FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
Can I use this kettle on any stovetop?
This is a stovetop kettle designed for traditional burners. Always check that your stove type is compatible with aluminum cookware before use. It is not designed for induction cooktops, so hold on now and double-check your setup first.
How do I know when the water is boiling?
That is exactly what the whistle is for, honey. Once the water reaches a boil, steam passes through the spout and triggers the whistle. You will hear it clearly from another room, so no more standing over the stove waiting.
Is this kettle safe to use? Does aluminum affect the water?
Aluminum kettles have been used in kitchens for generations. This one is built for everyday stovetop use. If you have specific health concerns about aluminum, that is a fair question to bring up with your doctor, but many households use them without any issue.
How do I clean and care for this kettle?
Hand washing only, dear. Skip the dishwasher to keep the finish and the whistle mechanism in good shape. A gentle scrub with warm soapy water does the trick. For mineral buildup over time, our guide on how to descale a tea kettle walks you through it step by step.
Is the handle safe to hold when the kettle is hot?
Yes, the handle is designed to stay cool while the kettle heats up on the stove, so you can pour safely without burning your hand. That said, always use common sense and check before grabbing it, especially on high heat.

How can I track my order?
As soon as your order ships, you receive an email with your tracking number and a link to follow the delivery in real time.
Which teapot do you recommend for a beginner?
For beginners we often recommend a ceramic or glass teapot: easy to use, easy to clean, and they suit every kind of tea while you find your favorites.
How do I choose the right teapot size?
It depends on your habits. For one person, 10 to 17 oz is ideal. For a couple, aim for 20 to 34 oz, and for families or hosting, 34 oz and up.
Can I use the same teapot for different teas?
You can, but we recommend dedicated teapots for strong teas: unglazed clay and cast iron keep a memory of the tea. Glass, porcelain and stainless steel stay neutral between teas.
