akirluWell this is a rather RASFFy question, but...
What is it with the stainless steel teapots that so many of you have? What's with that? Why get a steel teapot, which will dissipate heat faster than porcelain or crockery, and leave your tea cold that much sooner? Yes, I know it's an excuse to use that hideously ugly hand-gnitted tea cosy wot is a relict of dear old great-aunt Flossy, but surely you could use that on a ceramic pot just as well. Is it a washing up issue? Fear of being deemed twee for having a flowery china pot? Or are all the brown betty pots going to the export trade? I don't get it.
Signed,
Dreadfully Confused, Mrs.
