Know before you buy
Yes, the Alessi 2.09-qt. kettle is specifically designed to be compatible with induction stovetops, as well as gas and electric ranges.
Unlike standard kettles that emit a shrill shriek, this model features a brass whistle designed to produce a melodic, two-tone sound when the water reaches a boil.
The handle is crafted from PA (polyamide), a durable, heat-resistant plastic that stays cool to the touch during normal stovetop use.
While the kettle has a total capacity of 2 liters, it is recommended to fill it slightly below the maximum level to prevent boiling water from splashing out of the spout.
The high-quality stainless steel is durable and easy to clean. We recommend hand washing with mild soap and avoiding abrasive scrubbers to maintain the polished finish.
Yes, this piece is entirely produced in Italy, adhering to Alessi's long-standing commitment to high-quality European craftsmanship.
