What is so Great About a Whistling Kettle?

How many times have you walked in the door put all your stuff down, headed for the kitchen, so you could start the kettle to make tea? Your feet are tired, your brain is spent, something hot to drink is just what you need. Now if you could get the water boiling quick enough, you can put everything you brought in away, put on some comfy clothes and sit down to a cup of hot tea.

Sounds great doesn't it? If only everything you wanted was that simple, as easy as putting a whistling kettle or plugging  water to boil. It can be this simple.

It starts with a whistling kettle, something so easy. My family used to own a whistling kettle as a child. I do remember that kettle going off, but my mom used to make us hot chocolate with the hot water, not hot tea. Maybe she kept that for herself. Now as an adult I've kept with the tradition and use a whistling kettle.

What to Look For When Buying a Whistling Kettle

  • Handle size – does it fit your hand, look for a stay cool handle
  • Spout width – its easier to fill and pour with a wider mouth
  • Finish – stainless or enameled
  • Sturdy Bottom – look for 18/10 stainless steel Copper sandwich bottom for superior heating
  • Size – Size should fit your tea drinking needs
  • Aluminum Free

After you've purchased your whistling kettle you will want to wash it thoroughly with warm soapy water. After make sure you dry with a soft dishtowel. Stainless has a tendency to get water spots and stainless looks so pretty on the stove.
