There are a lot of benefits to using a teakettle to heat your beverage. First, using an enamel on steel teakettle will allow you to control the temperature of your water (vs the microwave oven). For expert tea drinkers this is very import because the flavor of the tea is affected. Serving from a teakettle for either yourself or guests gives a nice presentation while keeping your remaining water warm. This medium teakettle can heat any beverage you like; such as water, tea, cider, as well as others. The fold down handle allows for easy and quick filling or cleaning. The harmonic hum will alert you when your water is boiling (level of water will determine how fast water will heat up). You can use this on any kind of stovetop. Please read full directions before use.

They suggested that the I contact the manufacturer directly. Here’s the…
Melted tea pot after first month of use This tea pot was everything I wanted it to be, the right, size, price, color everything. It came quickly after I ordered it, it looked to be everything the seller claimed but after it melted on my stove I’m not so sure what it was made from. The picture shows the top melted but the bottom of the tea pot also melted on my burner. This was using medium heat for 10 minutes. I only had this tea pot for about 3 weeks at this point.
No whistle; bad for forgetful people Please note that I do not believe that what happened to this pot is the fault of the manufacturer or the seller, I just write this as a warning for those who tend to be forgetful.I bought this pot for my mother and she loved it. It worked well and looked beautiful enough to keep on the stove as decoration. However, I assumed that the pot would whistle. Most tea kettles do; I thought that was the whole point of having a tea kettle, for the whistle to tell you when it’s done, otherwise you…
