How To Choose A Whistling Tea Kettle

A whistling tea kettle is one of the best ways to serve your favorite tea. While it is certainly more expensive than your average tea kettle, it has a variety of great qualities that sets it apart from the competition. Not only does it whistle when it's hot, but it also has a lovely design that will keep your kids entertained while they sit by the fire. But while it's an inexpensive buy, all whistling tea kettles aren't created equally.

Top quality whistling tea pots come in many different styles. You can find them in a plain looking metal or in a beautiful and durable glass material. No matter which material they're made in, each one is made to be durable and easy to clean. While it isn't exactly a low-cost item, it is still relatively inexpensive compared to many other kitchen utensils. The best whistling tea kettle, made from a durable stainless steel material, usually costs around $50, which is definitely a lot when you consider how long a set of kettle cups last.

The actual style of the whistling tea kettle is what sets it apart from your typical kitchen utensil. Because it has a non-vented whistle, it provides a lovely background noise while heating your teas. However, because it doesn't use a handle, you don't have to worry about keeping your hands away from it. It has a non-stick surface, so there's no fear of a dripping cup ruining the porcelain of your table. If you would prefer the ease of a handle, however, you can choose a model with a handle provided all the way around the pot. This option is less expensive but also provides less flexibility in terms of where you place your tea cups or saucers.
