 perfect kettle whistle replacement December 5, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
One day in a second-hand store I saw a handsome stainless steel teakettle for $3, which I bought because I liked the lines. (It wasn't an Alessi; lt was less angular and more traditionally spherical. I later discovered that it was a Lagostina, and cost about $200 new.) I never used it until one day the electricity went out--the best reason not have an electric stove--and I was reduced to boiling water on my trusty gas stove.
Being absentminded, of course I wandered out of the kitchen lost in a good book and let the kettle boil dry, because it didn't have a whistle to alert me it was boiling. So I went on the internet in search of one--they are hard to find. Eventually I located the stylish Alessi Bird whistle (Availible in the original red; but also in yellow/orange, and white), and it actually fit and looked splendid on the Lagostina kettle. Even if it hadn't, I liked it and would have shaved it down to fit. The bird whistle is whimsically elegant, and effective in reminding me to take the boiling kettle off the flame. I recommend this whistle IF it fits your narrow-spout kettle.
