Is the inside of this teapot porcelain or iron?

The inside of mine is enamel, so, sadly, it cannot be used on directly on a stove.

I don't know, but it must be because it looks great inside. And water is sitting in it all the time. I don't empty it out, like I did my regular teapot that I used on the stove. I sure hope it lasts more than one year!! I love it.

No, the tea kettle isn't porcelain inside, but my sister loves the one I got her. It's just the right size for 3-4 cups of tea.

I don't know. I ordered a stainless steel one to replace this one due to its easy wear. I will dispose of this one when the new one comes in. I will never buy a porcelain one again.

I believe it is black porcelain. They work very good, and clean up nicely. These cast iron replacement grids work, and last much longer than the wire grids. Hope this helps.

I'm afraid it isn't. The inside is lined with enamel, and there will be enamel in your water if you boil it in this pot. There are some wonderful cast iron kettles from Japan, but they're a bit pricey. Search for "testubin kettle" rather than "teapot" to get you started.

No it is not cast iron; the tea pot and cups are made of a ceramic material and are sturdy but definitely do not have the finish nor weight of cast iron pieces.

I share your concerns with anything made/coming out of China! Pot is a beautiful stainless steel w/copper bottom. No leaching. I am a vegetarian, very sensitive to impurities. I enjoy every cup of tea I make. I love my tea pot.

The inside is a carbon steel.The outside appears to be enamel . I use mine every day and no chips, have had since December. Great buy. I have had an all enamel tea pot from Lennox and it dis colored and started to get orange spots and no I don't have rust in my water.

The inside is a black coated I'm thinking porcelain. It is not too thick but I don't think it will rust i haven't had mine for too long but seems to be sturdy for the size it is.

I'm not sure, but I think it was made in China. Ours served us very well for a good amount of time, but then it developed tiny cracks and tea started to seep through in very small droplets. We decided to scrap it, thaough I thought it should have lasted much longer. We now have a cast iron tea pot (also made in China). I love it! I hope this helps.

I couldn't tell if it was porcelain coated. It has rusted in several places.

I tested this with a magnet. The bottom and body are ferromagnetic (contain iron and are likely steel). The spout and top are not ferromagnetic and are therefore made of some metal other than steel. The kettle is not heavy enough and too shiny to contain any cast iron. The steel components are likely stainless, not cast iron.

It is Black, think it is the same material as the out side. It definitely will NOT RUST.When I'm done heating water, what I don't use, I poor out, let cool down and wipe the inside with paper towel. Best Tea Pot I've ever owned..........Even forgot to empty the water, till hrs latter, no problem.......You won't be sorry.........

I had another perc that was stovetop and the inside was shinier. I can't really say what the inside is. I do love this pot. It has never let me down and tastes like the old stovetop one.

It is definitely ceramic but I hand wash my set anyways - I don't think my dishwasher could clean the teapot well enough with all of the nooks and crannies.
