All Clad Stainless 2 Quart Teakettle

Renowned worldwide for its cookware collections, All-Clad now makes kitchen accessories, and that’s welcome news to serious and professional cooks. This gorgeous 2-quart teakettle is a perfect example. Made of heavy 18/10 stainless steel polished to a gleaming mirror finish, it’s stain– and corrosion-resistant, comes with a removable whistle, and boasts a graceful, comfortable stay-cool handle. A thick aluminum disk set into the bottom (and clad in stainless steel for easy cleaning) ensures quick heat. A lovely complement to any All-Clad cookware line, this teakettle also stands on its own as a beautiful, practical addition to any kitchen. The kettle carries a lifetime warranty against defects. –Fred Brack

1 Star Does not whistle
My old Oxo whistling tea kettle just broke (spring popped out and it stopped whistling) after 4 years of use. So, I bought this All-Clad based on the well-known caliber of its pots and pans. Unfortunately, after one day’s use, I am returning it, as it does NOT whistle. Not only does it NOT whistle, but the entire product is flimsier than my Oxo was. The bottom is thin stainless. It’s made in China. I think I’ll get the Windsor whistling kettle, made in England. Avoid this All-Clad mistake.
1 Star Junk
I love All-Clad generally, but this is not really All-Clad, in my opinion. In spite of All-Clad’s proud marketing that it is a US product, this piece is made in China under contract with All-Clad. It looks fine on first glance, but feel it — it is cheaply made with bad fit and finish. Instead of rivets, it has spot welds. The design is bad as the handle heats with the water and you need a pot holder to pour the water. The whistle on mine did not work. And, I contacted the company twice about it and got no response. Don’t waste your money. I will think twice about buying any more All-Clad from a company that does not even provide a courtesy response to two customer complaints.
1 Star Not a good buy
I own and love All-Clad cookware, so I was hopeful this teakettle would be another fine product. Unfortunately, this teakettle does not meet the grade. I got two different versions from a store and they both had the same problem: the whistle does not fit securely in the spout, and as a result, the pressure does not build up and the kettle does not whistle. I gave up on All-Clad and went with Chantal, which works very well and looks good, too!
1 Star Constant Metal Flecks Make This Kettle a Loser
I have now had and returned 3 of these kettles b/c the boiled water–and I have boiled 10 (TEN) batches of water in EACH kettle and each time the boiled water contained little silver/grey flecks of metal. It is unbelievable that 3 of these kettles would have the problem and that All-Clad is “unaware” of any issues with the kettle. The model that has been shipped was “Made in China” and leaves me wondering how All-Clad is overseeing the manufacture of these kettles, and what exactly is going into the boiled water. Steer clear!
2 Stars All-Clad Stainless Tea Kettle
I have All-Clad pots and pans, which are substantial and well-made. I assumed this product would be the same. The stainless steel is in fact relatively thin. The removable whistle flimsy, essentially snapping into place by a staple. The lid closes unevenly unless you force it down. Very disappointing. I bought a much less expensive Oxo and have been very pleased.
