Essteele Stainless Steel Stovetop 1.9L Kettle
Verified1 review
Attractive polished stainless steel kettle suitable for all hob types. I use it on an induction hob. When filled with 500 ml of room temperature water (23C) it took 1 minute to boil on the boost setting of my hob element. On the high setting about two minutes. I have found an electric kettle takes about 3 minutes with the same water. It is generally quiet enough but on some induction settings can emit a rumble. There is an attractive whistle to let you know it has boiled. Of course it has to be manually turned off or your hob may be set to time out.
The outside is highly polished and the inside a grey green colour, which could be stainless steel or some type of coating, it doesn’t say.
There is a bit of weight in the kettle compared to an electric or aluminium kettle, some people may find it a bit heavy.
Follow-up · I’ve been using the kettle for a few weeks now. Mostly when I want to heat a lot of water quickly. The pitch of the whistle is a little to high, that could be because I run the induction on boost so there is a lot of steam. I’ve seen another brand that has a more pleasing train whistle and is pure stainless on the inside. I find this one pours well enough without issues; although, I have a kettle with a smaller spout that I think is even better. I just wipe the outside clean and haven’t noticed any problems keeping it looking good. For me the handle does not get hot. I imagine it may be different if you use a gas cooktop, but you should not use unflued gas as it is a health hazard.
