Know before you buy
No, this specific model is not compatible with induction cooktops. It is designed for use on gas, electric coil, ceramic, and halogen stovetops.
Instead of a high-pitched, piercing shriek, this kettle features a two-tone harmonica whistle that produces a more melodic, musical sound when the water reaches a boil.
While the handle is durable, it is made of stainless steel and can conduct heat. We recommend using a pot holder or oven mitt when handling the kettle after it has been on a hot burner.
To keep the copper finish looking its best, hand wash the exterior with mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals, which can scratch or dull the metallic surface.
The 1.8-quart capacity is ideal for everyday use, typically yielding about 6 to 7 cups of water. It is well-suited for a small to medium-sized household or for preparing several mugs of tea at once.
Yes, the kettle features an extra-large opening that makes it simple to fill directly from the tap and provides enough space to reach inside for thorough cleaning.
