- The kettle is versatile, suitable for heating on direct fire or an electric source. For optimal results, the use of an alcohol lamp or an electric stove is recommended.
- To preserve the integrity of the kettle, avoid rapid temperature changes. Do not add cold water into a hot kettle or hot water into a cold one, as it may lead to cracking or even explosion due to thermal shock.
