With its smooth lines and modern appeal, this stovetop teakettle quickly boils up to 1-1/2 quarts of water--perfect for making tea when visiting with a friend or curling up on the couch with a book. Measuring approximately 7 by 9 by 10 inches, the unit's generously sized, wide, flat base allows for greater contact with a heating element for fast results, and its fixed whistle on the pour spout communicates with a high-pitched tone when the water has reached its boiling point. A thumb press flips open the pour-spout lid for graceful serving.

As part of Le Creuset's Enamel-on-Steel collection, the superiorly crafted kettle features heavy-gauge steel construction for fast heating and even heat distribution, along with a hard, glossy enamel glaze for both durability and eye-catching beauty on the stovetop. The kettle's heat-resistant, "floating" handle ensures a secure grip, allows for easy lifting and pouring, and keeps hands a safe distance from the steam. To refill the kettle, simply remove its round-shaped lid by pulling up on the stay-cool lid knob. A wonderful housewarming, wedding, or Mother's Day gift, the kettle can be safely used on all heat sources, including induction, and should be hand washed only with hot soapy water and dried thoroughly.
