Things to note when purchasing an iron kettle

The handle is fixed. Most iron kettles have a fixed handle. Do not move it forcibly. The reason why the handle is fixed is because of "tradition," but above all, it is safer to handle a hot iron kettle.
When using a new product for the first time: After rinsing lightly, boil water 2-3 times. After the 3rd or 4th time, it will be delicious to drink.
Regarding heat: Please use medium heat whether using gas or induction.
As a guideline, use an IH heater at 600W to 800W.
When using, slide the lid
When boiling water, tilt the lid slightly to let steam escape.
The lid knob and handle are "hot"
When transferring boiled water into a pot, etc., put the lid on and pour while holding down the handle with a cloth or something similar.
Please be careful as the lid knob and handle* become very hot.
(*When using induction cooking, the pan generally does not heat up.)
Every time you finish using it
Transfer the boiled water into a pot or similar container, remove the lid, and allow the residual heat to evaporate the water.
Please do not leave hot water in the pot as this may cause rust.

About "bath scum"
The inside of the pot will change as you use it. This is not rust but what we call "scale." The "scale" shown in the photo is just one example, and in reality, "scale" of various colors will accumulate. "Scale" protects the pot from rust and also has the effect of making the water mellow and delicious, so please use it as is without washing or scrubbing. As long as the water does not become cloudy, it is considered to be in normal condition.
