Product Description
51471 Features: -Capacity: 2 Quarts. -Enamel on Steel finish in Red. -Traditional Style. About Paula Deen Paula Deen's culinary career began in June 1989 out of her kitchen with the Bag Lady, a home-based lunch delivery service in Savannah. The bag lady was extremely successful and soon outgrew her kitchen. On January 8th, 1996 she opened her own restaurant, The Lady & Sons, in downtown Savannah. In 1999, USA today named the Lady & Son's the ''International Meal of the Year''. In 1997, Deen published her first cook book, The Lady & Sons Savannah Country Cookbook. As luck would have it, a major publishing company house picked it up when one of their literary agents walked into the restaurant to escape a rainstorm. Shortly after that, Deen's cookware was appearing on QVC. In the next few years Paula published many more cookbooks. ''Paula's Home Cooking'' premiered on the TV Food Network on November 16th, 2002. The program features Deen doing what she does best-being herself, teaching people how to bring joy into their kitchens and homes. With Deen it is about teaching viewers to bring out the best in their families and creating happy memories no matter what the budget is. In Fall 2006 Deen launched her second program, ''Paula's Party'', on the Food Network. She invites guests to participate in her cooking classes. Viewers get an inside look at what makes Deen so special- her clever wit, her jovial laugh and shear genius at making people feel good.
Comment: I'm in the market for a new teakettle to replace my Paula Deen. I loved the style and color of the red kettle but was disappointed to have the red paint chipping off so quickly, within a few weeks of purchase. After a year of more paint lose and a loosening handle I also found the inside had rust rings forming. Needless to say, that kettle went out in the trash. Until I read the reviews on Amazon I thought mine was an isolated case of a poorly made teakettle. Apparently not, since others have mentioned very similar conditions. Now it's back to reading reviews and searching for the perfect kettle to sit on my stove.

Comment: For over a year, I had been looking for a new teakettle. My two previous kettles, a square, modern-looking kettle from the maker, Bodum, and a glass, whistling kettle either didn't look right in my old kitchen or aggravated me (the high-pitched whistling of the glass kettle). The color of this Paula Deen kettle attracted me when I initially saw it in a J. C. Penney catalog but the price listed there seemed quite high and I decided I would make do with my old kettles. I happened to be on-line one afternoon and thought to check Amazon.com for Paula's kettle. The price listed on Amazon.com was much lower than Penney's and I received free shipping, too! I love the deep, rich, red color of the kettle and it seems well-crafted. I am enjoying my new purchase at teatime. I'm glad that I checked Amazon.com and compared prices before buying. I'm very satisfied with this kettle.

Summary: Great design, but poor quality... 2010-06-20
Comment: I had this kettle for a year. The design is great, but the materials were so cheap that after a year's use (I used it at least once a day), I decided to just throw it away. The part that the handle is attached to is aluminum and it is flimsy. It also didn't seem safe to continue using. I noticed that each time I wiped the inside dry, my white paper towel would become dark gray! Brown flakes would also develop at the bottom of the pot on occasion. I was very disappointed with this product and am looking for a new tea kettle as I write this review.

Summary: Completes my set 2010-06-01
Comment: I brought the Aqua colored pots and pan set by Paula Deen for my birthday and I completed the set with tea kettle by the same color. The color is beautiful and I love using it when I have guest over for tea or instant coffee. The only thing it doesn't whistle.
