are enamel-on-steel kettles safe?

I think the residue is just minerals in your water. I get the same thing in
my stainless steel tea kettle.

Hi,
I recently bought anenamel-on-steelkettle to boil water (it is
covered with black enamel on the inside). *After i used it several
times, i was cleaning the inside with a paper towel and i saw a lot of
dark residue left on the paper towel. *Is it normal? *It seems like
after i cleaned it the traces of that stuff disappeared but after i
boiled the water again they reappeared. * Should i be concerned that
the enamel is dissolving into the water? or is it just something from
the water itself?
Thanks
Yev
Add a couple of tablespoons of 5% white vinegar to the pot when you fill
it with water. Will keep the stuff from precipitating out on your pot.

Hi all,
Thanks for the responses. I kinda doubt it could be from the water,
because i have other pots (not sure if they are stainless steel or
aluminum) and i dont get any of that residue there when i boil the
water. But i ll try to boil bottled water and see what happens.
