Amazon.com Review
With styling so classic it would warm a British mum's heart, this 2-quart kettle quickly delivers boiling water for tea, coffee, hot chocolate, instant soup, or any of the other myriad uses boiling water has in a kitchen. "Quickly" is key, because this kettle's heavyweight aluminum construction conducts heat in a hurry. Anodized for hardness and durability, the 9-inch-high, matte-finish kettle should last a lifetime. Its plastic handle and the knob on its lid stay cool on the stovetop. --Fred Brack

Comment: I have a ceramic cooktop and this teakettle heats the water about 5 times faster than the kettle I had before.
Customer Rating: 4 Star
Summary: A good, solid kettle 2002-02-26
Comment: I got one of these as a gift a couple of years ago and it's great: holds a lot of water, heats quickly. The rivet that secures the lid handle has rusted, but it doesn't seem at all inclined to crumble and break.

My only complaint--this is so trivial!--is that the texture of Calphalon stuff is reminiscent of blackboard material. Every time I remove or replace the lid, the scraping of metal on metal makes me flinch. The texture freaks me out to a lesser degree on those rare occasions when I have to scrub the kettle. For some reason this only occurs with Calphalon; I don't have this reaction when handling my non-Calphalon anodized cookware. Fellow freaks beware!

Update: I've now had this kettle for about five years, and I noticed when cleaning it the other day that the inside bottom is pocked and has white spots that look like mineral deposits but that don't scrub off. All of the pocks are small in diameter, but one or two are quite deep and may eventually work their way through the thick bottom of the kettle. Water in New York is not known for its hardness and I almost always use filtered (Brita) water in the kettle. I also tend to empty the kettle on every use--I rarely leave water sitting in it. So I'm inclined to think that these holes result from flaws in the metal, combined with heat. The kettle's still plenty strong, but I may be taking advantage of the lifetime warrantee on Calphalon Professional products in a few more years. This is one houseware I'd definitely consider worth repairing rather than replacing.
