This is a perfect tea pot. It’s classy, it’s large, it’s beautiful. My mother has had two for like 10 years so I just bought mine too after trying to find a better one (I couldn’t). The only “issue” is the handle gets a little warm.
I definitely only recommend the STAINLESS STEEL ones. I have never seen any corrosion on them. I can definitely see why that’s happening though with the enamel ones. The enamel is pretty, but if you want yours to last a decade get the stainless steel.

Le Creuset Classic Tea Kettles

Since 1925, Le Creuset cast iron has been recognized for its strength and durability. Cast individually in sand molds, then hand-inspected by French artisans, each piece represents a rich heritage and continues a tradition of lasting, authentic design.
Le Creuset is focused on inspiring and empowering people everywhere to make joy through cooking. From our original enameled cast iron cookware to stoneware, stainless, silicone and more.
Le Creuset Enamel-on-Steel Teakettles
With classic and modern shapes, there's a Le Creuset kettle to fit into any kitchen design scheme. Useful for preparing French press coffee, oatmeal and much more in addition to tea, durable carbon steel heats water rapidly, and a fixed single-tone whistle alerts when the water has reached a rolling boil.

Heating TipsWhen filling the kettle with water, only fill water above the first layer of holes on the interior of the spout (see diagram on box for more information). For efficient and safe boiling, always use burner a similar in size to the base of the kettle. |
Cleaning and careDo not bang the teakettle down onto a stove's surface or work surface. Repeated banging may damage the exterior enamel. Do not place the kettle on the heat source without having water in the kettle. Never leave a teakettle simmering for long periods on any heat source; it may boil dry, which can result in overheating and damage to the base and enamel. Do not leave water standing in a kettle when it is not in use. A buildup of scale may occur and reduce efficiency. |
Cleaning and careBefore pouring from your teakettle, remove it from the burner and ensure the handle is in the upright position. Le Creuset proudly uses heat-resistant plastic on our handles and whistles. Never place in the dishwasher. To clean, simply hand-wash the kettle with hot, soapy water and dry thoroughly. A gentle kettle de-scaler may be used periodically if required. |

An attractive tea kettle, but pricey
I was hesitant to buy this tea kettle, but for me, I kept coming back to the overall look of this one over the competitors. I trust the Le Creuset brand and so that was another contributing factor. That being said, I think the enamel version of their kettle is terrible by comparison, so get the stainless steel model instead.Instructions say NOT to fill water up to the neck, so DON'T do it! I indicated via a red line in an attached picture where I stop filling on mine. Also, let the water rest off the burner after coming up to boil. If you abide by both of those tips, you shouldn't have the water try to jump out of the neck and spill boiling water all over your counter (or worse, you hands).Make sure you completely dry the kettle inside/out after each use if you want it to keep looking nice. You will need to dry it off after every use if you don't want it lose its original luster. For me, I don't use it everyday. But when I do, I just dry it off inside/out and it continues to look great.Water boils quickly in the kettle. The whistle is NOT as loud as some other whistling kettles I've had in the past. So DON'T walk away from it while its coming up to temperature on the stove. That's pretty standard advice for anyone cooking anything on a stove though.It's a very good, sturdy kettle, but might be a bit over-priced for what it is.
