Know before you buy
Yes, the Le Creuset Classic Demi Tea Kettle is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen.
This kettle has a capacity of 1.25 quarts, or approximately 1.18 liters, which is ideal for brewing several cups of tea at once.
No, this kettle is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the porcelain enamel glaze and the stainless steel, it should be hand-washed with warm, soapy water.
While the handle is designed for safe pouring, it is made of stainless steel and can become hot during use. We recommend using a kitchen towel or oven mitt when handling the kettle after it has been on the stove.
The kettle features a built-in whistle that will sound an audible alert once the water reaches a rolling boil, so you don't have to monitor it constantly.
