Product DescriptionPerfect for tea, coffee, instant soup, or hot chocolate the familiar pitch of this whistling teakettle calls attention to itself when water is boiling. Traditionally dome-shaped, the 2-1/2-quart 18/10 stainless-steel body carries a polished shine. Contouring to the hand, the U-shaped Phenolic handle resists heating for a comfortable grip. A circular spout cover, made of the same material, easily flips open to cease whistle and begin pouring. Interior access provided by a wide top opening simplifies cleaning. Kettle base features a flat surface to promote rapid heating. Dishwasher-safe but surface may dull over time due to harsh soaps; hand washing recommended for best results. Farberware's quality assurance warranty guarantees product against manufacturer defects immediately after purchase.
What Others Say
Hot thumb!
Overall a perfectly fine tea kettle. However the placement of the lid opener means you can get a good dose of very hot steam on your thumb when you open it. Revere Ware similar teakettle has opener on handle. Much better!

Sorry I bought this item. Farberware has always been a favorite of mine but this is not what I expected. Although the price was great, the spout is very awkward and does not close easily. It seems rather flimsy and I don't expect it to last over 20 years like my last Farberware tea kettle.

I chose Farberware due to it's reputation as well as personal experience with the product. The kettle was a gift and the recipients, who are avid tea drinkers,love it.

Do you know how long it took me to find this replacement for the one I had? It does every thing a 2 1/2 qt kettle should do at half the price of anything else. I must have had the old one 20 years and until I boiled all the water out of it I would be using it today...Boy those can get hot!I also melted one of the cooktop switches when I set the kettle on it after I found it.Hopefully they will still be making these is another 20 or so years.
Farberware Classic 2-1/2-Quart Stainless Steel Whistling Teakettle
Good product. Light weight and made well. Only criticism is that there is no "trigger" to automatically open the cover to pour. This model requires cap to be pulled back to open.
