Good idea to be careful when lid is not opening easily to not push too hard down with thumb unless using other hand to keep lid from flipping open fast.
I like the idea of this product, but the reality of it comes up a bit short.
This teapot is very well-made and works exactly as it is supposed to
This little microwave tea kettle is essentially a good idea but it has a bad design
This teapot is very well-made and works exactly as it is supposed to
This pitcher is convenient for having hot water ready to pour over your prepared tea cup or pot, and the handle is always cool to the touch
It takes just under 4 minutes to boil and the handle is cool to the touch
Regardless of all the quirky design features and awkward handle, it is easy to use and relatively safe.
it is perfect for work where I limited to plugs that can handle the wattage- at about 5 minutes in a 1200 watt microwave it starts to whistle and remains cool to the touch - the handle of course and not the glass.
It takes about 4 minutes to boil in my micro and we have a 1200watt
It takes just under 4 minutes to boil and the handle is cool to the touch
My microwave is smaller and it's lower wattage than a typical larger microwave (700 watts, I believe), so it takes a little longer than 5 minutes to boil a full pot of water
I don't know why the 5 minute maximum warning: whether there is BPA that would leach into your water at the 5 minute mark, or some other potentially unsafe reaction, or exceeding 5 minutes could cause the until to melt, explode,or some other kitchen calamity.
It takes about 5-6 minutes to boil water from the cold tap when full in my GE over-the-stove microwave.
