>>121967 (OP) Of course. Every russian has samovar along with fur coat and ushanka since his birth. For most prominent russians they give silver and golden samovars.
>>121967 (OP) Last one I had like in 1995 and that was actually electrical kettle in disguise. Maybe some people in remote villages still have them, I am not sure that anyone else uses them, they are fire hazard because original samovar uses wood chips to burn and boil water. Electrical one in my opinion too electrical for samovar and too unwieldy for electrical kettle. My balalaika still ok tho
>>121997 which is the most probable to be a fire hazard?
the original samovar that uses wood chips? or eletric one imitating one
I have a Russell Hobbs electric kettle from pic related. It's way better that having a kettle using gas stove specially a poor country with expensive consumer piped -natural gas or propane or butane gas cylinder. But you have to buy a good one, not one from Chinese stores that some even heat water and smell bad.
>>122043 >which is the most probable to be a fire hazard? The original of course. It is basically coal or wood filled tube surrounded by water tank, knock it down accidently and you have a fire, loose some sparks through top opening and you have a fire. Generally you don't want to use it indoors, and if you reeeally do want that sweet indoor teaaussy, you stick chimney onto samovar and into window and operate samovar with caution not inlike one with wood stove. Thats why there are mostly electric ones in cities, but, again, electric one is just glorified kettle, and they are rare because no one bothers with them.
>>125939 Funny and interesting. But to be honest, a primitive technology that does not give any control over tea, for example, I like to add lemon juice to a cup.
Бэтмен, или насильник Батмен — прозвище неизвестного мужчины, совершившего серию изнасилований в Англии с 1991 по 2000 год. Также есть предположение, что он может быть причастен к одному убийству, совершённому в 1996 году
When we are making backyard party with friends I also put some coals into it and have 5 liters of constantly boiling water for hot beverages. It looks interesting on a table and samovar is a simbol of hospitality.
