Question: Do you need to remove the lid in order to pour boiled water?
Document: First of all, if you use an electric stove, you need to always make sure a small metal trivet is on the coils, in between the stove and the kettle. Annnoying!Second, you need to remove the top lid in order to pour anything out. Another annoying step.Last, there is all of this writing on the kettle that does not come off- it is not a stick on label, it is literally painted on.
where to start:the whistle needs to "man-handled" to remove-and it MUST be removed in order to pour, unlike most where you simply push down a lever;Here's the rub: you need oven mitts to handle the handle & lid. the whole thing is a dramatic ordeal & better left to octopus'sif I could give it a negative star I certainly would. shame on the aholes who made this blasted thing.
Returning immediately. This is not a hinged lid. You must remove the lid completely in order to pour the boiling water. That doesn't seem very safe to me.
I was sick of looking at the rust on my enameled tea pot, thinking about drinking that with every cup of tea. I ordered this tea pot and am very happy. The lid does need to be removed in order to pour the water, but the hook lets you do so without burning your finger. It will get a little hot if I heat my tea pot on a very high flame (I have a gas stovetop). But not that hot :-)
At high setting, it takes much longer to boil the water.- With significant amount of heat dissipating around, it means that the lower part of the handle will get hot. I can usually get by by holding the upper part. But in several occasions when I left it on the range too long, it gets too hot and I need a oven mitt to pick it up. -- The lid handle can get too hot sometime too.- You must take off the lid in order to pour water.
The lid has to be removed in order to pour and when it is hot, the lid is difficult to remove as it heats up as does the handle.
I can usually handle hot items but wow, this gets unbelievably hot! *Need to remove the lid to pour water... I was afraid that the steam would burn my hand lifting up the lid (which also gets hot), although it doesn't seem to. But I'm still hesitant and careful. *Whistle is weak... can't tell if it's at full boil or almost boiling. *Opening is pretty small.
Haven't tried to position it so it does get hot - common sense should keep your hands from burning.I guess the only other criticism (minor) is the need to remove the lid to pour the water.Added:Just ordered my third one. The first got broken by my cleaning lady, the replacement got the lid melted into it (last night)when I accidentally lit the wrong gas when it was empty and then went away and left it. Pretty smelly!
The design is very attractive, but the handle is badly placed for a gas stove. It picks up a lot of heat from the hot air rushing around the sides of the kettle. I have to use an oven mitt to pour it. Probably not as much of an issue on electric stoves.Then there's the little black stopper/whistle at the top, which kind of hangs around your kitchen stupidly once the water is boiled because you have to remove it to pour.
Looks and works great, but the top has to be REMOVED in order to pour out the water. An attached lid would be better.
Answer: Yes.  And, watch out for the steam from the whistle hole.  You can get a nasty burn.
