When filling the kettle with water, only fill water above the first layer of holes on the interior of the spout (see diagram on box for more information).
For efficient and safe boiling, always use burner a similar in size to the base of the kettle.
Cleaning and care
Do not bang the teakettle down onto a stove’s surface or work surface. Repeated banging may damage the exterior enamel.
Do not place the kettle on the heat source without having water in the kettle. Never leave a teakettle simmering for long periods on any heat source; it may boil dry, which can result in overheating and damage to the base and enamel.
Do not leave water standing in a kettle when it is not in use. A buildup of scale may occur and reduce efficiency.
Before pouring from your teakettle, remove it from the burner and ensure the handle is in the upright position.
Le Creuset proudly uses heat-resistant plastic on our handles and whistles.
Never place in the dishwasher.To clean, simply hand-wash the kettle with hot, soapy water and dry thoroughly. A gentle kettle de-scaler may be used periodically if required.
Slow down and savor the serenity of the Zen tea kettle during a busy day. Shaped like an inverted bowl, the low, broad-based kettle features a gracefully arched Asian-style handle that locks in an upright position, or releases for compact storage. A round heat-resistant knob adorns the lid. Flip back the spout cover to stop the whistling and pour. The Zen holds approximately 50 ounces of water, more than enough to brew four cups of tea.
Le Creuset makes the Zen kettle of enameled steel in a choice of many bright, modern colors to match any kitchen. A stainless steel band on the lid and around the rim opening helps prevent chipping. Best of all, the tea kettle is suitable for any type of stovetop burner, so you can give one as a gift without having to know your recipient’s stove type. Clean by hand or in the dishwasher when necessary. –Ann Bieri

I am so happy to have found this design of kettle with a … I have been using Le Creuset for years. I have all their pots, pans and over dishes. We recently got a new over and the gas burners are much stronger and larger now. My previous tea kettle had a problem with my new over because the flames would be so wide that they burnt and melted the stopper on the spout. I am so happy to have found this design of kettle with a vey wide base. No longer do I have to keep replacement the plastic stoppers because the kettle covers the whole size of the…
Love it! Gorgeous color, lovely shape. It was a little smaller than I expected – but has a nice, wide bottom so water boils very quickly. Mine does not drip like others have mentioned.UPDATE: I think people are having trouble with dripping because they are pouring out the water while it is still boiling. Any kettle will spit boiling hot water while the water is still boiling.
Not built to withstand much heat! When you pay top dollar for Le Creuset, the expectation is that it will last you for decades, if not a lifetime. Not so in this case. I went through two in less than a year. The trouble is, you have to remember to manually put the whistle down on the spout. If you forget, the water may boil away and leave you with an irreparably blackened kettle smelling of burnt plastic. The second time this happened to me (it was a house guest’s error), the red finish buckled and flaked off. Oh, and the…
