Barebones Enamel Teapot - Vintage Inspired Design - Baked Stainless Steel Rim - FSC Certified Natural Walnut Handle Tea Kettle - 1.5 Liters, 6 Cups (Slate Gray)

Nice quality non toxic yay!

A very cute tea kettle. I use it for my cup of tea in the morning, and it holds enough water for a large mug plus a bit more. I would suggest getting something larger if you're boiling water for multiple people at once, but it is perfect for just me. It does not whistle, but I'm still able to hear the water bubbling, so I can tell when it is boiling. It does not look charred on the bottom despite being used daily. It is also easy to remove the lid and clean. It does require two hands (at least for me) to pour, since the lid is not tight/needs to be held down. Otherwise, it pours well and does not dribble/leak. The steam mainly comes out of the spout (rather than around the lid) when I tip the kettle to pour out water, so my hands aren't in danger of getting burned. Overall, a good, basic kettle for someone who isn't looking for any frills/just wants to make a good cup of tea.

I used my daughter-in-law's kettle while visiting. The handle caught on fire as it is made of wood and she has a gas stove. I felt super bad as it's a cute kettle but also realized over time the handle did not stay straight up (which is the safe position when using) but flipped down near the heat source. I purchased a new kettle against my best judgement (the same one as my daughter-in-law loved the style and color of the kettle) and would you know the second kettle caught on fire too when used a month later by someone else?

Size is quite small but good for if just want to make a couple cups at a time. I actually liked it at first, but then the handle fell while I was boiling water and caught on fire. Luckily we were in the kitchen at the time to quickly tend to it or could have been alot worse. Wouldn't recommend just based on safety reasons.

Due to the spout position, on electric or induction ranges it's best to bring to a boil with the lid off and the handle down. Turn off the heat source, replace lid then put the handle up to move. On open flame source it may be necessary to fill at or below the spout opening to prevent spillage as you will need the lid on and the handle up unless precise flame control is available.

The media could not be loaded. I was in love with this tea kettle when I first got it. I really liked the appearance and it seemed like it was good quality. After about 3 months of use, some of the paint in the inside of the kettle started to lift and flake off. This continually got worse as I continued to use it.I’ve owned this kettle for about a year now and boiled water with it about 150+ times. Not super frequent use, but regular enough. The paint flaking has gotten to the point where I don’t want to use this anymore which is a shame because I really like the way it looks in our kitchen. I would set my electric stove on full power and always make sure there was water in the kettle before I started heating it up. I also used almost exclusively distilled water.So, this is pretty, but not something for the long term.

I love this product! It’s adorable and does the job. Just be careful of the handle. It tends to fall from an upright position and can burn if not watching it. My daughter did this the first week I got it!

The wooden handle is easy to pick up on the stove and I like the wide opening to pour water in. Lovely design.
