Why can't you use Tetsubin tea pots (cast iron) to heat water?

Hi Amy,

Any cast iron exterior will work, but there is an additional possible problem for induction users. My Staub cast iron has a base that is too narrow to activate induction. My electric hobs are slow. So, I use a Le Creuset enameled steel tea kettle, and pour the boiling water into my Staub cast iron. I used to use a Revere tea kettle that also worked perfectly with induction.
