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

I've got this kettle a couple of days ago,and I am returning it already!. It is a beautiful kettle,but,you cannot fill it more than a third of it's capacity,or it'll spit out the water when it's boiling (what is that about?),it drips when you pour the water resulting in a poodle underneath the kettle,and the major reason for me to returning it back is that it gives the water a very funny taste!Pitty,because Le Creuset is a fantastic brand.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rusts in 3 months!, July 9, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Le Creuset Q310067 1.8 qt. Whistling Teakettle (Red) (Kitchen)

I bought the le creuset kettle (in flame), and I abided by the instructions never to leave water standing in it. Within 3 months' time, the inside of the kettle had significant rust damage. So much so that I returned it to the manufacturer and exchanged it for an entirely different item. I recommend buying a stainless-steel kettle instead.

1.0 out of 5 stars Are Zero Stars Possible???, August 31, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Le Creuset Q310067 1.8 qt. Whistling Teakettle (Red) (Kitchen)

First off, I want to tell you I am a BIG fan of Le Creuset - I have 8 cast iron pieces, 10 stoneware pieces, and their set of spatulas, so I am familiar with the product and quality. BUT, I am extremely disappointed in my kettle. Purchase June 27, and used only twice, the enamel is being expelled, explosivley, from the bottom of the kettle. The enamel glass shards are sharp as razor blades and are a hazzard. After the second use an area of approx 3/4" x 2" was clear of enamel. After the third use, the area increased to 1" x 3", down to bare metal, for the most part. This is obviously a defective and dangerous product - it does not appear to be an isolated insidence, either. The kettle is being returned to Le Creuset, under Warranty, for replacement. The matter is also being reported to the Consumer Product Safety Commission as a dangerous / hazzardous item.
