is designed for precision. It allows for a controlled, steady stream of water, which is particularly helpful if you are pouring over delicate tea leaves or using a pour-over coffee dripper.

The handle is crafted from solid beechwood, which is naturally heat-resistant. While it stays cool to the touch during normal use, you should always ensure the flame or heating element is not wider than the base of the kettle to prevent the handle from overheating.
