Viking 3-Ply Stainless Steel Tea Kettle, 2.6 Quart, Whistling Hot Water Tea Pot for Stovetop, Tempered Glass Lid and Ergonomic Handle, Induction Ready, Red

Enjoy a nice hot cup of tea and add timeless elegance to any cooktop surface with the Viking Stainless Steel Tea Kettle! Crafted with durable long-lasting stainless steel, our water boiler tea pot features a thick aluminum core embedded in the stainless steel base which heats evenly and allows water to reach the boiling point faster than traditional tea pots, and is compatible with all cooktop surfaces, including gas, electric, and induction. The non-reactive stainless steel interior eliminates the transfer of metallic taste to your water from the kettle so that you can enjoy the full-bodied flavor of your coffee, tea, instant soups and more. This versatile kitchen kettle features a melodic whistle which alerts you when your water has come to a boil, and the tempered glass lid allows you to see the progress of the water as it comes to a boil so that you can enjoy your beverage at the perfect temperature. The levered one-touch spout features a heat protective silicone cover, and can be easily opened and closed with a thumb or single finger. Our sleek contemporary tea kettle features a cast stainless steel handle which is riveted onto the pot to provide a comfortable grip while pouring, is strategically placed to keep your fingers away from steam as you lift the kettle off the stove top, and features a heat break to reduce heat transfer to the handle. Our stainless steel tea pot makes for a visually striking addition to your home kitchenware! **Depending on how much water is in the kettle and how long it’s been boiling, heat may transfer to the handle, especially with gas stoves.  Please be sure the lid is tightly seated in place before heating.  Gas stoves heat more of the kettle itself, allowing the heat to travel through the body of the kettle into the handle much quicker, eventually becoming too warm to grip without protection. We always recommend using a hot pad or other protection when lifting a hot kettle until you know how it responds on your particular stovetop.**
