Best Stovetop Kettles

Functional, effective and visually attractive – Purchased this stovetop kettle several weeks ago with some reservations due to several negative reviews. After several weeks use on our induction… Read more

cooktop my experience is that the kettle is simple to fill with the lid being a snug fit but not difficult to remove. The kettle happily heats on the "boost" setting on our induction cooktop and boils within several minutes. The section of the handle which is not covered by black insulated material does get warm during use but does not get that hot that it it cannot be touched whilst flipping up the spout whistle to allow pouring. The whistle itself has an insulated section to allow it to be flipped back for pouring which can easily be operated without any risk of touching heated parts of the whistle. Finally the visual appearance of the kettle is stunning and looks great when left on a wooden block near the cooktop.

I own a lot of Le creuset products and have always been so impressed by the quality but needless to say I’m pretty disappointed with the kettle. Looks good but that’s about it.

Cant fault it – I have been using this kettle on a daily basis on a gas stove, and despite other negative feedback, I cannot fault it. It appears to be well made from quality material. Recommended Show details

completely rusted inside the kettle – My kettle has rusted completely, and apparently, Le Creuset rejected the warranty of the kettle, (this is through a third party). the kettle is supposed to be a warranty for 5 years and I certainly didn't expect rust to show up after a year. Show details
