Question: Does the handle heat up or can you pour the water without using a pot holder? On a quest for a tea kettle where I don't need a potholder to pour.
Document: I was specifically looking for a tea kettle that whistled and whistled loudly. Sorry to say that my search was not meant by this product. Other then that it looks good sitting on your stove and is easy to handle with even when the kettle is full a water.
Good looking kettle, compliments the retro style of my kitchen. Does the job as advertised, and I like having the mechanism to open the spout cap without touching the spout - I used to scald my fingers a lot with my old kettle as I had to pull out the plug in the spout.Only gripe really is that it can be a wee bit awkward to pour, and the whistle doesn't really whistle..
This teakettle has a design flaw. The handle on ours started to come loose within a month or so. It has to be retightened every week or it almost falls off. The loosening occurs at the spot where the handle is attached and by the uplift, which creates a constant yank on this spot. Very frustrating for an expensive, otherwise good tea kettle. Don't but it. The problem is inherent on the design.
This is a very nice product. It feels very durable. It is handsome in appearance. I especially like the feature where the spout lid raises up when the kettle is lifted. I feel that I will get much good use from it without suffering from any defects.
Answer: The handle remains comfortable to grasp after boiling. I bought this for my Mother, and she never needs a pot holder to pour her tea water.
