Default My tea kettle just died

Just a side comment Jim, don't let a non-stick pan boil down or it can give
off some pretty toxic fumes. Best of luck looking for a kettle...I had a Le
creuset but it sputtered very badly when I'd go to pour. They're expensive
but not practical for me. I went to electric and have been satisfied so far.
