I have a set of copper Old Dutch mixing bowls and they are high quality, so I was expecting the best from this purchase. The item is ok, it is certainly nice to look at, if all you want is a decorative item. However, if you plan on actually using it, be careful because it will ding very easily, the metal is exceptionally thin, and the whistle is barely audible unless your standing in the kitchen. Again, a very pretty item, but better left for decoration. 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Old Dutch 3 Quart Decor Copper Windsor Whistling Teakettle (Kitchen) Kettle is very good and good looking. It is not solid copper as stated but is copper clad stainless steel. It does not heat as rapidly as solid copper but is surely more durable. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: By Jams (Belize) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This really is a beautiful kettle. I am not disappointed with how it looks. I seem to have a different problem to the other review that I read. The handle bends and the water heats really really fast. The wooden handle did not get hot, just don't touch it anywhere else. However my kettle is not whistling. There are no instructions on the point so I assume there isn't anything that I have to do to make it whistle. I live outside of the U.S. so it would be a pain to return it. If I were in the U.S. I would return it for another just like it because it really does look good. |
