Can this be used to clean the inside of a Tea Kettle that has non-stick coating?

I've used it on my coffee pot and it works great. I would think the same to be true of tea stains.

The lining inside the boiler is nonstick (but not Teflon based) not stainless steel. One advice if you do purchase this item is to use filtered water if possible. We have a Brita filter pitcher that we use to pour water into the boiler. Reduces the amount of calcified buildup if you live in an area with hard water.

It is safe to use a scouring pad (or steel wool for more stubborn stains) and regular dish soap. This should not damage the nonstick finish. You can also clean the pan by boiling soap water in the pan for 10-15 minutes. After that, you can throw away the water, let the pan cool and then scrub the pan with a heavy duty scrubber.

I have only used it on a steel pan. if it is non stick interior with a steel exterior it should work!Tania

Yes, I have used it on non-stick surfaces, but don't scrub with anything that will scratch the surface.

I seriously doubt it. This is an abrasive that removes cooking buildup. It doesn't restore coating.

I think so but it might scratch the stainless surface. It cleans well with detergent and hot water.

Not a problem. I reheat water in the teapot routinely. The interior of the kettle is also enameled and not just raw metal so rust isn't a problem....as long as the enamel is intact and not chipped off via denting or other damage. I don't know how long the enameled interior lasts but I'm a seasoned citizen and therefore consider it to have a lifetime guarantee.

I dont see why not. If it boils dry a lot you might loose that nice shiny inside but it probably wont hurt anything. Cast iron is hard to damage.

No! It would ruin the lining of it. I love my little teapot. I works great!!!

Never tried it but my water softener guy told me to get cleaner for glass stove tops. It shouldn't scratch porcelain. I will try it soon myself.

I am not sure. The texture is different than my teflon cookware. Running your fingers across the inner kettle there is the a sqeak to it. If you ask because like most teakettle owners, they leave water in it between uses. However, this is not a habit I would promote for a teakettle. I always rinse mine after use or before the end of the day. There is still some residual water as I don't leave it out to dry in the dish rack, but looking into it, there are no rust marks on it.

Yes, but the down side of this kettle is that the spout is the only opening; for filling and for cleaning. So to fill the kettle one would have to press the lever to open the spout and stand there while it fills. No easy way to clean the interior. I returned mine.

There seems to be some kinda of non stick coating inside that makes cleaning easier. Been using it for few years no problem.

Do not use steel wool. Soak the pan in detergent and use a plastic equivalent to the steel wool. Otherwise, you will destroy the non-stick coating.

It doesn't concern me, for two reasons; 1). Since it's for boiling water, and not any other liquid, there's no reason you'd need to clean it beyond a simple hot soapy water rinse occasionally. 2). This item has been around for a very long time and hasn't been known to have problems. Having said that, if it just skwigs you out that you can't see inside, don't buy it, nothing wrong with your feelings. It's not the 'be all end all' kettle; it's just a simple gets-the-water-boiled kettle. I've had one in the house since I was 18 (51 now). I bought a Le Creuset enamel on steel zen 10 years ago, trying to be fancy I guess, and it rusted, the lid was super hard to take off and was heavy. I went right back to the Revere kettle and never looked back.

Never tried it... But if you do plan to use it that ways you may damage the outer color and the polish inside the kettle. And also remember that this is made up of cast iron and would be super hot if used with stove top. Let us know how it goes...
