Resto 134oz Water Kettle Review

Resto 134oz Water Kettle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the highest-quality kettle I have seen on the market. Thick solid surgical stainless steel, impressive encapsulated bottom for induction cooking (personally, I use it on a gas stove). Manufactured -- the HARD WAY -- out of a single piece of steel, no seams. The spout is welded to the body, then machined/polished smooth so it looks of a single piece with the rest of the kettle. Magnificent workmanship.
You get a 30-year warranty for home use (10 for commercial use). I don't know what such a warranty actually means... but for me it certainly means this will probably be the only piece of cookware that'll be fit to be passed on to the next generations as a treasured heirloom. It's that good.

Old Dutch 2 Quart Solid Copper Teakettle With Wooden Handle Review

Old Dutch 2 Quart Solid Copper Teakettle With Wooden Handle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this kettle based on the description that it was "solid copper" even though it came with a lacquer coating that would have to be removed before heating water. It looked nice enough when I received it, but once I decided to tackle the lacquer removal, it took much longer for the lacquer to soften (20 - 30 minutes versus the manufacturers statement of 5-10 minutes) and when I started to clean the residue off of the surface (again following the manufacturer's instructions) the copper started to rub off!!!
After contacting the manufacturer, it turns out that it is only a copper finish, not solid copper, and the description was a "typing error" on the part of the manufacturer (per their communication). If you want a functional copper kettle, don't buy this one unless you don't care about still having a copper finish once the lacquer is removed. The copper coating is so thin, it will rub off with only one cleaning!
I am returning it ASAP!

Copco Cambridge Stainless-Steel Teakettle Review

Copco Cambridge Stainless-Steel Teakettle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
WARNING: THIS IS ONLY 1.4 QT (not 2.5 QT as both Copco & Amazon claim).
THIS IS NOT 18-10 Stainless Steel as Amazon claims. (even Copco admits in the
tiny-font "Kettle Care" insert that RUST will occur if ANY water remains).
Additionally, the phenolic handle can get VERY HOT (even Copco admits in the
tiny-font "Kettle Care" insert: "ALWAYS USE A POTHOLDER"). And, the handle
support/frame is cast zinc (again, NOT Stainless Steel) and subsequently will
corrode and/or oxidize to a dull/white appearance.
So, if you ONLY need a classical decorative item, this may be just fine at 15 bucks.
(the capacity of 1.4 QT is at Copco's own marked "MAX FILL" line, which, again,
Copco states in the tiny-font "Kettle Care" insert and is printed on the kettle front)
WARNING: at the erroneously claimed 2.5 QT capacity, this kettle will spray
boiling-hot water upon a contiguous area ~12" from the spout tip!
(Amazon really needs to 'clean-up' their numerous & growing product description
errors! As the world's leading online purchasing site, that should be Goal #1; in
a completely digital shop, that's our primary source of info!) (As for the vendor
Copco, don't know why they can't simply tell the truth!?!)
Finally, to quote Seinfeld, "What's the deal with all these teapots, anyhow?!"
(seriously, we've been looking for YEARS for a quality thang-to-boil-water-in-with-
a-spout-and-lid)
