I said a fond farewell to my old kettle today.  In other words, I threw it in the trash.  It was purchased 2.5 years ago at ドンキホーテ in Nakano-ku.  I used it solely to make tea, so the inside was horrendously caked with 2.5 years of tea.  In fact, I could make a pot of tea just by boiling water in it.

Unfortunately, I outgrew my old kettle.  It holds 1.7 liters of fluid, and I pushed it to the limit each and every time I used it.  Tea would explode out of every kettle orifice upon reaching the boiling point.  It got kind of annoying.

So I trashed it.

I went to Super Viva Home in Toyosu and bought a 3.7 liter kettle.  It's huge and makes a ton of tea.  The design looks exactly like my old kettle, so that made me happy.  I like my new kettle, but there will always be a place in my heart for my old kettle.

By the way, is a kettle considered "burnable" or "non-burnable?"  I put it in with the "non-burnable" thinking it would suffer a slightly less-degrading demise.
