Best Teapot I've Ever Had
We LOVE this teapot, have had it for 2 years...We have a Staub teapot as well, and while we love the aesthetic of that pot, we far prefer to use this one. Contrary to other comments, we've NEVER had a problem with it, you just have to use common sense: you have to bend the wires at the end of the handle into notches to properly fit the pot - there has never been a danger of the pot coming loose; don;t fill the hot pot with cold water; and once the water has boiled, it does help to take the lid off (with a hot pad) for a couple of seconds to let steam out - it prevents excessive sputtering from the spout. I've bought 2 now for gifts and the reviews from those friends have been the same as mine - and ceramic is truly the best for tea.

A "Real" Tea Kettle
This tea kettle is by far the best stovetop tea kettle. Versatile and heavy duty, water comes to a boil quickly and retains its heat long after the burner has been turned off. Best part: tea tastes like tea. No metallic taste and no rust over time! I have had my kettle for a number of years. It has withstood the abuse of being banged around in the kitchen sink without a single chip or nick. Great investment!

Dangerous Joyce Chen Kettle!!
This kettle is very dangerous and should be taken off the market immediately!! There is a serious design flaw in the kettle. The wire apparatus attached the handle to the kettle is not secure. Less than two months after I purchased it, the handle gave way with the wire slipping that held the kettle to the handle. It dropped full of boiling, scalding water, breaking as it hit the counter and floor, coating me with scalding water on the way. The front of both my legs have second degree burns with large blisters and broken skin. I shudder to think what would have happended to my two pug dogs had they been close to me as they usually are. The force and heat would have been enough to blind and/or kill them.

This pot should be taken off the market for safety reasons until the design flaw is fixed. I bought it because it was a lovely kettle made of safe ceramic. Please don't risk the purchase.

This design flaw was noted in the review dated August 2006 made on this site by another customer. Unfortunately, the kettle was still being sold in 2008, two years later.
