Le Creuset products are long wearing and efficiently heat water to boiling so that you can enjoy your tea or other hot beverages as quick as possible.

Kettles are made of long wearing stainless steel and then coated with a colored porcelain enamel. This coating provides a protective surface that will not allow the piece to rust. Some models have locking handles that make it much easier to pour and some have whistles to let you know when the water comes to a boil. All models are safe to use on any stove including an induction cook tops.

The instructions for using the kettle are easy to understand and the same for all models. Never fill with water above the spout line because you can get easily burned from escaping hot water. Be sure to never simmer continuously until the kettle is out of water. This could cause serious damage to the kettle. Because mineral deposits gather it is a good idea to empty the kettle every time you use it. That way there will be no build up to cause it to not be as efficient. If you drop the kettle on a hard tile floor it can be chipped. It is suggested that most kettles are washed by hand with mild dish soap and never use abrasive cleanser or steel wool pads because the porcelain enamel can scratch. Just use a sponge or nylon pad and some elbow grease to get a stain off.

Le Creuset products are available in all different fun colors and they run anywhere from $65 to $100. This may seem like a hefty price but they are not only stylish but they will last for years with the correct care.

One model alerts you to the fact the water is boiling by emitting a loud whistle. Even though the water is hot and steam may rise from the pot the knob to open it and whistle stays cool so you will not be burned. The handle allows the kettle to be easily poured by anyone and the water will not drip from the spout. Colors are bright and stylish and the kettle will hold nearly 2 quarts of water.

The model called Zen is just a bit smaller. It also has the spout that will not drip and the knob and whistle that will not burn if you touch it. It comes in different colors as well. The enamel finish will resist any odor retention or stains. This one can be washed in a dishwasher. It also has a very wide opening so that it is easy to clean.

It is advisable to wash a kettle before it is used the first time. Proper maintenance of any Le Creuset product will allow it to continue to be effective and useful year after year. The shiny colorful finish will allow it to look very fashionable in your kitchen as well. - 33383
