Review: Nice teapot, design classic. And functional, you can fill it up with water just to the top and it will boil and not spill over and can still be poured. Better than lecruset , where you have to fill the kettle about one third/ half empty or it will spill over .This can also be used to heat baked beans and soup and little things like that. Really cute.I use it on a portable induction hob as I don’t have a cooker and so no issues with size fitting or using trivets for the base to fit, as some reviewers have experienced.Nb. It also looks like a cast iron teapot handbag when you carry it with the handles, good for fancy dress.

Review: Stuck w/a very small but ‘active’ kitchen, so I need 1 item that can multi-task rather than a slew of pots OR any single-task electric appliance.I use this to make 2qts of iced ‘sweet tea’ concentrate daily: 2cups water hits the bottom of the spout, takes 8 mins to come to near boil -> add sweetener, fresh mint + 8 teabags… doesn’t matter how long it ‘steeps’. Later I add the strained concentrate to a 2qt pitcher half-filled w/cold water & top off w/water I used to rinse the pot.Boil water for French Press coffee, then heat milk for cafe au lait in same pot. Great for sauces + small amt of soup.Very easy-to-clean design/glazed iron: wipe w/baking soda & dry the rough, un-glazed iron rim – never had a rust problem.

Review: Basically well made but with some serious flaws. The handles are not secure – be very careful of them coming off while pouring boiling water. There is no way to keep the handles from getting burning hot, so again, be careful as you have to use an oven mitt or similar to take it off of an open gas flame. Very heavy, takes a long time to boil water. Very, very overpriced.

Review: I bought this only for the claim (by many on the web) that it was the least “toxic” teakettle (in terms of leaching heavy metals, etc into the water) available besides glass, which I avoided due to its breakablity. Since I cannot accurately evaluate its non toxic properties, my review is strictly on usability, as compared to a standard stainless kettle. I could have given it a 2 rating, because it is ridiculously small, the handles get hot, and the heating surface is 3.75″ in diameter,it is top heavy ( there must be a functional reasoner this, I hope…can anyone enlighten me here?) and the lid does not stay on tightly, but since we are heading back into the 50’s with this new president, and it is apparently non toxic, I am going to buck up and use it. Our grandmothers used potholders; so can I.The thick instruction book that comes with it (95% useless unless you are multilingual and enjoy reading the same thing over and over again) recommends choosing “a heat source that matches the dimensions of the base of the product”…..does any stove have 3.75” burners? Anyway, it heated up on my gas stove, but not nearly as fast as the stainless steel kettle…again, people were not used toimmediate gratification in all things in the 50’s , so I will see if I can get used to it. Yes the handles get hot, so you will need potholders when doing anything with this kettle, including putting more water in it, which you will need to, unless its just you, needing only 2 cups of hot water. Yes it is kind of cool looking, but I am not Martha Stewart out to impress people at dinner parties. All of these problems I fully expected because of previous reviews…again I bought it for its supposed “non toxic”properties…..sure hope thats true, or else i will be putting up with all of these things for nothing.After a week of use: If you fill this kettle to the tippy top with water (because its capacity is small), you need to be very careful while carrying, because boiling hot water will easily spill out due to the loose fitting lid and horizontal spout.

Review: I would give this 5 stars if it were a little larger, if the handle could be touched when using, and if it whistled. It seems very well made and has a substantial feel. The problem with the handle being hot is the worst for me. For my husband, it is the lack of whistling. The pot looks great and I think it is going to last forever.
