Product Description
Amazon.com Review
From the Le Creuset Accessories line comes this whistling kettle made of enamel-coated carbon steel, suitable for use on virtually all cooking surfaces (gas, electric, radiant ceramic). The heavyweight metal conducts heat evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the kettle, quickly heating water for a pot of tea. The tight-fitting lid and locking handle let you pour without the risk of scalding your knuckles with hot steam. And this kettle, like all other Le Creuset products, is a bright and colorful addition to your kitchen. --Schuyler Ingle
Product Description
You'll start your day on a cheery note just looking at this charming 1.8-qt. Teakettle. Add some character to your kitchen as you heat your water for tea, cocoa or soup. Although it's not made of cast iron like its cookware counterparts, the teakettle is steel coated with double-enamel which conducts heat evenly and rapidly. The exterior holds up to everyday use and resists chipping and wipes clean - no worrying about polishing or scrubbing clean. Handle and knob are both cool to the touch. It's a fun gift for the tea enthusiast and great complement to Le Creuset blue cookware Won't absorb odors or flavors and resists moisture absorption Enameled surface makes it easy to clean and scratch resistant

Cute, Sturdy but it will rust,
By A Customer
This review is from: Le Creuset 1-4/5-Quart Whistling Teakettle, Blue (Kitchen)
I've owned this kettle for about a year and a half. Enamel will rust even with the best of care. I had hopes because of Le Creuset's quality it would last for years. I would not recommend this product.

Love this kettle!,
This review is from: Le Creuset 1-4/5-Quart Whistling Teakettle, Blue (Kitchen)
I was very surprised to read the bad reviews about this teakettle! I have used the kettle for a month and a half and have not burned myself yet! I bought this kettle after ruining the enamel on my old cheapy kettle (By boiling the it dry - NOT a good idea!). The whistle on this kettle insures that I will never do THAT again! I understand the concerns of people about burning themselves when removing the whistle before pouring. I avoid that by pulling the kettle off the heat (to make sure I do not get splashed by rapidly boiling water), and then gently pulling the whistle out using a potholder to protect my hands. I have not found the handle of the kettle to get too hot. It says in the directions included with the kettle to make sure you point the steam vent away from the handle; maybe these people are forgetting to do that. At any rate, I am enjoying both the beauty and function this kettle brings to my kitchen. I would not hesitate to buy this kettle again.

Looks nice, but...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Le Creuset 1-4/5-Quart Whistling Teakettle, Blue (Kitchen)
I received this kettle as a wedding gift and was very happy with it, at first. While it looks very nice, it is too high maintenance. It rusts if not left completely dry and the finish chips off too easily. Also, the whistling attachment can be difficult to remove, especially since it is hot (but it's also a pain to pop it back in to place). And, if you lose or break the whistling piece, the kettle is no longer a whistling kettle. Who knew a tea kettle could be such a hassle? I returned this and got the Oxo Uplift tea kettle instead. I am MUCH happier with this one.
