My mother paid a bit more for my new kettle last Xmas. I would have bought
it myself if she hadn't grasped her credit card quicker than me.
The reasons :
- the end of my last cheap kettle : there was a hole in the bottom. So I
decided I'd gave up cheap boiling.
-the burnt by steam while I was trying to refill the big tetsubin I used
briefly as a kettle. After that accident, I decided I'd refill kettles by
the spout.
-Mum said that was good quality. I think I can trust a woman that got
married 40 years ago and still uses
all the cooking/table ware she had selected as wedding presents.
So I have that :

It looks nicer than on the photo.
I took the steel bottom for induction cooking. But you can get the copper
bottom as you have a classical stove.
So far, it is perfect. And it whistles like a boat, my neighbours think I
have a yatch.
