Iron kettles have many benefits. Their excellent heat distribution and retention properties, keep boiled water hotter for longer. Iron from the pot released in the water can be appreciated as a dietery source of iron as well as improving the flavor of the water. Cast Iron also ages beautifully and will last for over 100 years with care.
