Old Dutch International DuraCopper Io Tea Kettle
Best elegant kitchen accent for design conscious home cooks.
Ordinary copper kettles tarnish and discolor over time, requiring frequent polishing. The Old Dutch International DuraCopper Io Tea Kettle features an exclusive DuraCopper® process that bonds a titanium dioxide/copper material to heavy-gauge #304 stainless steel. This creates a durable, brilliant finish that never tarnishes and never needs polishing. Its efficient encapsulated base reduces boil time and is compatible with all stovetops, including induction. A pleasant whistle alerts you when water is boiling, and the trigger spout allows for convenient pouring.
