The stainless steel classic whistling kettle adds a touch of contemporary style to the stovetop with its lustrous polished finish and timeless silhouette, and makes an excellent gift. Useful for preparing French press coffee, oatmeal and much more in addition to tea, the generous base size heats water rapidly and a fixed single-tone whistle alerts when the water has reached a rolling boil. Durable stainless steel is non-reactive, resistant to stains, easy to clean, and compatible with induction cooktops.
