CAFÉ BREW COLLECTION Stovetop Tea Kettle, Whistling, Borosilicate Glass, 12-Cup

ガス火で使用。 ホーローがダメになったので。 ガラスなので何かとか出てくる心配なし。 食洗機もオッケー。 毎朝コーヒーを入れている。 美味しい。

Always wanted a glass kettle. I like the design and whistle is not loud which suits my needs.

I'm almost glad I broke my old kettle as this one is way better. It wasn't very well packed but still arrived at my workplace in one piece. It then survived being in my bicycle basket on the way home. Seems quite sturdy and strong. And it arrived early. Happy customer.

El vidrio es delgado pero no la he golpeado, no sé qué tanto resista. Espero que dure. No hay que someterla a cambios bruscos de temperatura ni dejarla olvidada en el fuego pero el cuidado que requiere vale la pena. El agua no adquiere sabores ni químicos dañinos como en otros materiales, se calienta muy rápido, queda muy bonita después de lavarla aunque se ensucie con grasa. Por lo que representan en sabor, salud y estética el precio es muy bueno. Más de 4 años de uso y sigue muy bien, la calidad del vidrio es excelente.

This is a GREAT whistling kettle. I like it so much, I bought a second one on the off chance I dropped one and broke it. Here are the highlights: It holds 12 cups of water. The lid is removable. The glass is heat resistant, laboratory quality boroscilicate. The handle is heat resistant. The whistle is gentle, not ear piercing. The glass is marked with the minimum amount of water for heating, as well as at the 6 cup level. The handle stays cool on my gas stove. You can see when the water begins to steam, form tiny bubbles, and boil. This is handy for brewing green tea, or when heating water for a manual drip or press type coffee maker, where you do not want boiling water, but you do want it very hot. It comes with a little wire "star" for use on a conventional electric range. It is unnecessary to use it on a gas range, but with an electric, put the wire "diffuser" on the burner coils, and then sit this pot on top of it. I use a gas range, so I sit the kettle right on the grate. I use the smallest burner, and I make certain that the flame is NOT licking up the sides of the kettle. If the flame is too high, it will do that, and chances are good that you will burn your hand when you grab the handle. You might also MELT the handle...not a good thing. So keep the flame reasonable. One person mentioned the Norpro 144 Heat Diffuser as a solution to keeping the handle cool. Perhaps that is the case with an electric range, but on a gas cook top, it actually spreads the heat over too wide an area, wider than the diameter of the glass kettle. Because of that, heat will rise directly to the handle. I bought the Nopro based on that advice (it was in response to a question posted about this kettle), used it once, and burned my hand when I grabbed the handle of the kettle. So if you use a gas range, do not use the Norpro 144 Heat Diffuser. It will just take longer for the water to boil, and you will need a pot holder to hold the kettle. Dislikes? Only two, and the first one is nit-picking. The top must be removed to pour the water. Hinging it would be more convenient (but that might make cleaning it in the dishwasher harder). Second: forget a 96 oz (12 cup) capacity. This kettle holds just about 64 oz (1/2 gallon). Seriously, if you don't do anything like boiling the pot dry, or dousing it with cold water as soon as it comes off the stove, this tea kettle should last a long time. Actually, the glass is thermal shock resistant, but why tempt fate?
