Since you're in Chinatown look for a "Chinese herbal cooker" which I
mentioned here in 95 and nobody else since. You're not going to find
it using any URL only by shopping Chinatown. Get the clay version
which is getting rarer and being replaced by electric versions. The
interior has a thick glazed and designed for any subsequent herbal
infusion. It has a parallel tubular horn handle and spout and the
liquid to poured toward you and not away like a convential tea pot.
You will have the most unique certified eclectic teapot of any of your
surfing friends. It is designed for direct gas flame cooking or
electric with trivet but I use it as a teapot and not cooking. So let
your feet do the walking and let the keyboard kibitzers simmer with
envy.
