 Wonderful Tea Kettle |

| In the market for a good tea kettle? Then look no further. When the time came for me to get a tea kettle, this was the one I looked for. I grew up with this one in the house, and it's just as great for my needs. Ok, being single, 3.5 quarts may be a bit bigger then I normally use, but I just add as much water as I need and set it on the stove. The water heats quickly. Steam sets off a whistle in the spout, and it can be heard with ease in any part of the house. I looked at other Revere kettles, but found their handles and spout openers to be rather flimsy. Not so, here. This kettle will last for quite awhile. As always, Revere has made a wonderful product. It's so easy, even this bachelor has no problem heating water. |
The Kettle That Could, Tried and True

So it is not the most beautifully designed kettle whose stylish exterior would enliven your kitchen. It also does not open and allow easy cleaning. BUT I have used mine since 1976 and it is still going strong. Never, ever had a problem with it. The whistle can be heard all over the house, so you know when the water is ready. No guess work here. It is light-weight and can be lifted and used with one hand. All of it's wonderful qualities that I took for granted were magnified for me when I recently decided to buy a new kettle. After all, 28 years warrants a new kettle, right?
I bought the Analon, which had no reviews, but looked oh-so-pretty. It is so heavy I need both hands to just lift it, when it is not filled with water! The snazzy squeezable handle that operates the spout barely opens and it is awkward to use. The whistle is almost non-existant, and the water takes forever to boil. It makes the tea preparation process a chore, not a joy.
Having learned my lesson and scouring these pages for reviews of good kettles, I decided to buy this model again. After all, it is the kettle that could perform on all the necessary levels. Tried and true. |
Revere Whistling Tea Kettle

| I ordered this kettle because I destroyed my former kettle when I forgot that the water was boiling and left it on the stove until its bottom melted. With the whistling kettle, I can't forget when it's boiling. It's also very sentimental because I bought the same Revere kettle for my mother when I was a teenager, and I'm now 71. |
I have this for over 43yrs.

I have had the same large Revere Ware Tea kettle for over 43yrs.
I use "Bar Keepers Friend" for cleaning the outside and the copper bottom.
With this cleanser you don't have to scrub or polish the copper or the stainless, just put it on your sponge or sprinkle it right on the kettle, like you would wash out your sink with any cleanser.
It can be bought at walmart, bedbath&beyond or your market.
I do not work or have anything to do with "bar keepers friend", but it works and makes my life easier...
Now for this Revere ware Tea kettle.
I don't know how the new ones are, but like I said, Mine is 43yrs old, and looks almost as new as when I got it for a Bridal shower present, and I use it all the time.
I just bought a new "Vileroy & Boch French garden" tea kettle,which looks cute, but does not compare to this tea kettle.
I don't know why any of you think this is not so good looking!
When I put my Villeroy & Boch on my new Stainless Bosch stove, even my Daughter said, that is tackie, put your Revere ware one on your stove, it looks Classier.
Now We are not into Country cutesie, so if you are, then maybe the Villeroy and boch one is for you.
The Revere Ware whisle can be heard ,but Not the other one!
The Revere ware, I have NEVER had any trouble with.
It stays cool to handle and, doesn't burn your hand.
Is easy to fill, and I don't have to take a lid off, or the end off when I'm ready to use it.
I have never had any broken parts on mine.
My only complaint is, you really cannot clean the inside, but I put vinigar & Bakeing soda inside it, let it sit for a short time , then rinse it out with soapy water, then clear water.
Nobody has died yet of a dirty Tea kettle in my house.
A couple of weeks ago, I forgot about the Tea Kettle and the water boiled out .
I thougth for sure I ruined it..
The bottom was gray ash.
When it cooled down, I keeped rinseing the inside out, and black specks of burnt something, keeped coming out while trying to clean it out.
I used Vinagar & baking soda , rinsed that out, boiled more water in it, used soap and water, keeped rinsing it out till not anymore black flakes came out...
Used my Bar Keepers Friend on the bottom,top and all over...
This tea kettle is amazing...
It now works just like new, and still looks like New...
I think if it was another tea kettle I would have had to throw it out...
I can see that the newer one has a different looking spout cover, and the puller to pour the water looks different then mine, and flumsy !
Enjoy -o)

Cleaning

| I have used a Revere teakettle for 41 years. To clean it...all you need to do is take some Easy Off oven cleaner (spray type) and spray the stainless steel part. This cleans all the grease spatters and any other spatters you get on it. Leave the Easy Off on until you see that you can wipe off the stains. Wipe, rinse and dry. It will look brand new. |
