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.

Back to the review… I’m of the philosophy that you buy products that are designed to last rather than focusing on price. Although, price does play a factor. Sure, you’ll spend a little more on this teapot, but you likely won’t have to replace it for years–if ever.
Does its job well Other than its good looks, the design of the handle rates high with me. The slide that uncovers the spout is positioned where your thumb will be. This means that you can pour without changing your grip on the handle–just extend your thumb against the slide and it opens. One other benefit is that the handle it well removed from the pour so there is less likelihood that steam or hot water will reach your hand. As for all enameled cookware, it is possible to chip the finish. This has not yet…
