When Are Cast Iron Kettles Not Kettles?
In reply to the question, "When are Cast Iron Kettles not Kettles?", Northline Express would have you believe "when they are humidifiers".
The purpose of their cast iron kettles are to give ambiance to the room, by heating water up using scents. And their kettles are not to be used for boiling water for beverages.
A unique idea, but does it work?
What would the cast iron cook expert say?
The kettles come in the sizes 5 quart, 3 quart and 2 quart. Prices at the time of the research were US39.99, US26.90 and US79.90 respectively. Some have a black finish (the most popular), whilst others can in found in silver, green, blue and apple red. There is even one kettle which is like half a kettle, split right down the middle, except for the spout. The half kettle has a full spout and is 2 quarts in size. Useful perhaps to put up against a wall.
But using the kettle as a humidifier has nothing to do with the size of your cast iron teapot!
Essences are known as "stove scents". You can choose from floral (Caroline breeze), pine (winter garland), cinnamon (spice cake) and apple pie (holiday welcome). All homely scents for sure. Prices vary from US6.45 to US8.90 per 1 fluid ounce bottle.
The idea is to add the stove scent to the water, heat the water and let the aroma spread throughout the room.
You certainly don't want to leave the kettle boiling as you would run the danger of running dry. So best operative in an area where the kettle can get warm without the danger of boiling.
It is certainly a novel idea, but using a cast iron kettle as a humidifier, is personally a matter of taste.
Needless to say it is a novel option, and some people must like it.
I just wonder what they are going to do with the cast iron grill pan!
