Richmond Kettle Company Induction Tea Kettle No. 7

Yes, the Richmond No. 7 is specifically designed with an induction-ready base, making it fully compatible with induction, gas, electric coil, and ceramic stovetops.

To keep the high-gloss finish, you should hand wash the kettle with warm, soapy water and dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive scrubbers, and use a high-quality copper polish occasionally if you wish to maintain its original luster.

Yes, the interior is lined with pure tin. This traditional lining protects the water from direct contact with the copper, ensuring a clean taste while maintaining the kettle's durability.

No, this kettle is not dishwasher safe. The combination of natural beech wood, solid brass, and the polished copper exterior requires gentle hand washing to preserve the materials and finish.

The ebonized beech wood handle is designed to remain comfortable to the touch during normal use. However, always ensure the flame or heat source is centered under the base to prevent the heat from traveling up the sides toward the handle.

The kettle features a traditional whistling lid that creates a melodic sound once the water reaches a rolling boil. Because each kettle is handcrafted, the specific pitch of the whistle is unique to your individual unit.
