Customer review: "This works on our induction hob, and boils far quicker than an electric kettle. It has a temperature gauge on the lid so we can get it to the precise temperature for making proper large leaf teas. The spout pours really beautifully and it is a joy to use. We descale the kettle with the juice of a fresh lemon which leaves it looking new again. Much better than the old electric kettle we used before."

Although it does not whistle, unlike all the models on this list, this has other perks as it has been modelled on a traditional Japanese design. The Victor Cast Iron Tea Kettle offers a unique tea brewing experience and looks beautiful in the kitchen. Ideal for use on all stove types as well as wood cookers and open fires too – it's perfect for those who enjoy a more traditional experience. Unlike other kettles, it doesn't whistle but instead comes with an infuser, allowing it to double as a teapot. The handle isn't insulated, so an oven mitt or glove is needed for safe handling. If you are looking for a kettle for typical British tea drinking, this might not be the best option – but if it is something authentic you are after, this is a good choice.
Customer review: "Bought to use on wood burning stove, and I have to say it’s one of my best purchases. Surprisingly, the boiled water has a much nicer taste than the water boiled in my electric kettle, which was an added bonus. More than enough water for three large mugs when full. The handle gets warm but not overly hot. It’s not a large kettle, so not too heavy to handle, and the quality is good."
