Customer Review: Black Goo and Funny Smell
Summary: 1 Stars
The design is ok. Nothing fancy, nothing different, it looks just like any other teakettle. It works fine. The handle doesn't get hot, and the whistle isn't too loud. I gave it one star because of the black goo that came inside. I washed it before using it, and after the water was done boiling, I saw little black particles floating in the water and the water smelled weird. The smell may have been caused by that black stuff. I washed the pot again and saw more black stuff coming out. I took one piece and noticed it was gooey. I checked if there was something that had melted when I boiled the water, but I saw the kettle was intact. I boiled more water and again I saw the black goo floating in the water. I have boiled water 7 times and have washed the pot 4 times, and there is still goo floating in the water, they are almost unnoticeable, like very tiny dots, but they are there. At least the funny smell is gone. I don't know what that black goo is or what's causing it or where it's coming from. I'm afraid it may contain dangerous metals or chemicals that can be harmful. If I keep seeing black goo, I'm sending it back. I think I've learned my lesson. When it comes to buying cookware, it's better to buy good quality. It's not worth jeopardizing your health to save a few bucks.
Update: After washing it two more times and boiling water one more time I got rid of the goo. And I've noticed that the handle gets very hot when I fill it all the way up.

Description of Farberware Classic Sonoma 2-Quart Whistling Stainless Steel Teakettle
FW Sonoma Tea Kettle 2 QtThis gleaming teakettle brings 2-quarts of water to a boil under the attractive curve of its dome, which is complemented by the curve of the nearly round handle for an elegant touch. The handle is synthetic (to stay cool) and slightly textured, a combination ensuring safe, comfortable pouring. Because the teakettle is made of highly polished 18/10 stainless steel, the beauty of its gleaming mirror finish is long-lasting. For convenience when filling the kettle or pouring, the spout's cap is spring-loaded, with the trigger opening the cap located inside the handle. The cap contains a whistle that signals when the water boils. --Fred Brack
