Whistling tea kettles

That high-pitched tone of a tea kettle is instantly recognizable all across the world. From China to California, whistling tea kettles offer users a time-honored way of boiling water and brewing teas for any occasion, whether it be breakfast or a formal tea ceremony. Unique locking handles make lifting, filling and pouring whistling tea kettle extra easy. Heat-resistant phenolic knobs and handle are a nice feature, and heavy-gauge steel coated with glossy enamel gives you a sturdy and decorative kettle. A tea kettle has been designed to use on top of a stove or hot plate to heat water that has been placed in the kettle by the person who desires the hot water. Once the water has come to the proper temperature, it is usually used to make tea, although it could be used for any purpose where very hot water was needed.

Tea drinkers either love a whistling tea kettle dearly or hate them severely, with no in-between. The whistle can come in handy when you aren't going to be able to stay in the same room with the tea kettle - at least you will know when the water is ready for tea making when you hear the whistle. Tea kettle purists say there is no need for such a whistle, and that it distracts the mind from the true purpose of the kettle, which is to bring the water to a quick boil.

Believe it or not, you can actually find replacement whistles for tea kettles. And, you can also purchase a tea kettle whistle that you merely place onto the spout of a tea kettle that started out with no whistle at all. The most popular type of tea kettle whistle is made in the shape of a bird in flight, and is bright red in color. The notes of this whistle are clear and bright, quite a lot like a bird song.
