The Le Creuset enamel on steel Demi Kettle is crafted from fast-heating premium carbon steel glaze. Useful for preparing French press coffee, oatmeal, and much more in addition to tea, durable carbon steel heats water rapidly, and a fixed single-tone whistle alerts when the water has reached a rolling boil. Chip-resistant, non-reactive, resistant to stains, and easy to clean, Le Creuset kettles make excellent gifts and are a beautiful way to add a touch of color to the kitchen.
