Know before you buy
Yes, the steel core construction makes this kettle fully compatible with induction, gas, electric coil, ceramic, and halogen stovetops.
No, this is not a whistling kettle. You will need to monitor the water temperature manually while it is on the stove.
To preserve the enamel finish and the walnut handle, hand wash the kettle with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the enamel surface.
The walnut handle is a fixed component of the design. Because it is made of natural wood, it should not be submerged in water or placed in the dishwasher.
While it is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, be cautious when using it over an open flame. Ensure the flame does not directly touch the walnut handle, as wood can scorch or burn.
The kettle has a total capacity of 10 cups, making it well-suited for group settings or multiple servings of tea and coffee.
