Many people have been curious about whether a purple clay Teapot will scald your hand when brewing Tea, and they believe that a purple clay teapot does not get hot to the touch. Some even think that if a purple clay teapot does scald your hand when brewing tea, it might be a fake one.
In fact, different people have different views on whether a purple clay teapot gets hot when brewing tea, and this is quite normal. If a purple clay teapot really does scald your hand when brewing tea, is that normal?
A purple clay teapot does indeed conduct heat slowly, but compared to vessels made of materials like glass or ceramic, slow heat conduction doesn't mean it absorbs no heat. When water is poured in, the teapot won't scald your hand within a few seconds, but over time, the heat will certainly radiate out.
After all, it's boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius; how could it not scald your hand? Saying it doesn't scald your hand might mean you have thick calluses on your hands or the water isn't hot enough.
When brewing tea, the water fills the entire pot, and in the enclosed space, the evaporated steam can only escape through the hole in the lid.
If you've ever been sprayed with steam from a freshly boiled kettle, you know just how hot steam can be.
Similarly, when brewing tea, to keep the lid in place, you need to press down on the knob, which means inevitably coming into contact with the hot steam escaping from the hole.
There are also some special types of purple clay teapots that are destined to scald your hand, such as thin-walled pots, which are famous for their thin clay walls. With these pots, it's a given that they will scald your hand. To say that a purple clay teapot isn't fake unless it scalds your hand is incorrect; under certain circumstances, a purple clay teapot can indeed scald your hand, and there is no such thing as complete insulation.
If you don't want to risk getting scalded, you can choose a teapot with a larger handle, which makes it less likely to scald your hand. Alternatively, you can use water that is not as hot, but many teas require high-temperature Steeping, so that might not be an option. If necessary, switch to teas that have lower temperature requirements, such as green tea or White Tea.
So, does a purple clay teapot not scald your hand when brewing tea? That's simply not true.
