VIKING Culinary 3-Ply Whistling Tea Kettle for All Cooktops, 2.6 Quart

The Viking Stainless Steel 2.6 Quart Whistling Tea Kettle is thoughtfully designed with a 3-Ply base, ensuring even heat distribution that leads to quicker boiling times. This kettle showcases an elegant appearance, featuring a cast stainless steel handle that is securely riveted to the pot for a dependable grip during pouring and filling. It serves as a stylish addition to any kitchen, compatible with all stovetops, including induction.

With its timeless design, this kettle enhances the aesthetic of any stovetop. Constructed from 18/8 stainless steel, both the kettle body and the spout are non-reactive and easy to clean. The surgical-grade stainless steel ensures that the kettle does not impart any metallic flavors to your water, allowing you to fully appreciate the rich tastes of your coffee, tea, or instant soups.

Embedded within the stainless steel base is a thick layer of aluminum that heats evenly, resulting in boiling water more rapidly than traditional kettles. Its magnetic stainless steel base guarantees functionality on all cooktops, including induction. Additionally, the Viking kettle comes equipped with a glass lid, providing visibility into the heating process—a handy feature for those curious whether a watched pot actually boils faster. Being able to monitor the water’s progress allows you to turn off the heat when preparing beverages that taste best just off the boil.

The kettle is designed with a levered one-touch spout, which has a heat-resistant silicone cover for safe handling; it can easily be operated with your thumb or a single finger. As the kettle reaches the boil, it emits a melodic whistle, signaling that your water is ready. The handle is strategically positioned to prevent your fingers from getting too close to the steam when lifting the kettle off the stove. Moreover, it includes a built-in heat break to minimize heat transfer, helping to keep the handle cool during use. Depending on the amount of water and the duration of boiling, the handle can remain cool on both induction and electric stovetops, while gas stoves may raise the handle's temperature quicker due to their direct heat.

For safety reasons, it is advisable to use a hot pad or another protective material when handling a hot kettle, especially until you gauge how it performs on your specific stovetop.

Available in a mirror-polished stainless steel finish for a classic touch, the Viking tea kettles also come in a variety of hues, including rose gold, black, copper, red, white with stainless handle, and a new variant in white with a copper handle—perfect for those wishing to inject some color into their kitchen decor. This tea kettle includes a 2.6-quart/2.5-liter capacity, making it an essential addition to your tea set or kitchen cookware collection.

When it comes to serving tea—whether hot or iced, black or herbal—the Viking Kettle is an excellent choice, perfectly combining style and functionality. With a wide range of options in durable materials such as stainless steel, aluminum nonstick, copper, titanium, cast iron, and carbon steel, Viking offers an array of products to suit your culinary needs.
