steamer for wood stove
« on: February 07, 2014, 04:32:53 PM »
I was given a very nice cast iron steamer kettle for my woodstove.  I've never used one before.  How do I care for it?  Do I need to do anything to prevent rust?  Can I use tap water or do I need to use distilled water like I do in my humidifier?

Does it have an enamel finish?  If not, I'd be worried about rust. 

I've never had one so I'm not sure about the water.

It doesn't have an enamel finish.  It is designed to be used on the wood stove though.  Hopefully making sure it is dry between uses will help.

Hmm....maybe if you oiled it? :-\ 

I'd love to have one.  That's a nice gift!
