Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The Chantal Swan teakettle features a long-lasting 18/10 stainless-steel body that lasts for generations. The kettle's smooth, flat base features an aluminum core for efficient heat conduction and solid contact with the burner. The bottom is safe for use with ceramic, glass, and induction stovetops. You will know when the water is boiling once the harmonious whistle sounds its two notes. In addition, the kettle offers a spring-loaded, stay-open flipper that keeps your fingers away from the steam while pouring. Chantal offers replacement parts if a part deteriorates, letting tea aficionados enjoy a lifetime of use. In addition, the kettle features an extra-large lid opening for easy cleaning.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the color fade?
A: Never. However, gas stoves have been known to cause discoloration on the bottom.
Q: How do I clean it?
A: Chantal teakettles are dishwasher-safe. You will need to occasionally boil a quart of water with 1/4 cup vinegar for 10 to 15 minutes to remove lime deposits from the Hohner whistle.
Q: Will it work on all stoves?
A: Yes, including glass and ceramic tops as well as magnetic induction.
Q: Why are replacement parts available? Is it a quality issue?
A: Chantal uses nothing but the highest-quality materials available. However, the materials in the lid gasket and the whistle simply will not last as long as the enamel pot, and by offering replacement parts for these items, your teakettle can last a lifetime.

Elegant but ...,

This review is from: Chantal Stainless 1-4/5-Quart Swan Teakettle (Kitchen)
I bought this after my enameled kettled rusted out and chipped on the inside. So I was looking for stainless, something with a handle that did not require a pot holder, and I was struck by the design of this kettle. It has a satin finish, a heavy handle, and a reinforced bottom that sits well on the burner. I am a big tea drinker so I use it a lot and admire its design. The problems: The whistle is soft and does not always work. It does not always work because the cover doesn't always fit well and steam escapes around it. Also once it boils and you want to put up some more water the cover doesn't always come off when the pot is hot. (My husband the industrial engineer says it has to do with the materials expanding with heat, etc.) It is very well made and elegant though.

This review is from: Chantal Stainless 1-4/5-Quart Swan Teakettle (Kitchen)
Absolutely fantastic. I bought the Chantal Swan tea kettle yesterday and have spent the last day making up excuses to boil water just so I could use the thing. It's very stylish (I can see why it won the design award). The "stay cool" handle really does stay cool -- no need to use a potholder to pick the kettle up. And the whistle is great. It's a different whistle than in Chantal's higher priced "classic" tea kettle line but, in my opinion, it's MUCH better. The Swan whistle is slightly harmonic but not as loud or shrill as the whistle in Chantal's classic tea kettle.Speaking of Chantal's classic tea kettle, that actually was the first kettle I bought yesterday. Terrible. The whistle was loud, shrill and annoying and the handle was much too hot to handle without a potholder. I exchanged it the same day for the Swan. Now I couldn't be happier. Bonus: The Chantal classic kettle is $100 but the Swan is only $60. Save yourself $40 and get the better kettle. One negative about the Swan is that it dribbles a bit of water out of the spout as the water boils. Not a big deal on my stove but this is why I gave it four stars instead of five. Nevertheless, I highly recommend the Swan kettle.

Not for Me,
By Lousy Cook (Salinas, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chantal Stainless 1-4/5-Quart Swan Teakettle (Kitchen)
First the good points: the kettle is hefty stainless, it feels good and sturdy; the design is nice looking. Now the bad: the whistle is low toned, like a loooong tooooooot on a tugboat, but much-much-much softer, sometimes nearly inaudible; like a previous reviewer, mine drips from the spout when boiling; and the worst of it is you need two hands to pour - one to hold the handle, the other to lift the spout lid. With my old kettle the thumb of the hand holding the handle could push a lever and lift the pouring lid, while with this one the lever is too far away and you need to lift the pouring lid with your other hand. Also the lever is too near the escaping steam making for a hot thumb. I will be returning mine tomorrow.
