Product Description:
Traditional styling combined with the 21st century technology. Le Creuset Teakettles are available in five innovative designs offering a charming touch to any stovetop. Our unique, locking handles and phenolic knobs make lifting, pouring and cleaning easy.About Le Creuset...Since 1925, artisans have been crafting Le Creuset cookware in the French village of Fresnoy Le Grand. Each piece of Le Creuset cast iron cookware is handcast, polished, double enamel-coated and then fired, resulting in some of the finest quality cookware available. Cast iron is one of the best materials for distributing heat gently and thoroughly and is ideal for induction ranges. The strong enamel coating will not absorb odors or flavors, and is easy to clean. Heavy lids securely seal in moisture and flavor. Le Creuset cookware comes in a variety of sizes, colors and styles to match any kitchen and cooking preference. So lasting, you'll pass it on to the next generation of promising cooks.

Amazon.com Review:
You won't let the water run dry when you hear the whistle of this tea kettle. Le Creuset constructs the traditional shape out of lightweight, sturdy steel and coats it with tough enamel. A shiny stainless-steel rim helps protect the edge from chipping and facilitates the lid positioning. The high handle can be locked in an upright position to keep your hand away from the heat, and a lever on the whistling device flips the spout open for pouring. Low and broad, the base allows maximum surface contact for faster boiling. Choose from many bright, modern colors to match or harmonize with your kitchen and other Le Creuset cookware. --Ann Bieri

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sturdy, Generous-Sized and Handsome
This kettle is as good as every other Le Creuset product I've ever owned.It is handsome with a simple design and a slightly ombred beige-to-ivory enamel exterior.The kettle itself is large so you can fill it with enough water to make a big pot of tea or a full container of coffee (I use it to boil water for a Chemex coffee maker) without it sputtering and boiling over.The handle doesn't get too hot to touch and the whistle gets your attention without giving you a headache.In other words, ...

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - No spill-free pour with this LeCreuset
Product shipped promptly and arrived in good condition.Teapot looks nice on the stove..... unfortunately I can't seem to get a spill-free pour from it after it has boiled.You have to be careful not to fill too much water before heating or it will build up pressure and spurt hot water while you pour...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Le Creuset Whistling Tea Kettle
I read a couple of reviews after I bought this. I never burned myself removing the removable spout, however. I took the kettle off the heat first, as soon as it whistled and then took off the spout. Nice shape. Nice handle that can be turned.Good size. But remove the lid so it can dry quickly inside. Just leaving the top ajar does not dry it quickly enough and it is better not to keep it damp inside. I really like this kettle.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - le creuset teapot in dijon
Love the color.Looks nice on the stove.So far seems to be working well.Some concerns about the reviews I've read re. rusting inside.It's not realistic to leave it empty on the stove...would be concerned about scorching if the burner was accidentally left on.In any case, at this point I am very happy w/the product.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Does not whistle
Pretty? Yes.No sharp edges? Yes.Whistle?No!!!The stopper part with the whistle does not seat firmly on the spout.The lid has a notched part that I guess allows steam to escape. I think the combination of no pressure from leaky stopper and lid means NO WHISTLE.Returning this gift as completely useless. First Le Creuset purchase too.Our old Kamenstein/cow kettle worked great until the hard water ate away part of the interior(our fault).
