Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid Gourmet Essentials 2-Quart Tea Kettle, Stainless Steel
Customer Review: No whistlin' here
Summary: 1 Stars
Such a beautiful tea kettle, but the first issue was the sticky tape they used to tape on the lid. It left a thick residue on both sides of the lid and pot. I put peanut butter on the residue and let it sit for a couple days and was finally able to wipe off the residue and try my tea kettle.
Unfortunately, I was disappointed because my tea kettle did not whistle. The seal isn't tight enough, so steam dribbled out the spout onto my ceramic top. I'm sorry that I will have to return it; I need the whistle since I don't stand over the stove waiting for the water to boil.
Customer Review: Buned hand reviewer

I bought this kettle in November and have been sorry ever since. It is lovely to look at but the handle heats up so that it is dangerous to pick up when you have heated the water. When I pour the water, it is inclined to splash in all directions. If you look inside the spout, you can see a smaller ring of metal that must have been someone's brainchild, but it was a bad idea. The plastic on the handle is the only part that does not heat up and you can see by the picture that it is impossible to avoid touching the metal sides of the handle. I am now looking for a new kettle. I am sadder but wiser.Customer Review: A nice functional tea kettle

There is not a whole lot that can be said for this kettle, it boils water and it whistles. Nothing speacial. I got it this past Christmas (06) and to date (Jan 16 - 07) it's still whistling!
It looks great with the brushed stainless look, it is relatively heavy gauge steel, depending on how large your gas flame is the handle don't get too hot, and I am basically very happy with it - plus it is very affordable and worth the price and more. It is 18/10 gauge stainless steel. I cannot find a country of manufacture on the kettle and the box is long gone so I am not sure where it is made.
Customer Review: This is a very good product.

The KitchenAid 2-quart stainless tea kettle is very fine. It has a good whistle, the handle reqires no potholder, & it is good-looking. The lid fits very firmly so that there is no worry about it coming off while pouring the hot liquid. The spout cover design works perfectly so that you never have to worry about losing the cover, and the 2 quart capacity is perfect for making a large pot of tea. I owned a Calphalon teakettle for many years and I loved it, but it is no longer available. I am very satisfied with my new KitchenAid stainless tea kettle.Customer Review: Kettle performs perfectly!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have no idea what some other reviewers are complaining about. The handle does not get hot when I use high heat on my gas stove. It does not leak steam from lid at high heat. It does not dribble when I pour boiling water into mug. It is easy to fill either using spout or taking off lid. I am only writing this review to offset the other reviews which are unfairly negative. Well. you can't please everyone. The terra cotta color is beautiful, the kettle is very well made, and it performs as a tea kettle is expected to perform. I really like it.
