Know before you buy
No, this kettle does not feature a whistling mechanism. You will need to monitor the water temperature manually, which is standard for many traditional, high-end copper kettles.
To preserve the hammered patina, hand wash the kettle with mild soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive scrubbers, and use a copper-specific polish occasionally if you wish to restore its original luster.
Yes, the interior is hand-lined with tin, which is a traditional, food-safe material known for its non-reactive properties. It provides a protective barrier between the copper and your water, ensuring longevity and safety.
No, this kettle is made of pure copper, which is not magnetic and therefore will not function on induction cooktops. It is best suited for gas or electric ranges.
The harsh detergents and high heat cycles of a dishwasher can damage the tin lining and strip the hammered patina finish from the copper. Hand washing is required to maintain the integrity and aesthetic of the materials.
