Enjoy a hot cup of tea and your kitchen décor with the Viking 3-Ply Stainless Steel Tea Kettle, a 2.6-quart (2.5 L) whistling kettle designed for both beauty and performance. Crafted with durable stainless steel and a thick aluminum core embedded in the base, the portable water boiler heats water quickly and evenly on all stove top types, including gas, electric, and induction, while the non-reactive interior preserves the pure taste of your beverages. The tempered glass lid of our teapots lets you monitor water as it boils, and the melodic whistle signals when it’s ready, so you can enjoy tea, coffee, instant soups, and more at the temperature. A levered one-touch spout with a heat-protected silicone cover allows for safe, single-handed pouring, while the cast stainless steel handle, strategically placed with a heat break to reduce heat transfer, a comfortable, secure grip. Featuring a sleek, elegant finish that complements modern kitchens, this versatile teapot combines timeless style with lasting durability. **Depending on how much water is in the kettle and how long it’s been boiling, heat may transfer to the handle, especially with gas stoves. Please be sure the lid is tightly seated in place before heating. Gas stoves heat more of the kettle itself, allowing the heat to travel through the body of the water heater kettle into the handle much quicker, eventually becoming too warm to grip without protection. We recommend using a hot pad or other protection when lifting a hot kettle until you know how it responds on your particular stovetop.**
