Le Creuset Stainless Steel Whistling Tea Kettle, 1.7 qt.

Product Description

Le Creuset Enamel-on-Steel Teakettles

Le Creuset Zen Tea Kettle shown in Oyster

Since 1925, Le Creuset cast iron has been recognized for its strength and durability. Cast individually in sand molds, then hand-inspected by French artisans, each piece represents a rich heritage and continues a tradition of lasting, authentic design.

Le Creuset is focused on inspiring and empowering people everywhere to make joy through cooking. From our original enameled cast iron cookware to stoneware, stainless, silicone and more.

Le Creuset Classic Tea Kettles

With classic and modern shapes, there's a Le Creuset kettle to fit into any kitchen design scheme. Useful for preparing French press coffee, oatmeal and much more in addition to tea, durable carbon steel heats water rapidly, and a fixed single-tone whistle alerts when the water has reached a rolling boil. Chip-resistant, non-reactive, resistant to stains, and easy to clean, Le Creuset kettles make excellent gifts and are a beautiful way to add a touch of color to the kitchen.

Single-tone whistle alerts when water has reached a rolling boil
Generous base size for greater contact with heating element so water boils quickly
Convenient quick heating with superior heat distribution
Fixed whistle can be easily flipped open for pouring
Stainless steel handle brackets for secure handling
Heat-resistant ergonomic handle for safe pouring
Kettle capacity marked on the base for quick reference
Can be used on any heat source (gas, electric, ceramic, halogen, induction)

Heating Tips

When filling the kettle with water, only fill water above the first layer of holes on the interior of the spout (see diagram on box for more information).

For efficient and safe boiling, always use burner a similar in size to the base of the kettle.

Cleaning and care

Do not bang the teakettle down onto a stove's surface or work surface. Repeated banging may damage the exterior enamel.

Do not place the kettle on the heat source without having water in the kettle. Never leave a teakettle simmering for long periods on any heat source; it may boil dry, which can result in overheating and damage to the base and enamel.

Do not leave water standing in a kettle when it is not in use. A buildup of scale may occur and reduce efficiency.

Cleaning and care

Before pouring from your teakettle, remove it from the burner and ensure the handle is in the upright position.

Le Creuset proudly uses heat-resistant plastic on our handles and whistles.

Never place in the dishwasher. To clean, simply hand-wash the kettle with hot, soapy water and dry thoroughly. A gentle kettle de-scaler may be used periodically if required.

Description

Styled after the iconic Classic Whistling, the stainless steel Classic Whistling is a striking blend of traditional design and modern sensibilities.

Linda TVerified Purchase Rusting after five months Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2017 If I could give it a zero, I would. Five months in, it’s rusting out. Warranty requires getting RA, packing it, paying to ship it, and waiting 4-6 weeks for another one, color not guaranteed. I don’t want another one. I want my money back. Never again, LeCreuset. 47 people found this helpful Helpful

See more The stainless steel version is the only one of this particular model that will not rust. Enamel is beautiful but it needs iron to bond with and iron will rust. The stainless kettle is the same material inside and out and will not rust. Also they must have changed the whistle. I read in other reviews that the kettle spills when pouring because the whistle is attached to the spout with a plastic ring seen in some of the images. This model is lacking that ring and pours like a champion. No spilling, no rust, I just wish the whistle was a little louder. 9 people found this helpful Helpful

I have a gas stove with large burners, so I do not put it on high but medium to heat so the flames do not reach around from the bottom and go up the sides. This is an important instruction, because my tendency in the past was full blast heat. But the kettle heats quickly, and I only put in the amount of water I need for my tea so water does not sit in the kettle all the time. Again, read the directions! You will love it. 2 people found this helpful Helpful

See more I should have taken all these negative reviews at heart (almost 10% of reviews are 1-star!). I thought there''s no way the pouring could really be that bad on this kettle. I was very wrong - it literally launches hot water all over the place unless you wait for several minutes fallowing the water to cool down after boiling (that''s dumb) and fill with only a small amount of water (like 2 - 3 cups worth... far from the stated 1.7Qt capacity). I had given this as a gift to my partner and now am so embarrassed by how bad the spout design is for pouring. I tried to love it but it''s just plain dangerous. Helpful

After one week of careful use I noticed black flecks in the bottom of my tea cup. I emptied the pot and noticed the coating had chipped off the inside in 4 places! Since it is past 30 days I cannot return it. I guess $70 isn''t worth much anymore. 6 people found this helpful Helpful
