Choosing a Whistling Tea Kettle

When choosing a whistling tea kettle, you should keep a few things in mind. Not all models come with pre-packaged filters, and these can be difficult to find at your local grocery store. Another thing to keep in mind is that a whistling tea kettle's filter isn't interchangeable with those used in other types of infusers. To avoid this, you should choose one that comes with a non-removable, twist-off lid.

You'll also want a whistling tea kettle with a comfortable handle. This allows for easy maneuvering and lifting and is ideal for use on electric, gas, and glass cooktops. You'll be able to easily see the boiling water, and the kettle's silicone or wooden handle is great for preventing scorching your counter. While the whistle is a nice touch, you'll probably want to purchase a kettle with a handle that is comfortable for you and that you can use to pour your beverage.

While most whistling tea kettles can hold a variety of liquids, you should consider the capacity and type of food you want to cook with it. For example, a 1-liter kettle is perfect for boiling instant soups and oatmeal packets. However, it can't handle a large portion of food, and therefore, a larger one will be better for you. If you are cooking for a large family, you may want to consider a larger whistling tea kettle.
