Green Kettle

I bought a cheap tea, made in China, and they recommended to always empty the water after use. Of course, it is not my habit to do so. I do not remember us doing that with Revere Ware, for example.

Now I see why they said that - it has "oxidized", or developed a greenish-blue coating on the copper inside the kettle on the merits. Do you think it is still allowed to drink, or should I get a new kettle? relevant answers are appreciated, Thanks!

Mine and all the greens. I never considered a danger. I will watch your question, but I can not imagine it would be dangerous. As you said, it's just oxidized copper.

Gosh, yes!

The oxidized copper minerals in the water that was left so he could be a number of mineral deposits such as CuSO4 (copper sulfate) of the green material. These teapots are usually welded around the base to seal the bottom of the pot to the sides of the pan. This is the part that I would have a problem with. I have much doubt about Chinese imports and the quality control. If they used a lead-based solder that lead can drop in fresh water and more in stagnant water. The heat of cooking plays a catalytic role in the process. Hello lead content is not good for you period.

Revere Ware was not solid copper. He was placed on copper, stainless steel, therefore, copper did not mix with water or food prepared as you. Copper was used because of the characteristics of better heat transfer at its disposal.
