All-CladSpecialty Stainless Steel Tea Kettle 2 Quart Induction Pots and Pans, Cookware Silver

I bought one of these a few years back at TJ Maxx. Back then All-Clad was still made in the US. It had a brilliant whistle that I could hear in the next room. I bought this one on Amazon because I couldn't find it at the Williams Sonoma store and I love it so much I wanted a back up. Seriously, I went through multiple kettles in less than 12 months before I found this All-Clad back in the Spring of 2017. As soon as I saw it sitting on the display I knew it was the one kettle I could own that would actually last. And it has.But this one, as beautiful as it is, and it heats water just as well, it does not whistle. The steam flows all around the spout and yes, it does rise up through the whistle, but alas, no whistle sound.I don't want to send it back because it's so beautiful. It's all shiny stainless steel and very strong looking. But I really do want it to work. And I'm disturbed to read one review that shows photos of the interior of the bottom peeling. I've never heard of such a thing. I've given 5 stars hoping the replacement will not have any problems and because from the looks of it, it is well made. I'll update the review when the replacement arrives. In the meantime, I can say don't hesitate to buy it but keep all the packaging and the boxes. I'm glad I did even though my first thought was that there weren't going to be any problems. Fingers crossed the replacement will be perfect.Update: Amazon had an amazing return on this. I clicked on 'replacement' and it was on it's way and delivered in two days right to my door about 15 minutes ago. It's whistling like it should. Fingers crossed it lasts a very long time.

Very solid feel. Whistles loudly when ready. Looks very nice also. Yes, the handle gets hot, but that is what hot pads are for. I am happy with this purchase.UPDATE: I recant my statement about the handle getting hot. If I pull it off the stove shortly after it starts whistling, the handle is not hot at all. I like this tea pot a lot.

I've waited several weeks to write this review because I've had several of the problems that others have expressed. I hope that this will help others decide based upon three things that have been reported as issues.First the size. Yes it is a large kettle but it is a two quart kettle and this is how large they are! I would like to have one that is about 1.5 quart or about 2/3 the size of this but as far as I know, this is the only size they offer and the kettle is absolutely beautiful!!!Second, my kettle did not whistle when I first used it on my gas range. This was disappointing but there was so much steam coming out of the spout that it was obvious that the water was boiling.Third, the handle got so hot that it would burn you if you touched it after the water started to boil! It did not matter how small of a burner I used on my gas range! I used a two inch simmering burner that makes about a 4 inch dia. flame and the handle still got hot enough to burn. It also took forever to boil water on that burner. I later switched to a three inch dia. burner with a 5.5 inch dia. flame and the water boiled in about 15 min. (1.2 quarts)After reading other reviews I decided to try something that I did not see mentioned in the other reviews. I purchased and induction cooktop. The one I bought was the Nuwave2 (As seen on TV) I really didn't want to buy that one because everything I ever purchased that was from an infomercial has been worthless! I finally got it at a local store because that way I could return it if it broke after a couple of weeks. I also purchased a one year warrantee for it that allows me to replace it, no questions asked! Here is what happen:The cooktop works great but what is really fantastic is that the 1.2 qts. of ice cold water boiled in 7 min. 40 sec. and the handle was cool !!! (No potholder needed !!! ) It also whistles now !! I guess the convection currents from my gas range kept it from doing so before. Strange...So the bottom line is that the kettle is great and the induction cooktop is a perfect match. I guess that any induction cooktop would provide the same results but the Nuwave also includes a pan that is of much better quality than I expected. It also has digital temp control but I haven't tried it on anything except max yet so I don't know how well that works. There are cheaper ones than the Nuwave but it was the only one that was locally available for purchase in a store so I got it at a higher price than Amazon offers. I view the extra cost as an acceptable premium for the ease of return option.I hope this helps.

Beautiful finish, very sturdy and solid. Whistle is very high pitch. Have already boiled a pot of water and very pleased when the handle didn't get hot. Poured as expected. I think it was a good value, you get what you pay for.

I did a ton of research when I needed a new tea kettle for my home. I initially decided that a LeCreuset kettle might be a strong contender, but in chatting to an associate at LeCreuset, I learned that crazing was not considered a replaceable defect. I have 35 pieces of LeCreuset so I am well aware of the quality of their products and most of mine are in perfect condition after 20 years of use. But, unfortunately, I have a large stockpot that has interior crazing at the bottom. It is enamel over steel. LeCreuset will not replace it. I mean, what could you expect with a stock pot....it gets high heat and should be a warranted condition. So, this made me consider other options and the All-Clad solid stainless steel kettle was what I purchased.The kettle is beautiful. The whistle is not that loud, so, if you are considering this kettle, make sure you are not too far away when you are boiling water. It boils water fast. The handle does not get super hot, although the lid does. I much prefer an all stainless kettle rather than one with any plastic on it. So, the slight warmth of the handle is completely acceptable.I've only had this kettle for a week but I love it so far. I use filtered water for the kettle, so I don't think it will get any sort of chemical buildup as long as I keep using this filtered water. Hopefully, it will last many years, like all of my All-Clad skillets and pans. Note: LeCreuset does make a stainless steel kettle, but it was much more expensive and had points of plastic on the handle and whistle.
