Demi Teakettle / 1 1/4 qt. / Dual locking handles / Heat resistant handles and knobs / Whistle / Meets European Standards / Red

Distinguishing itself from other Le Creuset demi kettles, this 1-1/4-quart vessel offers the added benefit of a whistle that communicates with a high-pitched tone when the water has reached its boiling point. Thanks to a carbon-steel core, heat conducts quickly and evenly. The pot's exterior features Le Creuset's renowned enamel coating providing a surface that not only looks lovely, but also wipes clean with a damp cloth. Additional features include a removable lid that fits tightly to trap in heat and a locking handle that facilitates safe pouring and transport. Although heat-resistant, the handle can get quite warm so oven mitts are recommended. Appropriate for heating sources ranging from gas and electric to radiant and ceramic, the stovetop teakettle will function in any household. Measuring 5-5/8 by 5-5/8 by 4-3/8 inches, the piece benefits from periodic de-scaling and should be hand washed. --Amy Arnold
