Is is bad to drink from a copper tea kettle that has turned green inside?
I bought a cheap tea kettle, made in China, and they recommended to always dump out the water at the end of using it. Of course, it’s not my habit to always do that. I don’t remember us doing that with Revere Ware, for example.
Now I see why they said that — it has “oxidized”, or developed a greenish-blue coating, on the copper inside the kettle, on the bottom. Do you think this is ok to still drink from, or should I get a new kettle? Informed answers are appreciated, thanks!
Mine’s all green as well. I never considered it a hazard. I’ll watch your question, but I can’t imagine it would be dangerous. Like you said, it’s just oxidized copper.
