This traditional kettle is designed to be used on the hob. It has a hard anodised finish which is a great conductor of heat, giving you a rapid boil not unlike an electrical kettle. Its also twice as hard as stainless steel so its really durable, easy to clean and scratch resistant. It whistles when its boiling and the filter is removable for cleaning. 1.8 litre capacity. Rapid boil. Boil dry protection - automatically switches off when the kettle is empty. Removable and washable limescale filter. Pull off lid. Whistles when boiling. 360 degree base.
