Le Creuset Peruh Kettle

Poor quality – The base has corroded from the inside to the outside and has now made a permanent mark on our induction cooktop. When I took it to Le Creuset they implied it was my fault for using the boost setting. Ultimately they replaced it because of corrosion around the lid, so now I use a medium setting and it takes about 15 mins to boil. They also said you shouldn’t leave excess water in it - so basically you need to treat this kettle like a fragile commodity. 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.

A perfect kettle – I love this kettle. It pours well with no drips, the cap on the nozzle lifts easily to pour with a raised button on the handle just in the right place, the whistle is quite inoffensive, not nearly as screechy as my last kettle. The lid fits firmly, but I just fill by the nozzle. Easy to clean. (Wipe in hot soapy water and rinse and don't let splatters bake on.) Lovely design, looks great on my stove.
