I was looking at some of the reviews for the Le Creuset Enameled Steel Whistling Tea Kettle and found it fairly amusing to read some of the complaints people have. My favorite is the ones about the whistle the kettle makes when it boils. If you don’t like the whistle, take the whistle out of the kettle. That’s what I did. I can’t stand listening to that thing whistle. I just listen for the water boiling, or check it every few minutes.
Another complaint I’ve read is about the enamel chipping. I have bumped my teapot against the counter a few times and it has not chipped. I have a feeling people that have chipped their teapots, have really banged it against something. Anyway, if you aren’t familiar with enamel, it does chip if you hit it hard enough. But I have many Le Creuset pieces and not one has a chip. I did see a casserole of my grandma’s that had a chip in it. I think my mom has that pan now, it must be at least 40 years old. To me, that is the beauty of Le Creuset, it lasts a lifetime. I have a Le Creuset French oven that is about 15 years old and there isn’t a chip. I image it will keep going chip-free for many more years.
I think what I like best about my Le Creuset teapot is the way it looks, I like the design, it reminds me of an English kettle. Whether it actually looks like one I don’t know, but it reminds me of one, so that is something I like. I also really like the color. Mine is cherry red.
Here is a snippet from a review on Amazon about the teapot: “This is the second Le Creuset tea kettle I’ve owned, and neither has been a disappointment. My first was the Zen tea kettle. I loved it’s graceful shape. I am enjoying this one no less. In fact, I am surprised at how much satisfaction this little tea kettle has provided. It’s a little work of art. The color and shading are very attractive, it has a pleasing shape, and it’s well made.”
