Stellar "Bresor" Stainless Steel Stove Top Whistling Kettle 2.0Ltr suitable for AGA / RAYBURN

We are either lucky or unlucky to have an Aga in our kitchen. This is one of the older models that runs continuously, is always on, heats our water and runs on gas. These days, Aga make more environmentally friendly ones that are electric and can be programmed via one’s ipad or mobile so that the heat, and hence the costs, are more suited to today’s budget and environmentally friendly world. This being said, if one comes in late and fancies a tray of hot sausage rolls or a hot bath, then, it’s available - instantly. Though my wife disputes such a thing it's also really good at drying just-washed clothes. It also makes toast and boils a kettle as quickly as an electric one. I was looking forward to clawing back some of the extra expenditure on gas by using the Aga kettle rather than the electric. Unfortunately, my wife decided that there was a funny taste coming from the Aga kettle especially when she had tea and much preferred to use the electric one. Each time the button was pressed the little wheel in the electricity meter (watching? Who me? ) spun like a satellite whizzing round the earth and I am sure our bills went to a similar height. I saw this wonderful little kettle on Amazon and thought that I would soon recoup its cost by a reduction in electricity bills. It’s a lovely thing to behold as it sits there with its sleek and shiny magnificence. Capacity is perfect and will boil water for several drinks in one go. Its smaller size also encourages one not to overfill it especially if there are just one or two drinks being made. More importantly, the inside is also sleek and shiny and, of course, I wasted no time in showing said interior to my wife who upon tasting a cup of tea made from freshly drawn and boiled water pronounced, as I held my breath, that it tasted as good as that from the electric kettle. Please note, it’s suitable not just for Agas and Rayburns but other heat sources too. The handle is hollow and in my experience never runs hot. There is also a whistle which is very vigorous and is probably loud enough to be heard by the neighbours. Please note this runs very hot and if one has the whistle in place then one can really only remove it when the kettle has boiled with a tea towel or oven glove. For this reason I tend to dispense with its use as the kettle boils so quickly that I usually just wait for it to boil rather than go out and prune a few roses. Although it does boil water quickly please note that the dedicated Aga kettle was even quicker. These are very heavy things with perfectly flat and thick bases which are optimised for Aga use and are also very expensive. This kettle is, however, quick enough and comes in at a lower price point as well as satisfying my wife’s taste test. All in all this has been a good investment, the electricity meter has gone back to its more sedate spinnings – I just have to get on with removing the fuse in the electric dryer now – shush don’t tell!

Super schön und elegant hält was er verspricht Flöte laut wie es sein soll. Beim abnehmen der Flöte aber bitte Topflappen benutzen sonst Verbrennung vom Dampf was aber bei dieser Art von Flötenkessel völlig normal ist. Würde ich sofort wieder kaufen und die Lieferung schnell und super

I love this all steel (no plastic) stove top kettle. It boils super quickly on my induction hob as the kettle has a wide flat base The handle doesnt get hot at all. The handle is hollow so the weight is kept down, which is useful as I have weak arms. But the kettle still feels solid and well made. Overall it strikes just the right balance. The lid comes on and off easily which is good as my grip isnt great, but you can top up through the spout The whistle works well and is very loud - its now my morning wake up alarm It pours well too despite the wide spout. It'll be easy to clean too (our last kettle had a too spindley spout that clogged up too badly in our hard water area) The design is aesthetic, it looks good on our top. I'm also pleased I managed to buy one with no plastic in it, so hopefully a little more planet-friendly to boot. I only wish they did a slightly smaller sized version as we are only 2 and I tend to boil slightly too much water for 1 cup due to the base width.

NACH 10 MONATEN FING ES AN ZU ROSTEN, OBWOHL ES SICH UM EDELSTAHL HANDELT. BEI DIESEM PREIS ERWARTET MAN QUALITÄT. ÜBER BESTELLUNGEN KANN ICH ES NICHT MEHR BEI AMAZON REKLAMIEREN.

I love this kettle. Design is beautiful, it's light, it's small so ideal for one person tho holds up to 2 litres. A lot cheaper to run than an electric kettle. Only disadvantages - the handle DOES get hot, but easy to use a cloth. It's slower too but not noticeably so. The price ... very expensive but the only one that filled all my criteria, so I decided to go ahead. Very glad I did.
