From Viking, this tea kettle features:  The Viking 2.6 Quart Whistling Tea Kettles feature a 3-Ply base for even heat distribution that results in faster boiling. The elegant look includes a cast stainless steel handle that is riveted onto the pot for a lifetime of security and a comfortable grip while pouring and filling. The Viking Kettle is the perfect stovetop accent for any kitchen and works on all stovetops, including induction. Featuring a classic design, these tea kettles bring a timeless look to any stovetop. The kettle body and spout are built with 18/8 stainless steel that is non-reactive and easy to maintain. Because the kettle is surgical grade stainless steel, it won't impart metallic flavor into your water so you can enjoy the full-bodied flavor of your coffee, tea, instant soups, and more. A thick aluminum core embedded in the stainless steel base heats evenly, allowing water to reach the boiling point more quickly than traditional kettles. The magnetic stainless steel base works on all cooktops, including induction. The Viking kettles include a glass lid that offers visibility into the heating progress for anyone that wants to debate whether or not a watched pot boils faster. Being able to see the progress of the water as it nears a boil also allows you to turn off the heat when you want to enjoy beverage that benefits from a temperature that is just off a boil. The levered one-touch spout includes a heat-resistant silicone cover and can be opened and closed with a thumb or single finger. The spout's melodic whistle alerts you to when your water is ready to serve. The stay-cool handle features a heat break to reduce heat transfer to the handle and is strategically placed to keep fingers away from steam as you lift the kettle off the stove. The Viking tea kettles are available in mirror-polished stainless steel for a more traditional kitchen and in rose gold, black and copper, and red, for those who want to add a touch of color to their home.
