The Chantal Classic teakettle has been rated among the best teakettles for years. This enamel-on-steel unit features long-lasting carbon-steel/stainless-steel components coated by an attractive ceramic finish. The nonreactive enamel interior prevents metal from reacting with the water, delivering a healthier, better-tasting tea. The kettle's smooth, flat base allows for maximum contact with the burner, and is OK for use with ceramic, glass, and induction stovetops. You'll know the water is boiling once the genuine Hohner harmonica whistle sounds its two notes. In addition, the kettle offers a spring-loaded, stay-open flipper that lets you keep your fingers away from the steam while pouring. Chantal offers replacement parts if a part deteriorates, letting tea aficionados enjoy a lifetime of use. In addition, the kettle features an extra-large lid opening for easy cleaning. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the color fade?
A: Never. However, gas stoves have been known to cause discoloration on the bottom.
Q: How do I clean it?
A: Chantal teakettles are dishwasher-safe. You will need to occasionally boil a quart of water with 1/4 cup vinegar for 10 to 15 minutes to remove lime deposits from the Hohner whistle.
Q: Will it work on all stoves?
A: Yes, including glass and ceramic tops as well as magnetic induction.
Q: Why are replacement parts available? Is it a quality issue?
A: Chantal uses nothing but the highest-quality materials available. However, the materials in the lid gasket and the whistle simply will not last as long as the enamel pot, and by offering replacement parts for these items, your teakettle can last a lifetime.
