freddie Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 As I now have a woodburner(since September), and it has a flat top, I'm looking into getting a kettle to sit on it, for the nightly tea drinking, get up half the night routines! Advice on makes/efficiency etc, and all the problems, dear folk!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Probably any gas kettle would be ok, or one suitable for an aga...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I was given a le Creuset one about 10 years ago, I now use it on my cooker hob but I hanker after one of these. The price is a bit of an obstacle though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammiboo Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Le creuset! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Another vote for Le Creuset I got this one in May and love it! http://www.christianshens.blogspot.com/2011/05/polly-put.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 We have one of these http://www.agacookshop.co.uk/kettles/hard-anodised-kettle.html which we use on the aga. Can't believe the price I am sure we didn't pay that much but we have had it since we moved here so that is over 7 years Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I want one, but my woodburner is really small and all the ones I've seen would be too big a diameter, I think. I might look for a coffee-pot instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 We have a Le Crueset one, but the whistle stopped wotking very soon after we bought it from a Le Creuset outlet shop, i notice that they now have different whistles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 We have a Cotswold which we use on our woodburner. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cafetiere-Cotswold-Stainless-Steel-Kettle/dp/B0009Q0KUA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I have the same one Christian but the older version. I am now looking for something more contemporary to the age of my house, so less modern in style. I use mine in the woodburner or the cooker/stove.

abwsco Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Oh, I so wish I hadn't looked at this thread as a) I now want a stove top kettle and b) want this one that's £90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Ooo glad I stumbled on this - we want a new kettle for the Rayburn! Think ours will be a Le Crueset, as I love their cookware. Lasts forever. But I love those that Dogmother wants, those are verrrrrrrry nice! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TutuTallulah Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Abwsco - Don't get the Alessi kettle! I had one and the little bird doesnt whistle so ended up in the kitchen drawer eventually. The spout gets so hot that when you try to pour it it splatters and spits and really is a health and safety issue. The handle went 'crazy' (all little cracks if you know what I mean!) Alessi did not want to know. No response to emails or letters. I would never buy an Alessi item again, but bitterness aside, this was a really rubbish buy. Save your £90 or buy something worth the investment with it! Tutu x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see a Le Creuset one in TK Max but that had great big chunks out of it so have scrubbed that one of my list as well. Think I'm just going to get this cheapy from Argos linky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chookingham Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) how about a camping kettle: nice and cheap and not too ugly: click Edited January 7, 2012 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybettybabs Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I have a Le Creuset, It's ok but i don't think it's flat enough to boil quickly. I will get an Aga one next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
