A glass kettle that is beautiful even when boiling water
"JENA GLAS" was synonymous with heat-resistant glass. Trendglas-Jena, which continues to produce this kettle in Germany and Hungary, has inherited its history and quality.
This kettle is made of heat-resistant glass, which is both beautiful and practical. It will turn the ordinary time spent boiling water into a fun time.
Generous capacity of 1.75L
The "Classic" kettle is made of heat-resistant glass that is resistant to thermal shock and has a generous capacity of 1.75L. It can be used over an open flame, and the flames visible through the glass and the bubbling water are very beautiful, and even the sound of the water boiling is pleasant to hear.
It comes with a strainer made of the same heat-resistant glass, so after boiling water, you can simply add tea leaves and use it as a teapot.
A visual treat with transparency
One of the attractions of glass is its transparency, which allows you to see inside. This not only enriches your tea time, but also the way it looks, such as the color of the herbal tea and the way the tea leaves open.
Another great feature is that glass does not easily absorb odors or colors, making it easy to clean and keep clean for a long time.
Inherited tradition and beauty
Jena glass is a heat-resistant glass developed in Jena, Germany in 1920. The manufacturer at the time stopped production, but Trendglas-Jena, which took over the design, molds, and equipment, continues to produce it while maintaining its tradition and quality.
Jena glass has a long history and has been loved for a long time. Not only is it beautiful, but you can trust its quality that has been proven over the years. It is a product that you can choose with confidence as a tool for daily use.
Subtle attention to detail
On the side of the pot, there are instructions for use written in both English and German. While it has the feel of an overseas product that values functionality, the gentle, handwritten font adds a warm atmosphere.
The spout is designed to prevent water from dripping, making it easy to pour and a design that is also easy to use.
You might be a little nervous when you put it on the fire for the first time, wondering if it will break, but of course it can be used over an open flame.
The flickering flames visible through the glass and water, and the beauty of the slowly rising bubbles - even the time it takes for the water to boil is a soothing sight.

Be careful of bumping
When heating liquids such as drinks, regardless of the cooking appliance used (microwave, gas stove, induction cooking heater, etc.), the liquid may suddenly boil and the contents may splash out, a phenomenon known as "bumping."
Bumping does not always occur; it is a phenomenon that occurs only when certain conditions, such as food, tableware, pots, cooking utensils, and heating time, are met.
Glass is a material that is prone to bumping because its surface is very smooth. Also, if the container breaks due to the impact caused by bumping, there is a risk of injury from the broken pieces, so great care must be taken.
- What is bumping?
- When a liquid is heated, it may occasionally reach its boiling point (100°C for water) but not boil. This is called superheating. If some kind of stimulus or vibration is applied to this superheated liquid, it will suddenly explode and the contents will splash out. This phenomenon is called "bumping."
- Factors that cause bumping
- When there is little dissolved gas in the liquid: For example, when you reheat boiled water or tea. When the liquid is viscous: for example, miso soup, milk, soy milk, curry, etc.
When heating water in a container that has no bumps on the inside: a glass cup, a mug with a smooth surface, a highly polished pot, etc.
For quiet heating: For example, a microwave oven without a turntable.
- To prevent bumping
- Do not overheat.
If you think you've overheated the food in the microwave, let it cool for 2-3 minutes before opening the door.
When heating on a gas stove, etc., be sure to stir the liquid as you heat it. Reference: Information on bumping from the National Consumer Affairs Center of Japan (external link)
