Know before you buy
The handle is constructed from stainless steel, which can become hot during use. It is recommended to use an oven mitt or towel when handling the kettle after it has been on the stovetop.
Yes, the stainless steel construction is compatible with most induction cooktops. However, it is always a good idea to check your specific cooktop's manual to ensure it supports stainless steel cookware.
The kettle features a classic, audible whistle designed to clearly alert you when the water has reached a boil, ensuring you don't accidentally leave it on the burner too long.
The satin finish is durable, but to maintain its appearance, avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals. A simple wipe-down with a soft cloth and mild dish soap is usually sufficient to keep it looking new.
The 2-quart capacity refers to the total volume of the kettle. For safe boiling and to prevent water from splashing out of the spout, it is best to fill it slightly below the maximum capacity line.
