Know before you buy
No, this kettle is not compatible with induction cooktops. It is designed specifically for use on gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops.
To preserve the hand-painted finish, you must hand-wash the kettle using mild soap and dry it immediately after cleaning. It is not dishwasher safe and should never be placed in the microwave.
The wood handle is designed to stay cooler than metal, but it can still become warm depending on the heat intensity of your burner. We recommend using caution and ensuring the flame does not extend up the sides of the kettle.
Because each piece is hand-painted, there will be slight variations in the pattern. This unique, artisanal quality is a hallmark of MacKenzie-Childs craftsmanship.
The kettle has a total capacity of 3 quarts, or 96 ounces. For safety and to prevent boiling over, we recommend filling it slightly below the maximum capacity.
