GIPFEL International Whistling Tea Kettle, Food Grade Stainless Steel Teapot for Hob with Ergonomic Handle for Gas Induction Electric Hob 2.3L

Great quality (design and build). Kettle lid can be removed after boil unlike le creseut kettle we returned. Easy to clean. Works great on hot plate and induction. Also light and easy/comfortable to pour. Have owned other kettles that are heavy and/or unbalanced making pour difficult. Can't fault it.

A lovely kettle. As with all polished metal, one has to keep on top of keeping it clean. The handle really does become very hot so a mitt or tea towel is necessary to avoid a sudden dropping of it because of a burnt hand. Perhaps a nice sturdy wooden handle would have been a good idea.

It is supposed to have a "cool handle". I have had to buy a pot holder as the handle gets Very Hot. They did not mention that the handle can move which I found very odd. Cannot understand why it was designed like that. It is definitely below the quality I had expected considering the price I paid.

My wife and I are getting rid of the “coated” cookware products. We don’t trust any of it. We bought this kettle because it looked solid and not coated. It has turned out to be the best tea kettle we have bought. It heated a full kettle faster than any kettle we ever used. The kettle is easy to handle and pour, but when they said the handle gets hot, they ain’t kidding about that. It comes with a hot pad. I read the reviews about people bitching about the whistle about it being weak. The whistle works fine. It’s not freight train or wake the baby loud if that’s what they meant. So far, we’re quite please with the style and quality. Seriously though, the handle will light your ass up. Guess how I know?

This is such a good kettle. We bought it after the plastic component on our last one melted when someone left it on the stove too long. All metal components - sturdy build - nice whistle - good capacity - would highly recommend!

I have ONLY used this tea kettle on a "ChangBert" induction burner. And it works perfectly!!! The handle does not get hot because the induction heats only the base. The whistle is high pitched, easy to hear and does not waste steam when it begins to whistle. The handle is high quality, sturdy and only folds down one direction for filling the tea pot. I do not know how it would perform on other types of cooktops, but I would highly recommend this for anyone that uses an induction stovetop. Only the base is magnetic. It's well worth the money and far exceeds my expectations. 5 stars all the way!!!!

Have been using this kettle for a couple of weeks now. Appears very well made, from polished 18/10 (grade 316) stainless steel. It is actually quite lightweight compared to the rather rusty Le Creuset kettle it replaces, but has a solid base and does not appear in any way flimsy; it is well engineered, and nicely fabricated. Works well on our induction stove. Handle stays very cool. Some reviewers commented on the whistle being quiet, but this was not our experience. Whistle starts out at a reasonable level, as you would want, but becomes ear piercing if you do not attend to it... as it should :-) Our only issue is that it is hard to see where the water level is, as the interior is also highly polished stainless and the water surface does not show up very clearly... but that is not a complaint, just an observation. International shipping to Australia was reasonably fast - around 7-10 days. Very happy.

Kettle performs as described - whistle is loud enough without being annoying. Water heats within good time frame and handle does not get too hot to touch (using gas top stove).
